wisconsinwx Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Can see a pretty sweet shelf cloud here.. Yeah, unfortunately I'm at work but I could see some pretty dark gray clouds, and lighter skies on the western horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 the RAP wants to bring up 4000 j/kg of MLCAPE into northern IL by 22-0z Too bad that's not going to happen. Would have been nice, especially with the less active period we're heading into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 nice striations on those pictures Yeah that's something you don't always see. Picked up 1.12" of rain. More cells popping up all over N IL/S WI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Too bad that's not going to happen. Would have been nice, especially with the less active period we're heading into. the RAP has been pretty terrible lately. Anyways, there's a decent feed and it looks like we'll continue to fire off convection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I am hopeful the outflow boundary from the convection now in the Chi town area will be the focus for renewed development and shear for central Illinois to tap into those wonderfully impressive CAPE values.

cyclone77 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Pretty sad when you have decent cells popping up 30 miles away and you're too burnt out to go after them lol. New storms have showed weak rotation so far, but wouldn't be surprised to see them get more organized and put down a few tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Svr storm watch issued till 9 p.m. central with possibly enhanced threat for tornadoes near the wf boundary because of better shear. Will definitely have to be watched. I like the timing on today's set up and the fact that we have a much broader and deeper warm sector with more geographically extensive higher dews to work with than we had with the narrow tongue in ne Nebraska yesterday.

Geos Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 had a whip cracker CG earlier when i was watchin' from the garage...vape trail...too close for the rumble... rumbles building again That's close! Storm along the border just grazed through here. About a mile up the road got into it better. Pretty impressive lightning though. Doesn't seem quite right, thunderstorms and low 50s!

Doesn't seem quite right, thunderstorms and low 50s! That's what I've been thinking all along--some of these storms have been great--but the weather doesn't make sense--low 50's...really cold..yet good booms for my 2 year old to enjoy.

McDude Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 One just blew up right over Romeoville. Going to pass me just to the south. Had some of the loudest thunder I ever heard. Sounded like someone lit an M-80 on my front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
