Hoosier Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Not to distract from the ongoing situation, but just wanted to mention that the fatality producing Ottawa tornado from earlier is historic for the LOT cwa. First time there's been a tornado fatality during meteorological winter in LOT's area (there was a tornado in Bureau/LaSalle counties on Dec 6 1951 with one fatality occurring in Bureau county, just west of the LaSalle county line), which also means it's the earliest tornado fatality for a calendar year.

Getting my first t storm of the system here now. In for a very long night I think. Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 923 PM CST Tue Feb 28 2017 .MESOSCALE DISCUSSION... 922 PM CST Storms are increasing in intensity from south of Dixon through Quincy in western Illinois, which are located in a favorable area of low-level moisture convergence ahead of the cold front. Radar data from DVN indicates an MCV structure moving into Bureau County with a potential wind and tornado threat trying to develop at its leading edge. These storms and those developing to the southwest will move into LaSalle County near 945 pm and are likely to increase in forward propagation. The Lacon, IL observation has turned back around to the southwest and gusting, with temperatures rebounding back to 63 degrees, a sign the effective boundary is shifting further north and overcoming some of the earlier cold pool activity. A wind and QLCS tornado threat will exist with this activity. To the immediate north of this path, toward I-88 and likely into the heart of Chicago, a mainly elevated hail threat will exist...though will need to watch if this MCV moves north of east and could bring a surface based wind threat further north. As noted in a recent SPC mesoscale discussion, a new tornado watch will be need for along and south of the I-80 corridor. With some uncertainties on whether the boundary will move a little northward further east, will likely have a tornado watch encompass the I-88 corridor too.
