Is that for Sandy? Good Lord. 

Impressive couplet for this region 

Some embedded rotation in the line, though the environment ahead of it is somewhat worked over.

Looks like city east will get nothing. Sea breeze shield up today

It'll be hard for the line to miss the city at this point 

NAM (both regular and hi res) have another soaker tomorrow for the city (though aerial coverage isn't as extensive as today). 

Just crossed an inch with some pretty heavy rain about to move in. Hopefully the line from New Brunswick to Trenton beefs up again, it really shrunk in aerial coverage. 

For the city proper, it looks like Brooklyn will be the big winner for now. Cells keep developing to their SW and training over the same area. 

0.73" so far and looks like some small training cells setting up for the eastern part of SI and western part of Brooklyn. 

Quick .33" here, had some rain overnight as well. Still relatively dry here overall, less than 4 inches since June 1st. 

Pretty strong signature between Oak Park and the city proper.

What do I got to do to get a tor over the apartment 

Cancel your renters insurance 

Probably a waterspout in Lake Michigan, looks impressive from all radar sites. 

Confirmed tornado near O'Hare

Looks like the TORD radar may have failed. Hasn't updated for 12 minutes. 

That explains a lot.

TORD

The PDS warning seems to be for the area of rotation further NE though, near Stickney.

Confirmed tornado in Kane county as well

On and off TDS with that one. For the Chicago cell, it's in a really terrible radar spot and I wonder if that PDS warning is justified. 

PDS warning now with the cell SW of Chicago. Looks beastly.

First TW'd storm just south of Aurora, though the couplet doesn't look overly impressive at the moment.

But again, SST'S are the  least  important factor and  mean absolutely  nothing with hostile  upper  levels.

While true, SST's are generally less transient than the upper level patterns. Should the upper level patterns become more favorable down the line (or even a narrow window and/or area of favorable upper level conditions) the OHC would be more supportive than usual. 

Somehow made it to an inch and still raining fairly heavily (though the backend is fast approaching)

Some storms are starting to pop further east. I'm in New Brunswick and definitely hear some thunder nearby.

12.07” since 6/12

That's impressive. I've had 2.37" in the same timeframe.

Mod risk coming for S KS and N OK in 1630z OTLK for wind - which means it's 45 and sig

It's tiny in aerial coverage 

That southernmost cell is really going to town now.

It was just tornado warned. 

Tightening couplet south of Center Point as well. Looks like storms are moving into a better environment now.
