  1. When's the last time we had a legit fall tornado outbreak? The last few late-season outbreaks have been in December.
  2. I see the theory but in reality it doesn’t really matter this time of year. As long as we don’t stay 20 degrees below normal until winter… and the winter brings arctic blasts over the lake in Nov, Dec, Jan we are good. Locally our best lake effect events come in January, historically, as long as the lake isn’t frozen over. But that would be the result of a frigid December.
  3. Cranking the lake effect machine in late August. It’s gotta be a good sign for winter.
  4. To be fair, the drama this week has me reading everyone’s posts during an otherwise slow stretch of weather.
  5. The big cool down coming this weekend has me feeling some kind of way. I had a dream were getting a snowstorm this weekend. Boy, was I disappointed to wake up to 60 degrees and no WSW.
  6. Delayed report but we ended up with just under 4” of rain in 24 hours on Monday into Tuesday. Four separate thunderstorms made for a fun day.
  7. Watched two outflow boundaries collide just to my south on radar. Nice line of storms developed with, as @Jackstraw described, constant lightning.
  8. Des Plaines getting rocked too. Inch plus hail.
  9. Hearing from the gf’s dad that Crystal Lake got a good hit. 50+ mph winds.
  10. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a lightning strike so far away from the actual storm.
  11. If the MCS in Wisconsin can hold together that’s a classic Milwaukee to South Bend track. Some of the best storms in memory have taken that route.
  12. We've had just a trace of rain in August. But we should get at least a half-inch today.
  13. You're not enjoying tracking smoke every day?
  14. Ope Alek Ninja’d me by three hours
  15. Looks like another solid rain event for much of us tomorrow and into Thursday morning.
  16. 76 degrees with 100% humidity this morning. Swampy.
  17. Got some nice crackling thunder and heavy rain this morning. Quality summertime storm.
  18. While I was at work, I watched a big storm on radar go over my house. Lots of CG, too. I'm sure my dogs will tell me all about it when I get home.
  19. Decent heavy rain/flood potential starting tomorrow night through Saturday for Northern Illinois and Indiana.
  20. We're gonna have to put a NSFW tag on this thread.
  21. Ended up with just under 2.5 inches of rain. Five miles to my southeast got 5+ inches!
  22. Heavy rain has moved in. 20-25 mph gusts. Looks to be building back to the west and southwest. Should be our best soaking in a long time. It’s giving Tropical Depression.
  23. 68 degrees and overcast. A banner day. I'll be taking an extra-long walk this evening.
