June 29th - July 4th Severe Weather Threat

If that is for Waukegen then yeah that is pretty obvious as to what that is... and there was a fairly good couplet at the time. The question is, whether or not this is on shore or off shore there. Based upon the locations of the boats in relation to the google maps imagery of Waukegen Harbor, this would probably be more NNE and close to shore but probably on land.

The couplet was several miles offshore.

This would have been associated with the RFD.

Quite possibly.

Could have even been just dirt/debris being blown southward by the strong RFD.

Add in that Waukegan Harbor gusted to 94mph too.

A wider view pic would have helped in this case.

There was a waterspout that was reported E of Zion with that storm, this might be the waterspout that could have skimmed the shoreline as it trekked SSW.

I don't remember it being several miles off shore, maybe 4-5 at most at the point at which it was passing Waukegen.

4-5 miles is a long way off though relatively speaking. Either way the picture really doesn't reveal much. It's hard to tell whether that's blowing dust or actual condensation due to the lack of picture quality/distortion.

Yeah I removed my post after going through the radar briefing link that someone posted, for whatever reason I thought it was closer but it wasn't.

new day 1 outlook mentions beefier probs possible

RELATIVE CONCENTRATION OF CONVECTION NEAR FRONT DURING MID-LATE AFTERNOON...COMBINED WITH AREAS OF STG TO EXTREME INSTABILITY...MAY FOCUS AOA 30% CONCENTRATION OF SVR WIND OR HAIL POTENTIAL. HOWEVER...COVERAGE/TIMNG UNCERTAINTY PRECLUDES SUCH CORRIDOR OF PROBABILITIES ATTM.

Maybe he had his 2nd grade kid call/type in the report?

These are reports he sent in? I don't think :facepalm: is strong enough to convey my feelings.

We have some friends who apparently were doing a fishing charter and did make it back in to Waukegan before this all hit. They took cover in the basement of one of the marinas. I don't know if this was their location. They lost the windshield on their boat and said there were several flipped sailboat.

I'd say those high 75+ straight lines would have no issue doing all of that. I sent them the link to the pic and will see how they comment.

Convective debris from the storms in Ontario is expanding westward, overtaking the sun momentarily.

I'm assuming you're in Eastern Wayne county?

I'm on the western fringe, and it's been either full sunshine or filtered sunshine most of the morning. :)
