Storm near Kirkland is the only halfway decent thing out there at the moment. So very broad rotation but nothing noteworthy

Yeah nothing looking to impressive or explosive yet

It did, right as things are starting to pop over there

Clearing here in Sycamore as well. Had some junk showers pop overhead as the front approached/moved through

If something rides the warm front, it could get nasty.

LOT afternoon update is spicy. Over the next few hours, explosive thunderstorm development appears likely near the Mississippi River with the favorable thermodynamic and kinematic parameter space supporting a quick evolution into several supercells. Damaging winds and hail are likely with any storm. Perhaps more concerning, Bunker`s right storm motion along the warm front will provide unusually long residence times within the high-magnitude low-level SRH environment, supporting an unusually high threat for episodic strong tornadoes (EF2+) for our local area

SPC going to drop a tor watch across N IL according to the meso discussion. Also added a little pocket of enhanced risk over N IL

Going to be hard for us to split the gap on this one. Going to be a solid soaker.

MCS seems to be maintaining well. Probably no dice for any severe in N IL today

Only 1.44" over the past few weeks out here. Still got some pretty deep soil moisture deficits

Storms popping behind that lake front.

Fucking split the uprights. When it’s not your year, it’s not your year.

Hacked a large amount of the slight risk out of the D1 outlook. Only remaining slight in our sub is over the Chi metro.

Just got back from Vegas with their 110s+… they can keep it

Peoria better keep their head on a swivel with the current track

Storms seem to be pushing a bit further NE than depicted by the HRRR

Just to rehash this slightly… because I am buzzed and annoyed. What threshold is the IEPA looking for? A large portion of Illinois had the worst air quality on the fucking planet today. If this isn’t a slam dunk, I don’t know what is.

Rocking 244 right now. Short of the house next door burning down, not sure it gets much worse than this.

Well considering they were all straight dogshit last winter, it cannot be a bad thing.

Yep, 90 degree with some ozone and you better shout it from the rooftops. Smoke so thick its blocking the sun? Nah. Leave it to IL government to fuck up something so simple.

That cell near Plymouth looks like its wants to go. Was it the t warned one earlier?

Got nearly an inch overnight. Not going to do much for drought improvement, but should keep us from getting worse on the monitor this week

Yep, mid-80s with low dews for weeks on end. Been glorious. Going to Vegas next week where I should see a stretch of triple digits.

Been burned riding it at least twice in the last few weeks. Drought gonna dought
