Just lots and lots of scud. Had many photos/videos sent in to the newsroom, too. Again, scud for days. At least there was something visual with the Whitley tor warning today. The Steuben one just simply didn't produce anything interesting. Not even a cool cloud formation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Keeping an eye on potential for more flash flooding around southern WI today after some localized areas were hit hard on Friday. Severe hopes aren't high but we did get put back into the marginal risk on the 13Z.Day 4-8 hints at increasing chances by Friday into next weekend.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We actually had a nice, noisy garden variety t storm about 3 p.m. this afternoon. I had forgotten what they looked like.

CheeselandSkies Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Major flash flooding not far from me overnight. MKX suspects western Dane County set a WI record for 24-hour rainfall. Multiple water rescues and one confirmed fatality so far. Fortunately for me my apartment building is on a bit of a rise, so our parking lot was clear and I was able to get out and go to work. I have to check when I get home but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of water in the basement, though. Some communities just to the west of Madison were evacuated due to flooding of Black Earth Creek, and remain cut off this morning due to washouts and bridge damage along US 14.

Hoosier Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hmm Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 1147 AM CDT Sat Aug 25 2018 .UPDATE... 1145 AM CDT As alluded to in short term AFD, have concern for a conditional severe risk mid afternoon into this evening. Lack of synoptic forcing with h5 height rises continues to call into question convective coverage. However, with slowly eroding stratus (owing to very rich boundary layer moisture), lower level convergence could be aided by differential heating boundary(ies). In addition, tough to see much if any on W/V imagery, but mesoanalysis does show a weak h7 trough that will be over area into early evening and short range guidance indicates weak 700 mb PVA spreading across area. Once better insolation can occur, advection of steeper lapse rates, 70s dew points and temps warming into 80s will yield large instability up to 3000-4000 j/kg of MLCAPE. With convective temp on 12z RAOBs in upper 80s to around 90, there should be some minimal capping, so we`ll be needing the very weak forcing and any boundary convergence for CI. There is a decent signal on CAMs for CI occurring, however location and coverage are widely varying and would think coverage will be low for reasons above. Broad brushed low-mid chance PoPs up to I-88 or so, though in reality focus will likely be smaller than this. Turning back to the severe risk, conditionally speaking, the environmental parameters look that they will be favorable for isolated supercells given 30-35 kt of 0-6 km shear and good turning of winds from south-southwest at surface to southwest at 850 mb (~25 kt) to northwest at 500 mb. In presence of large CAPE, including in 0-3 km layer, have concern that any thunderstorm that can take advantage of this environment could get quite intense and capable of localized more noteworthy severe. SPC has reintroduced marginal risk south of I-88 and generally in agreement with this, though again the actual hazards from intense storms could be higher end than would normally be in a level 1 risk. With relatively weak southerly surface flow, would think main threat from any isolated severe storm would be large to very large hail and downburst winds. However, the very rich boundary layer moisture will certainly yield very low LCL heights and there will be high 0-3 km instability as mentioned. Both of these could overcome weak sfc flow with otherwise decent low level shear for a very isolated tornado risk. SPC did not include marginal/2% tor probs in updated 1630z outlook, but this will be something to watch. Finally, locally torrential rain will be likely in any intense t-storms with very moist air mass and thus could also yield a localized flash flooding risk. The strong-severe t-storm and flooding risk should shift east with time and end by mid evening or so. Castro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised to see a tornado or two in IL today either. Cooking OFB stretched more or less along I88, along with a buttload of 0-3km CAPE, low LCLs and adequate mid level flow. Only thing that is questionable is the height rises that are occurring that will probably temper storm intensity and longevity. Profiles along the OFB arent bad, more than sufficient for a tornado.

OHweather Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Yeah, that IN cell had impressive hail for a while but was mainly over open farmland before it got close to Greensburg. It was probably producing severe hail as far west as northern Shelby County and the signature was most impressive near or just before the time of those pictures.
