cyclone77 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hoping that boundary in eastern Iowa can ignite before it passes through here later this afternoon. Some feisty looking cumulus are boiling along the boundary right now. Decent instability in place, but bulk shear is terrible. Still could get some gusty storms from whatever pops from that. Up to 88 now, with a dew still hovering around 70. EDIT: Up to 90 now, MLI at 91. Surprisingly warm day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 82/68 here with partly cloudy skies. Hoping that line of storms beginning to form in WI can edge its way se for this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Up to 82°, but with a lake breeze front not far away. 77° at the lakeshore. Nice to see storms firing in WI already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I-57 corridor south through IL is the heart of the slight svr prospect for this evening. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 If night time lows can hang into the 50Fs..i'm good. I'd love to put the AC to bed, but not so sure about that quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 So much for a storm today. Front passed through quietly. Chicago area may get in on some action again though. Made it to 91 here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 storms starting to pop around I-39 north and south of Rockford, moving ESE. Almost full sun here most of the afternoon which has really heated things up. 87F right now imby. Would be nice to see a line form like Friday, but conditions don't appear to be favorable for anything but scattered storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 84° for the high today. Dewpoint has shot up ahead of the front. 68 Storm north of MKE starting to turn right (SSE). Should be able to keep the AC off all week starting tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Eh, even this week looks to be average temps at best, maybe a tad above. Amazing how difficult it is to get an air mass that is 15-20F below normal, but it is so easy to torch 15-20F above. As much as I don't like it, shows how the trend around here in recent years is warmth. Thank the EPA clean air act for that.... Can't get lows like the 1970's without all the aerosols blocking sunlight. The 1970's were colder than the late 1800's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I assume this would be a landspout. Didn't think we had the shear for a true mesocyclone in northern IL but it is confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na...It's a legit mini-supercell structure. Nice over-shooting tops on vis sat. Also locally backed winds in the area. It's making the most of the given environment.

Geos Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Nice tor picture! Getting quite dark here with C-C lightning visible. Chitown- COD radar suggests line is making a shift more eastward. Not as exciting as a tornado, but managed to snap a colorful backside of a tower a little while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Nice pics. My sky looks quite similar right now Huronicane. Geos, for a minute it looked like the intensity was shifting westward but maybe not. Good luck. Looks like my tornado siren under sunny skies is all I'm getting out of this.

I bet that confused some people! I'll definitely catch part of this storm. It went from twilight to pitch dark in about 10 minutes here! Couple miles to go.
