Some marginal tornado chances around here tomorrow likely. I don't think the atmosphere will recover after the lunch time event enough for the evening to be rocking but if it does, we may require an ENH risk

And that’s why I am not a professional. LOT posted a loop of the radar and had they not circled the CC drop, I would have been damn near unable to pick it out from the noise.

It was extremely faint, like finding a satellite on starry night

Confirmed tornado in Glen Ellyn

That’s shocking. Not much rotation on radar

I've been in the landscaping business my whole life. Was cutting lawns 10 hours a day at 12 for my Dad's business. Oddly, I ilke the look of your lawn.

That’s a meadow not a lawn 

Shame we’re seeing sunset put a lid on this. Shear and instability is pretty high at the moment for those storms along the Toll Road

This was over 15 mins looking north.

And then after the storms 

 

Imagine seeing that as a pilot

My view of the storm from where I’m at. Hella tall 

For sure! I can clearly see it from the river here by Perrysburg, OH

If I was not in Lima I’d be going after it. Would have blasted down 275 to get ahead of it

Starting to fizzle as it hits the lake. Definitely gonna see some hail reports

Hell of a structure on that cell outside of Monroe

SPC saying the segment in St Joseph County MI could be the next to produce if it taps into the LLJ

My understatement of the year is that I really did not expect confirmed tornadoes in the Chicago metro today.

Environment is pretty damn good off to the east of there. Could see some legit supercells once they get into the better instability of South Bend

Tonight could get interesting in the region for sure. Pretty damn good instability and SRH building

Not sure where to put this but a quick question for Ohio folks. I might have a work assignment down in Findlay Ohio where I might have an extended stay what’s around that area in terms of things to do or cool spots to go to?

Findlay Brewing Co is an awesome spot. Some solid golf courses around the area as well. Definitely a weird town in that it’s in the middle of nowhere, but is home to one of the largest companies in the world

GRR with a little bit of sarcasm/humor in their afternoon AFD.

Smoke continues to linger across parts of West Michigan, though some
improvement has been noted over central Lower Michigan the past few
hours. As ridge of high pressure moves east of the area tonight,
winds will becomes SE, and this should prevent the somewhat more
pristine air to the north from advancing significantly farther south
through lower Michigan, and as a result forecast will continue to
include areas of smoke through Thursday.

Visibility in Toledo hanging around 1 mile

Way too much CIN for this bottle rocket to take off today

I always wished to be able to do this- take a pic of a great storm cell from a jet. I haven't flown across the country in the spring/summer very much. I did see a MCS/anvil with a storm one time, from about 10 miles+, in a jet.

 

The turbulence off them is never fun though 

Visibility below 2 miles now 

Wow, thickest smoke I’ve ever seen

Solid hit here but you can tell the environment just didn’t align today. It looked like we had a small moment of 60 mph winds but other than that nothing too bad

I will say down in Southern IN the dynamics are overlaying each other far better than up this way. The best shear and helicity is behind the line making its way thru Michigan and Ohio right now

The early morning rain looks to be exiting a couple hours ahead of schedule across northern Indiana and southern MI

Solid rains today with that low spinning around here. Needed for sure

Meanwhile the Akron CO cyclic supercell from earlier is the storm of the year and perhaps decade so far in terms of photogenic tornadoes. Unbelievable video.

Amazing to see. I think as well it's good for people to see just how volatile a mesocyclone is, especially a violent one like this. Too many people want to "zero meter" anymore and this is why a safe distance & precip free view is so key
