aurora Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Bump that boundary further north please! We'll get our shot sometime in the next several days. Wouldn't be too surprised if the boundary hangs south for a bit longer than is currently modeled, as serial MCS's always seem to have that effect.

buckeye Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 500k still no power in ohio.....about 135k in franklin county alone. Much like the Ike windstorm in 2009, they are saying some could go 5-7 days without. With utility crews spread thin all throughout the midatlantic as well as midwest, and the possibility of additional similar severe wx... Ugh...imagine no power and upper 90's.

IWXwx Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Bump that boundary further north please! It looks to remain over Indiana for at least today and tomorrow, possibly getting pushed up your way by Monday-Tuesday. It will then be your turn for wind damage, power outages and the resulting increase in baby powder sales due to lack of AC. I know that we have to put up with this type of weather in this part of the country, but I'd take a good ol' supercell anyday over a derecho.

A-L-E-K Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 surprisingly quiet across the ridge this morning...the whole region will become extremely unstable...wonder if we'll see a decent trigger. (clearly not talking imby but area wide) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(clearly not talking imby but area wide) AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 1135 AM CDT SAT JUN 30 2012 .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... 1131 AM CDT FORECAST CHALLENGES CONTINUE WITH SHOWER/THUNDERSTORMS TRENDS THROUGH MID DAY AS WELL AS INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE MADE SOME MINOR EDITS TO POP/WX AND CLOUD COVER GRIDS IN THE NEAR TERM TO REFLECT LATEST TRENDS AS WELL AS A DECENT CHANCE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY IS SHOWING AN AREA OF SHOWERS WITH SOME ISOLATED THUNDER WITH IT CURRENTLY MOVING EAST SOUTHEAST FROM AN AREA FROM SOUTHERN LA SALLE COUNTY SOUTHEAST TO IROQUOIS COUNTY IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THIS IS WEAKLY FORCED AND ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK MID LEVEL WAVE SHIFTING THROUGH THE REGION. EXPECT THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE THROUGH THIS GENERAL AREA THROUGH MID DAY...BUT WITH NO SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS DURING THIS TIME. CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS FOR POSSIBLE REDEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING AS A MID LEVEL FEATURE NOTED ON LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY TO THE NORTHWEST ONCE AGAIN DROPS SOUTHEAST AND ENCOUNTERS A LINGERING BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. FORCING ALONG WITH STRONG HEATING AND MORE THAN SUFFICIENT MOISTURE PROVIDING A STRONGLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT SHOULD ALLOW FOR DEVELOPMENT ALONG THIS FRONT BY THIS AFTERNOON. STEEP LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND THIS ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING THE POSSIBILITY OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING EXPECTED FOR AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. Looks like we will, and more in my neck of the woods today Btw, I got some AMAZING shelf cloud pictures in Sterling, IL last night which I will post when I get them uploaded.

Geos Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Found this event quite interesting that JB posted a link to. The July 21st, 2003 MCS that had an eye with it! http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/research/roth/landcane.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This *may* have been the deadliest derecho in US history, or at least modern US history. I can't find an event with more than 8 fatalities (Aug 16, 1997). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It sure does look primed for Northern IL and IN per NAM and GFS both for tomorrow afternoon and evening. Today was a breather to recharge. Then action should move northward and make some of our WI and MI friends happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 IWX has a good descriptive analysis of the June 29 derecho on their homepage. Shall we wash, rinse, and repeat on Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I don't think we'll see a situation with a well organized complex like that feeding into widespread 5000+ sbcape in a long time. tomorrow still looks rocking though EDIT: some good posts back on page from the early stages....HRRR did well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Saw that there have been 12 fatalities from yesterday's derecho. Really could have been much much worse especially in my area. As i mentioned yesterday or at least i think i did, there was going to be an event at Wright Patt AFB called Tattoo and around 80,000 people were estimated to be there. Due to the timing of the storm, the organizers were able to tell everyone to stay at home so we could avoid a repeat of what happened in Indy last year. Good thing too because it was a mess after all was said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not gonna repost it since the one above updates automatically, but we've hit the 1000 storm reports mark (unfiltered) wind reports are 984/36 (reports/sig. severe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye05 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Another really bad Derecho of recent times that pops into my head was the April 4-5 2011 Derecho, with 9 fatalities. This one was worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Broad slight risk for now. The NMM likes northern IL around and after 0z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Decent amount of non-severe activity along the kinda sorta retreating warm front...thinking there is a good chance it will be just enough to help hold the favored track for this evenings action just south of my area...looks like another I80 special.
