geddyweather Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Honestly the most impressive signature I've seen so far today is east of Athens, Ohio currently. Edit: Strong couplet near Mexico, MO right now as well. Has a textbook hook with it. Making a bee-line toward Marietta. Yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homedis Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We have FULL sun here in Northbrook, IL. One thing I am really worried about is the fact that MANY people I know think that the storm that just passed NE IL was the severe storms they were predicting today and think the severe threat is over... not good!

Buckeye05 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Has a textbook hook with it. Making a bee-line toward Marietta. Yikes Couplet has occluded, but there appeared to be some debris there on CC for a few scans, maybe even a bit of a debris ball there on base reflectivity.

OHweather Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Honestly the most impressive signature I've seen so far today is east of Athens, Ohio currently. Edit: Strong couplet near Mexico, MO right now as well. Yes, that wrapped up rather quickly just to my south, and also had an impressive hail core. I knew there was weak rotation that would pass about 10 miles to my south but was too busy watching lightning and a shelf cloud move in to get in my car and go after it, and by the time it really started wrapping up it was too late to catch it. Oh well. Couplet has occluded, but there appeared to be some debris there on CC for a few scans, maybe even a bit of a debris ball there on base reflectivity. The low CC was in the inflow region so I'm not sure it was debris...but, the couplet and hook were impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Winds are weak and variable up this way right now. Little bit of outflow happening from that cell approaching Kenosha. Current sat image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My week just went from complete bust (0.04" of rain all week) to pretty good in 20 minutes. It appeared the strong storms were going to pass south of Cedar Rapids, but a thin line popped up on the northern edge and trained over my side of the city. I got three rounds of hail, mostly pea size but up to 0.75" diameter, my biggest in years. I also got the first cracks of thunder of the season as well as torrential rain (likely over 1"). There is now a flash flood warning for Cedar Rapids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castaway Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thinking the line west on the Iowa border should be knocking the door in mby around sunset. Between then and now will be interesting if any cells pop up and get going. Such as the one in Ottawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Cell that headed towards Racine crapped out once it hit the more stable air. Winds have turned northerly for the time being. That cell leaving Grant County WI looks healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think that as far as the Midwest goes the best helicity has been off to the north and the best lapse rates off to the south. We have our string of pearls as forecast but so far at least they have not been producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zestylabs Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I kinda like that cell between Davenport and Iowa City, but I go north and commit to it and it peters out i'll miss my play on any of the southern storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
