first cap bust of the season around here. hate to see it.

Looks like the airport was RFD'd, with the couplet having moved just a hair north.

The Madison area was murdered by hail.

initiation in IA. spc gonna wait till they are tor-ing to issue a watch?

it's a sup day, even around here.

They should. The ENH also needs to be greatly expanded as well, as that secondary zone of interest further south ( C IL) is gaining steam.

the spc has 50 million types of hatching now, but somehow still couldn’t figure out how to put one across the area for hail today.

for the winter folks...

It was mostly advection driven destabilization.

i'll say, for someone who used to work outdoors, this would have been chalked up a good spring in my books.

it's giving it a go as it approaches you.

we’re not in the game.

Justtt missed the 10th warmest and 10th wettest March on record in Chicago.
