Kind of wondering if this setup is going to over-convect. Several models are showing a line of supercells. May be too much storm competition for a widespread tornado setup. Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

Main action likely to miss east and especially south of here. Should get a nice non severe MCS in the morning though.

49 here this morning.

Yep. Might as well head towards Pontiac to Kankakee and camp out there until the event lol.

Multiple models are showing a large MCS traversing Iowa again the morning of the event. Will be interesting to see how the evolution of that affects the development later in the day. Very impressed by the synoptics of this. Powerful upper jet knifing in with very impressive shear profiles over a wide area on the nose of that.

0.17" overnight. Nice swath of 1-1.5" about 15 miles south of here. Up to 4.20" for June.

1.41" rain here today, which bumps us to 4.03 for June.

Just had a legit meso pass right over about 10 mins ago. Really thought it might plant right there. Serious rippage with nice downward motion on the back side. Couplet is now over Lyndon. Thing is hauling ass northeast.

First round quickly converted over to anvil rain on approach. Let's see what round 2 does.

Very surprised that there's still not a moderate risk area. Today definitely looks to have widespread severe. Already many 70-80mph wind reports out west with the incoming MCS.

DVN gusted to 69mph earlier, MLI hit 55mph. The Kirksville area of northern/northeast MO is really getting trained this evening. Gonna be some huge totals overnight if that remains stalled out east/west through that area.

Poor Patrick Ewing had to deal with the Bulls during his whole career lol.

This thing moved in very quickly. Temps dropped into the 60s here, so this thing is probably developing a cold pool. Had a nice burst of 50mph winds and continuous lightning.

Reverse jinx worked here too. Thanks @Chicago Storm!

Perfect skip over job here and the IL QC. Next round likely to stay south. Guess we'll see what happens with tomorrow's round.
