Roger Smith Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The gradual intensification of the upper level gradients now to 18z will probably justify a MDT or even HIGH risk warning for day 2 and the continuation of either ENH or HIGH overnight. This won't settle down at all, the complex in IN will move steadily through OH overnight with continued tornadoes of F-2 or even F-3, the frontal wave west of Chicago will ripple through s MI into sw ON with very strong storms (large hail and frequent lightning) and the squall line feature is now taking shape in western IL to se MO. That will intensify later tonight and become a high impact event for most of IN and OH towards morning in IN and morning to mid-day in OH. I also expect that the squall line will accelerate into the northeast and Mid-Atlantic states later Wednesday with widespread damaging wind gusts and local F-2 tornadic damage. Given the current intensity under 70-90 knot 500-mb winds, we can only imagine how this will respond to an increase overnight to 110-120 knots. At this point I think something like a major PDS statement for the entire region might be called for, as many (general public not present company) with some experience with tornado outbreaks might be thinking the peak has passed and in fact this could get worse overnight and peak tomorrow (again it could be argued) around OH-KY-TN.

Still hard to believe we are just about to turn the calendar to March. Did you end up chasing? I did, not the best chase in the world though. Left a bit late and had to play catch-up to the original tornadic supercell. Went through the core on I-39 near Troy Grove headed south. I planned on racing to get ahead of it on I-80, but ended up stuck in traffic between exits as it hit Ottawa. Finally got on Rte 6 in Ottawa and continued east trying to catch it. Did end up reaching it Morris, where I had a brief/rainy view of the bowl shaped funnel before it weakened and pushed ENE. Decided to drop southwest to make a play on the southern most tornadic storm near Washburn at the time. Finally met it near Ransom, but by that time rotation had weakened. Called it a night after...

Had to work till 4, and ran up after that tor warned cell coming out of Iowa near Clinton/Camanche. Was fairly disorganized when I got to it, although it actually had some decent inflow into it. Winds had backed quite nicely out ahead of it, and were actually southeasterly. After staying with it for a bit I could tell it was cooked. Was too far to get down to the good stuff in north-central IL. Was sure nice to get out though after a looooong (oh wait) winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
