Geos Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Southern part of the line moving more northeast then the rest of the complex. ... To those that mentioned the frequent lightning - no doubt about that. It's already lightning here. Edit: This complex looks similar in structure then the one that moved through central IL and SW IN the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfSpider Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The storm just went through my area. There was nothing impressive and the winds probably maxed out at 35 mph. I'm glad that it's finally raining though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Gusted to 50mph+ here. Main winds were ahead of the rain, so there was quite a bit of blowing dirt/dust/small debris given the dry conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Looks like some cells trying to pop up on the lake breeze front a few miles west of here. (or maybe just new, basic development) Lightning and thunder getting closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertSul Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Had pretty significant winds in the cell that went through Canton, MI. I'd estimate wind gusts were about 45+ mph, and the rains were torrential, causing some minor street flooding here. Still wondering whether that bow echo will make it up here?
