Indystorm

Numerous reports of flooded roads across Muncie and Lynn IN. per LSRs.  And the moisture from Gordon hasn't really gotten up here yet.

Sorry you had the disagreement between yourself and the WCM, Butch.  I can only imagine how many circulations/tornadoes might have been missed in prior years when no cams were available.

Flash flood warnings out now for counties in east central IN this afternoon already.  Depending on training and where that front encounters Gordon's moisture this could be really significant in central parts of the Midwest.

Flood advisories already posted for areas just north and west of me from today's scattered rains.  Flood watch out for central IL, IN and MO.   I can only imagine what will happen when Gordon's moisture hits the front, wherever that may end up being in a couple days.

Flash flood watches out from western MI west through northern IL and IA to eastern Nebraska.  Storms starting to form that east/west training line.

Glad you had one of the best t storms of the year today, Cyclone.  They have been few and far between here in my neck of the woods in Central Indiana this year.

Good gust front/outflow on NWS Quad City composite loop radar near PIA area.

Look out Cyclone.  Tor warning just across the river from you in IA moving ne.  Radar confirmed near Grand Mound

That eastern IA line does look formidable.  Also concerned about discrete cells popping up ahead of it as shear and helicity move eastward into Illinois.  Derecho composite up to 8 and meso discussion out for strong winds for the next few hours from that line,.  Warning update for 80 mph gusts with that line near Iowa City eastward now.

Tornado warning for rotation now in south central WI where wind shear is 40/45.

Isolated stone size? I do not see any glass damage to any of those vehicles.

TV media showed busted out windshields from that storm.  Glad it didn't produce that hail when it was over my house before moving southeast.

Although not severe I have had torrential rain the past 15 minutes here after occasional elevated showers and t storms this morning.  Illinois sure looks interesting for this evening.

We actually had a nice, noisy garden variety t storm about 3 p.m. this afternoon.  I had forgotten what they looked like.  We'll see if enough instability mounts behind the warm front for anything else to fire later this evening.

Chinook, I had the pleasure of spending the past week at Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.  First time in Colorado since 1989.  Did not go through Fort Collins though.  Had great weather to drive Trail Ridge Road to lookouts with clear blue skies.  Glad I wasn't in Colorado Springs for that massive hailstorm though.

Jackson MS area for tor counts doesn't surprise me.  Denver/Boulder area does.

2-3 foot diameter trees down in the Paxton/Gibson City area.  But as storms move into Indiana CAPE is less so svr chances will probably lesson but storms could still pack a strong punch as higher dews move in from the west with the MCV.

Nice small line of svr storms this Sat. morning from Champaign north into Iroquois county moving east.  Maybe a LAF to Kokomo special midday before more serious chances arrive in central IL later today after peak heating.

I would assume summers were cooler during the Bard's time in England than what we currently see here in America.

From Manhattan Patch media

MANHATTAN, IL - A tornado touched down in Will County near Manhattan Tuesday evening. Reports on social media indicate it hit the ground in Wilton Center around 6:55 p.m. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for central Will County that has since expired.

Reports are that the tornado was headed in a northeast direction. Initial reports indicated the tornado was expected to be near Mokena around 7:10 p.m., Monee around 7:20 p.m. and Frankfort around 7:25 p.m.

Some in Manhattan have reported significant damage caused by the storm, including one case of windows shattering and at least one roof blowing off a home.

Take a look at eyewitnesses who shared their images of the tornado on Twitter.

I missed it initially too, Stebo.

Guess it was a pun on the misspelling of bear rather than near in the original post. I got worried for a second.

This is more long term, but the Euro has been pretty consistent in showing big cape over the corn belt/Midwest later next week.  The 6000J/kg max value on WxBell is exceeded in some cases.  

It's summer, so it's thermonuclear cap worry time.   But this year has really been strange and non traditional for wx in some respects.

Interesting line of storms now forming from Terre Haute north to Danville area to my west moving east.  One svr warned.  Had a torrential rain here from 6 to 6:20 this evening after light to moderate rain all day as the swirling band lifted to the north.

Some severe storms near Peoria, including a tor warning. 

Yep, may get some isolated svr this evening, but lapse rates are meager in our neck of the woods.  I think the greater threat the next few days will be heavy, possibly flooding rains in our region.
