@A-L-E-K How is it

Looks pretty good out there over the layke atm

Moved east almost to the border of cook and dupage. Obv still not near ground zero but it would be cool to get in on something. Maybe if round 1 does okay this far inland and then the band drifting down from the WI border also makes it to us for a bit, we could get the ground full white for the afternoon. Congrats Alek/downtown gang, mclovin it for you

With how the tools available to the most amateur precip output model watchers have improved the last few years, it would be great to get to actually track something worthwhile again

Finally someone throws a fucking bone around here thank you

Kind of thankful to get a chance to do it again because I'm not exaggerating when I say my backyard got split by probably less than a couple kilometers both east and west.

Looks like a decent hit incoming

Dude wow that's beautiful

I was kind of salty about having to mow the lawn after it rains all afternoon but hoo boy does it feel fucking way better out there now

That's crazy bro I was literally pulling up here to post how I'm in Glendale Heights and will therefore be missing the very first direct bullseye of MBY so far this year. Hopefully @Chicago Storm comes through with the shelf pics later

Got some ok boomer energy going on this morning at least but

Sigma model

From the last mesoscale discussion: "In the presence of 20-30 kt west-southwesterly mean ambient flow, moderately strong easterly updraft inflow of seasonably moist air characterized by CAPE in excess of 1500 J/kg seems likely to maintain current convective intensities at least to the the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan. As long as this continues, westerly rear inflow probably will remain sufficiently strong to contribute to strong to severe surface gusts in downdrafts." Guess we'll see about that lmao

Looks like maybe we'll get some drought mitigation the next day or two after all?

Planning to go back to Warren Dunes on the 5th. Was there for the first time this year on the very first day of this recent heat wave. It was already pretty decent. Since then, water temps have risen an additional like 7 degrees.
