2021 Atlantic Hurricane season
CheeselandSkies replied to StormchaserChuck!'s topic in Tropical Headquarters
It's called July. Edit: Make that July with a suppressive MJO for the Atlantic. -
Must have all moved south with the storms. Never noticed it particularly bad this year, until yesterday. We've had a long stretch of those red dot sunrises/sunsets, but at least the sky has been blue until then. Worst smoke haze I've ever seen is still May 20, 2019 in Oklahoma. I couldn't see the updraft tower/base of the Mangum supercell when it was less than 5 miles away.
-
Looks like it should be sunny but the sky is milky white. I think this is the worst I've seen it so far this year.
-
Business end of a pretty obvious embedded supercell missed me just to the southwest.
-
MKX confirms EF1 in Jefferson and EF0 in Waukesha County.
-
Reviewing our overnight coverage at work, there was a blatant TDS just southwest of Watertown around 1:05-1:10 AM. Event certainly did not bust on the whole, and in fact overachieved a bit vs. early day expectations in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, but I expected a denser concentration of wind reports further north (basically a solid blue NNW-SSE streak across WI) and more sig wind reports.
-
Was woken up by the sirens - there's one just outside our apartment building - just before 1 AM (or 1 hour 15 minutes before my alarm goes off). My fiancee and I never received WEAs on our phones because we were outside of the polygon, but when I pulled up Radarscope, what sure looked like a couplet was passing over Middleton just to our west.
-
Watch expanded to include parts of far SE MN/NE IA to account for cells developing in the Twin Cities area. Mention of hurricane force gusts possible in an area barely covered by the slight/marginal in the convective outlook. Grant/Crawford in WI also added. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1381.html
-
Surprised none of the warning texts have used enhanced/PDS wording or mentioned winds greater than 70 MPH yet.
-
Supercell over Waupaca is moving only 30 MPH (according to warning text) while bowing segment over Neillsville is moving 60 MPH!
-
Yikes...
-
If anything these storms appear to be getting more supercellular with time, especially the eastern one now over Iola/Scandinavia.
-
New tornado warning for the western side of the complex. Usually you expect severe events to start winding down after the sun sets. This one is just getting started.
-
Here we go! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1379.html Although, it's "Rusk" County...
-
Now tornado-warned.
-
May just be distance from the respective radar (but warning wording is also stronger on it, too) but the eastern cluster riding along and east of US 51/I-39 looks to be the more impressive right now.
-
SPC with little change at go time on the 01Z outlook.
-
I may have to eat my words here shortly with that Grantsburg cell, although of course it is in the worst of the radar hole equidistant from KDLH and KMPX.
-
Yeah, rather bizarre situation there. Just looking at the radar almost right off the bat, it seems things want to line/bow out pretty quick so looking like the longer-lived/strong (supercell) tornado threat won't really materialize. Not to say there couldn't be a stronger (EF2 or even 3, like that Chicago 'burbs one a few weeks ago) spin-up with an HP supercell embedded in the QLCS as it takes shape down the road.
-
Latest HRRR kills the western half of the complex and brings the most intense activity near/south of Green Bay, over LM and into the IN/OH/MI border region by Thursday morning.
-
Already what looks on radar like it could be an incipient supercell northwest of Wausau. Unwarned as of yet. Watch includes (as already noted) most of WI and all of my employer's market coverage area apart from Grant and Crawford.
-
MD expires in 12 minutes and no watch yet...
-
HRRR gradually trending toward bringing the western end of the MCS over the Madison area, although weakened from earlier, but of course it wants to bring the storms through right when I'll be commuting to work.
-
Now we're talking. Sun's back out here, after we were overcast for a time this afternoon.
