BowMeHunter Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Yeah, now it's the northeastern part of the line that's breaking up, at least per TWC radar. The stuff in Dodge heading into Washington will probably make a beeline for the MKE area, who knows how strong it will be by then though. wish that rain to the north was heading our way.. would suck to only get a glancing blow or the ground under tree's don't even get wet.. Last few days have been more frustrating than tracking snow.. That's severe weather for you tho right. Should be glad there was anything tonight even to track.

wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 TWC forecast, even as recently as an hour ago: a few passing clouds. Gotta love 'em. At least put in a 30 percent chance of showers or t'storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichweather Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 This still might blast MKE before it blows itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 This still might blast MKE before it blows itself out. It only needs to hold together about 45 minutes to an hour until it gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Previous warning just canceled. However, we'll still see some lightning and gusty winds from the weakening MCS, methinks. (Bow and I, that is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Now the heaviest portion of the storms might miss us west. Who'd have thought that with the weakening west edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I think I need to try to get some sleep now, even though I know I won't, especially with storms on the doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But.... after hearing all your complaints about being missed by storms stay up and watch the light show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to, but I'm golfing tomorrow morning even though I shouldn't so I need to get at least 6 hours or so of sleep I think. I normally like to golf but I had to be convinced to go tomorrow due to the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the worst location to watch a light show..blocked by darn houses and tall tree's Only show i get our the close call bolts.. I used to have fun recording those but now I like to get as far away from them as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to duck in my apartment sometimes it was raining so many CGs in downtown Davenport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just went outside and took a look to the west.. lots of lightning flashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Flash count is coming down, but LDS still says over 300 per 15 minutes. Yeah it was about as uneventful as it can get while still getting a little (15 mins of light rain and a few flashes) something.. Off to my sw did better.. can hear nice boomers and see flashes. Looks like the rain to the north will just miss us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuffs a good 15 or 20 miles to my south right now and its lighting up the sky with continuous flashes where i can see it real good here. Should be an excellent light show in waukegan coming looking north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
