    Found the NOAA one. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/goes/sector.php?sat=G16&sector=umv

    Tropical Tidbits has a CONUS visible loop. I can't zoom in on the Midwest region but you can see some clearing nosing into NW IL. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=us&product=vis_swir

    COD visible loop is stuck at 15:16Z (10:16 AM CDT) for some reason, anyone have another good source for satellite? ...at first I thought that recovery wasn't gonna happen.

    This is what I meant with my (partially) tounge-in-cheek observation; that predictability of severe weather in the summer is such that even as recently as the overnight hours, today was looking like a wash for severe potential north of I-80 in IL. The flip side of this of course, is that it makes it near impossible to plan chases/take PTO in advance. For me, it's local enough that I can head out with my 3A-noon shift.

    Hmmm...

    That front part of the main echo northwest of the Quad Cities almost looks like a huge supercell with debris ball...almost.

    Looks like some stuff is pushing into at least southwest WI after all...we'll see how well it holds together.

    Enhanced risk upgrade for wind with the Iowa MCS, looks like a miss south again for I-80 and north.

    Models yesterday showing rain/storms over southern WI this morning were completely wrong. The sun's out.
  10. CheeselandSkies
    At least it looks good for rain and thunder tomorrow morning. If this MCS were better-timed we'd have greater severe chances, but we'll take what we can get at this point. Pinning my hopes on the general level of predictability for severe weather in the summer...

    Pretty weak north of wherever the second MCS on Wednesday tracks, which as @hawkeye_wx alluded to in another thread, will probably be further south than most of us would like. Sadly, just the fact that there's a pretty good chance for thunder is better than we've done for most of this year. Edit: NAM now has even the first MCS going south of the state line Wednesday morning.
  12. CheeselandSkies
    Yup. Google Street View shows it was there by July of 2018.

    Caught a twilight glimpse of the Trivoli EF2 from the Casey's gas station on the west edge of Hanna City that day. I wanted to stay put and shoot it, or even drive a little north up IL-78 to try and get around the tree line, but my chase partner at the time (who was driving) freaked out a bit and wanted to keep driving east to stay ahead of it. So we let it go in the darkness and never did see it again.

    Yeah. GFS has pretty strong WNW 500mb flow for the time of year over us next Tuesday/Wednesday, but suggests instability will be lacking. Despite being a career chase for me, March 31 is too damn early for our season to start and finish.

    Actually looking like we might get more rain than expected late this afternoon and tonight... Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk

    Severe thunderstorm warning for a little pop-up hailer. Timed just perfectly to pour on my 10-minute commute home from work. We'll take what we can get, but these teensy popcorn things ain't gonna make a dent in this drought.
  17. CheeselandSkies
    SPC has much of WI highlighted in the Day 4 outlook. They're the professionals, but I'm not really seeing it. NAM/GFS soundings for Wednesday look pretty mediocre. Could be some isolated wind/hail but not worthy of a Day 4 areal highlight IMO.
  18. CheeselandSkies
    Yeah. I thought that was only ever gonna be an issue when trying to chase the Plains with Mexican fire smoke blowing in. 5/20/2019, the updraft base of the supercell that was about to produce the Mangum, OK EF2 crossed US 62 1-2 miles west of me and I couldn't make out any structure whatsoever. Thus I waited too long to move, got caught in the chaser conga line and never did see the tornado.
  19. CheeselandSkies
    Still bone @$$ dry in southern WI. Lawns that are not being constantly watered have been brown for several weeks.
  20. CheeselandSkies
    Speaking of the devil, random tornado warning for Bureau County, IL. Even if anything were to happen, it'd be totally rain-wrapped.
  21. CheeselandSkies
    It'll probably happen when we're short-staffed where I work and I can't take any PTO.
  22. CheeselandSkies
    I just don't understand how northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin can get a significant severe weather event at the end of March, and then can't buy one for all of May and June.
