never change.

And over-performing at that. Seeing some OBS with 50-55MPH wind gusts scattered across the state this afternoon, including at MDW. It had looked like a 35-45MPH peak type of deal previously.
-
getting mini trained here early this morning. love to see it.
-
counterpoint: it’s not.
-
Peak wind gust of 47MPH at ORD with the round of high winds this past Friday. Peak wind gust of 49MPH at ORD with the round of high winds yesterday.

Nice MCS/QLCS structure moving through the metro area. 0.25" hail very briefly here at ORD. Peak wind gust unknown, as the sensor went down, but it was 40MPH+. Back home, I caught 0.50" hail on the yard cam.
-
Agree on both accounts. It seems that the only likely tornado just happened to be one that was unwarned and that no one saw (Delavan).
-
Gustnado yet again.
-
TDS near Delavan...unwarned.
-
Unfortunately. Even when Spotter Network was a way of reporting to the NWS (It's not anymore, no integration), it was a shit-show. Remember back to a year to two ago, when a massive wedge was reported to be ongoing in Arkansas via SN. Radar was not supportive, but LZK still put out a warning and confirmed it.
-
Yea, spreads closer to 20F now. Also, a lot of cold outflow reports, which radar backs up. (Not overly surprising given the background setup)
-
Because not-so great chasers reported it, thus they confirmed it. Then on the other end, more reputable chasers are on socials right now saying, wut?
-
Gustnado based on video. Some chasers need to realize that not every twisting dust/dirt whirl is a tornado.
-
that picture is sick af.
-
Seems as if that confirmed one may not have been a reality. Numerous chasers in the area reported nothing.
-
Bad job across the board, really. This time yesterday, pretty much all guidance had the warm front north of here. Classic I-80 early spring warm front scenario.
-
It's just that convection has continuously curled into the cold sector. Very dynamic storm system overall.
