cmichweather Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 LOT is just not getting good communication coordination tonight from emergency management, spotters, fire and police, etc. I would also have thought a tornado emergency would have been issued for Pontiac since a TOG was reported nw of there. they seemed delayed to the public.

SluggerWx Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm really struggling to understand why the cell between Clifton and Watseka isn't tornado warned. It's night time, and that cell looks like it could produce at any minute. Give people some warning here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 NWS Chicago says this could have been and be the big one .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...Tornado recently occurred in/near Pontiac per reports of powerflashes and tornadic damage signatures on radar and may still becontinuing as it moves southeast. Pontiac airport gusted to 59knots from the northeast as well indicative of the cycloniccirculation. This supercell storm remains discrete with favorableenvironmental parameters ahead of this storm. Reflectivity tagsare noted and as these translate this mesocyclone it appears totighten/strengthen. So some undulating in intensity could occurat this progresses east-southeast. Parameters remain in place fora significant strength tornado despite the time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
