purduewx80 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 biking home from the loop to logan square was a joy. already some significant street flooding in the first 20 min of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Pretty cool radar loop. There's a cell that popped in southern Lake county Indiana that is moving almost due north just ahead of the line moving east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 side note: MCVs are my favorite meteorological phenomena because of situations like this. this one has had a surface reflection with it all day that was clearly aiming for chicago. interesting that CAPE was at a relative min over and adjacent to the city. doesn't take much when you have very localized lift.

Jonbo Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Unfortunate the severe aspect didn't come together as fast as was anticipated here. At least I got some decent pictures before it all shoved east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The latest NMM and ARW are still fairly bullish with strong convection re-developing over the next few hours. It also has a fairly good handle on the current activity. The NMM and ARW have been killing it the past few days (they handled yesterday's convection pretty well also).

What you described is exactly what happened in Detroit with the August 2014 flood. With that event, CAPE values never topped 500 J/KG and LIs were only around 0. Despite this, there were several lightning strikes and rumbles of thunder with the torrential rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Numerous flood advisories right now in DTX's and GRR's CWAs. EDIT: Good chance of there being more, at least in DTX's CWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Good to hear SE MI getting rain finally! I have to laugh at the fact that everyone but Wayne Coutny is now under a flood advisory. The monsoon continues, and radar trends suggests there's more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 For days it was looking like tonight we would have a raging MCS rolling through the corn belt with widespread high-end severe potential. Figured the morning garbage could put a dent in the main setup, but never thought it would totally destroy it completely. What a wussy little setup this turned out to be. Could end up being good news for the MI/IN/OH peeps, since a raging MCS tonight may have screwed up tomorrow's setup out east. EDIT: fix typos. Jesus I need to hire an editor lol.
