Just wanted to share a viewer email we got into the newsroom today because I think you’ll all appreciate it: RE: Terrible Rain Forecasting…. You guys absolutely suck at predicting any type of participation you can't even do it 24 hours in advance let alone 12 hours in advance, anything you guys say is going to happen as far as rain goes 95% of the time does not even happen or even come close to what you said was going to happen I know it's ultimately a prediction and you get paid to guess and then people plan their lives off your freaking guess. But you guys really suck you get it wrong more than anybody else. There really is no point in watching any weather anymore outside of just temperatures cuz that's about the only thing you guys can get right. You guys really suck bad, An Don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.. you suck,.. completely change my f****** plans because you guys have been saying all week long it's going to rain on Thursday and Friday afternoon and then nothing, no rain at all, am nothing even in sight for f****** rain. You guys should all be fired from your job you were just on the news this morning talking about rain this afternoon I mean damn you can't even predict weather in the same day your forecasting an repotting on it..

Had a couple of good storms last night. One around midnight and another at 2 am. Had about a half inch of rain. The neighbor down the street had a large branch down in his front yard. A thunderclap scared one of my dogs so bad she peed in the bathroom. What a night.

New daily record high at SBN today. 86 breaks the old record of 84 set in 2008.

I haven't been very active here in the last month or two, focusing all my energy on following the White Sox playoff push. It's looking like picture-perfect weather for the Sox to clinch their first ALCS appearance in 21 years tomorrow. I'll be there today (and tomorrow, if necessary).

Firmly in the cone of uncertainty over here.

That's a lot moisture

Had a quick shower this afternoon. Big, fat raindrops for about five minutes. Helped make things steamy... not in the good way.

Idk guys. Real freaking nice today. Might be perfect.

Didn't realize how blessed I was yesterday

Trying to will the bow echo just far enough north to get the shelf cloud. What a run we're on.

Interesting. I would think a SVR Warning with 100 mph winds would be the message across, but maybe social science says otherwise.

Probably 50-60 mph gusts. Power flickered but stayed on. Couple small to medium size branches down.

This is my moment.

Well… then again…

Gonna be that miss south stank here. But just barely.

Had a nice hail storm this morning. Up 1/2” IMBY but many areas reported 1”.

Really cool seeing the outflow boundary from the storms to the south of me on radar and in person. side note: it feels so much nicer out here now lol

Look out Fort Wayne. Storms are lined up like a train.

Storms are firing a county or two south of me. And they’re probably going to stay down there most of the night.

Legit laughed out loud at that output. What do you mean an Illinois MCS won’t do a U-turn and move northwest and slam into another random MCS in Iowa?

Looks like something is trying or tried to spin up near Elgin.

Night of Twisters 2 being written in Illinois tonight.

Nice storm but nothing noteworthy. Got plenty of needed rain and good boomers.

Impressive-looking bowing segment just to my west. Some damage reports from this in Michigan City already.

The squall line looks good over the Lake. Starting to darken up here. Warnings already up just to my north for 60 mph winds. I think those 60 mph gusts will be isolated but I’m ready for a healthy storm.
