Dang, beautiful. I saw that too as I was driving, I'm pretty sure that was the cell in the far left of the photo I posted, only about 35 minutes later. I was in Allen Park up on "the hill".

Yeah I got a distant lightning shot too, not the best shot but it was a bit away by nowpost-55-0-99101000-1433988966_thumb.jpg

Great shot.

Too bad we missed out on this afternoon, but tomorrow looks like it could potentially be interesting. I did get an awesome 45 minute long classic thunderstorm at the crack of dawn this morning at least, may have been the best storm of the year so far. Not that the bar has been set very high.

Tomorrow and Friday both look good, I don't think we escape both without a good storm.

Gteay shot stebo...and everyone else....i have some of the biggest knuckles i have ever seen in person on mamattus clouds overhead now....took some pics...will share in a bit

Lol, I got pics from a few different people in NW IN commenting about the clouds. I've seen pics of better ones in other places but these were some of the better ones I've seen somewhat close to home.

00z 4km NAM still lighting up the warm front tomorrow.  In Chicagoland, the frontal placement/effects of the lake should give an added boost to the thermal gradient.

Warm front should be interesting to watch tomorrow even as far east as SEMI. A lot of times warm fronts don't like to spark anything but when they do, a lot of it ends up being tornadic.

..GIANT HAIL RECORDED IN MINOOKA ON JUNE 10TH  

 

SEVERAL SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS ON  

WEDNESDAY JUNE 10TH. ONE OF THESE PASSED OVER MINOOKA ILLINOIS IN  

GRUNDY COUNTY BETWEEN 715 AND 725 PM AND PRODUCED ISOLATED GIANT  

HAIL OF UP TO OVER FOUR INCHES IN DIAMETER. THERE WERE MULTIPLE  

REPORTS OF HAIL TO 4.25 INCHES IN DIAMETER FROM THE PUBLIC. SOME  

OF THIS HAIL CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WINDSHIELDS.  

 

LOOKING AT LARGE HAIL DATA THROUGH THE STORM DATA EVENTS DATABASE  

FROM THE NOAA NATIONAL CLIMATIC DATA CENTER /NCDC/...INFORMATION  

WAS RETRIEVED THAT MAY HELP TO PUT HAIL THIS SIZE INTO  

PERSPECTIVE. RECORDS ON HAIL DATA DATE BACK TO 1950 BUT BECAME  

MORE DETAILED AND ROBUST BEGINNING IN THE MID TO LATE 1990S.  

ACCORDING TO THE DATABASE:  

 

- THIS WAS THE SECOND LARGEST HAIL IN NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL  

ILLINOIS. THE ONLY INSTANCE OF OBSERVED LARGER HAIL WAS ON APRIL  

23 1961...WHEN SIX INCH DIAMETER HAIL WAS REPORTED IN KANKAKEE  

COUNTY.  

 

- BESIDES THE 1961 INSTANCE NOTED ABOVE...THERE WAS ONE OTHER  

OCCASION IN THE NWS CHICAGO COUNTY WARNING AREA WHERE HAIL OF THIS  

LARGE IN DIAMETER WAS RECORDED...AND THAT WAS ON JUNE 14 2010 WHEN  

4.25 INCH DIAMETER HAIL OCCURRED IN BOSWELL OF BENTON COUNTY  

INDIANA.  

 

- THIS WAS THE LARGEST HAIL IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS SINCE APRIL  

28 2012...WHEN 4.5 INCH DIAMETER HAIL WAS REPORTED IN OKAWVILLE  

IN WASHINGTON COUNTY.  

 

- SINCE 2005...HAIL OF THIS LARGE IN DIAMETER IS REPORTED ABOUT  

35-40 TIMES A YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES. HOWEVER...ALMOST ALL OF  

THESE REPORTS ARE FROM THE PLAINS STATES.
