The low-level clouds turboing by is just absolutely crazy

I'll be happy if we get some thunder later just not loving the late September vibes outside rn

Oh no the bermuda triangle death algae

Severe is one thing as it is, but I'm actually scared of flooding because the Saturday night or whatever storms that rolled through had my exhaust entirely submerged overnight, like the tips were at least two inches underwater as were the bottoms of my doors. Fortunately I still drive the tornado intercept shit box worth roughly the gas in its tank but my understanding is an outbreak miss south might mean more qpf up here, which may not work out great. Like half of my complex's parking lots were underwater because the storm drains were backing up. I saw the hydrological outlook or whatever and it was not too encouraging

They owe you huh

How we feeling about things out west chicago gang

And a third time... and fourth time... can pick out the same two or three car alarms over and over

Fuck load of car alarms just fell for it. I did too not gonna lie twice in 45 seconds now dude I thought it was kinda past already

Well I got what I wished for tbh can't complain from here Nice cold wind, pretty epic roll through overhead, let's do it again later

I'm hoping this is one of those times where it balls out just in time for me and not just before cuz it looks okay a county away right now

I am in favor of daylight visibility at the expense of overall wow (to a point) so I enjoy that some models pop a mid-afternoon line for tomorrow now. Obviously don't want that to end up dudding the whole day or shifting the crosshair for later by accident but if we could sneak a good hit in the afternoon and then another at night that would be baller. Not even to speak of getting another even better chance Thursday to my understanding

Enjoyed the gv today lets do it again tomorrow

Drought busted

Good bit of boom with em

"Trolling"

I can just feel my hopes of mid-70+ water temps at Warren Dunes before August slipping away. Makes raging over missing out on snow seem quite pathetic in comparison

Still holding out hope for at least a GV line moving through before dark

Pretty based that the timing actually looks okay for N IL to get a not nighttime show. Was tempering my expectations based on the SPC maps

Maybe I'm squinting at it too hard but it looks like the passage of the evening QLCS is bumping earlier instead of later, which I'd love to see it with even half a lux of sunlight left. Also: .UPDATE... Issued at 1015 AM CDT Fri Apr 17 2026 There is a trailing boundary extending south from ongoing convection across the Minneapolis area. This boundary may be an initial source for forcing as it spreads towards northern Illinois in the mid afternoon time frame. The airmass is still stable per the extensive area of billow clouds across Iowa, however we have noted a significant uptick in the dewpoints out ahead of this feature. Instability progs would suggest by the time this boundary arrives northern Illinois should destabilize, and thus there at least some concerns for a leading round of convection, which could be in the form of supercells with an all hazard threat. Some questions still exists as to whether this will just graze the local area or continue to push closer to the Chicago metro area. There is a shortwave across Missouri that also slide through the area ahead of the cold front which could be a mechanism to keep convection farther east, so this will be a mesoanalysis focus in the coming hours. Limiting factors for this first round convection having a larger footprint would be that the forcing is a bit more subtle, and we still have a fairly deep dry layer ahead of this boundary. Regardless of this, low level flow will reintensify ahead of the cold front which should help to keep instability up into the evening hours, where a damaging wind threat would be the highest concern, along with a QLCS tornado threat. Thoughts from the morning AFD still tell the story quite well. KMD

rockford more like rockedford

xtended looks warm + active too?

This is like after 20 minutes too fwiw

Easy inch plus here fucking never heard something like this before

Nice watch

This is fucking cool we do indeed need all four seasons
