Great point you bring up there. Wouldn't hate some LES hits and possible svr chances (depending on how warm the warmth surges are) this winter

Honestly at this stage in my life I really do enjoy more urban areas. My go would be in NYC area, not quite the city but close enough.

Any chance you see this getting upgraded to perfect? :0

Real close presentation to how it actually played out albeit 50 or so miles more southward.

Curious to know if you saw anything of note!

Destructive severe warning now for a lot of metro just along 88 and south

Tornado warning up now for portions of Kane, Will and DuPage counties

Doubt it verifies verbatim but 18z HRRR sniffing out some max wind gusts of 100 mph in DuPage co. with the midday complex tomorrow. Taking it with a grain of salt but thinking we'll see some 80+ gusts if consistency continues.

Day 2 Enhanced introduced. The way it is outlooked, has the making of a long term wind event, possible derecho.

After yesterday's surprise uptick, figured creating a thread might be good for what models have really highlighted-- consistently-- as being the most active stretch, is warranted.

Ready 2 be buried...in stratiform rain puddles

Currently got the line in central wisconsin going straight south toward Chicagoland. May not be out of the woods just yet

Lighting up

From Mike Caplan Chicago Meteorologist: This is incredible. AQI of 549 in downtown Chicago at 1pm
