hawkeye_wx Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 So far it has been a lot of lightning and a constant low rumble here in CR. The action has been one county west, while the weakening blowoff rain moves east into CR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nasty wind signature that far away from DVN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have what may be the beginnings of a WAA wing from just east of the QC back up towards Maquoketa. Thinking we're gonna get smacked here pretty good by the main line in a few hours.

hawkeye_wx Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Woo! It's not severe, but we're getting very heavy rain, with a bit of wind and a bit of pea size hail, and it's last for a while this time, not five minutes like every other cell this spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAA wing storms exploding just west of here. The cell just to the west has a small hail core already. Could get interesting here sooner than I thought.

Issue was that there were 2 separate surface circulations and both kept spitting out wall clouds and neither became dominant over the other. What we get then is a whole bunch of wall clouds that lack the "umpf" to get it done. What was interesting is that I initially started in Mason City and bagged a brief bird fart tornado up there. Only issue with these storms was that everything was super HP, apparently there were more tornadoes, but I couldn't see them. Then as those storms went outflow dominant, came back to CR for a bit before the Tama storm initiated, then headed back out again. This storm was thankfully more classic in nature and around sunset which made it better. All in all, pretty solid chase today. Forest City bird fart tornado(if you look closely you can see debris above the road sign): Pretty nice whales mouth near Mason City: and just one of the MANY wall clouds the storm near Tama/Belle Plaine produced. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlover2 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Sounds like a slight risk upgrade coming for parts of IL/IN and maybe Ohio on the next day 1 update. Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0693 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1004 AM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 Areas affected...Central/Southern IL...Central/Southern IN...Western KY Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 101504Z - 101700Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Isolated hail and damaging wind gusts are possible across portions of the lower and middle OH Valley during the next few hours. Isolated and marginal nature of the threat will likely preclude the need for a watch this morning into the early afternoon. However, late afternoon thunderstorms across western and central IL will likely merit an upgrade to Slight risk in the upcoming 1630Z Convective Outlook. DISCUSSION...Cluster of thunderstorms currently moving through east-central IL and central IN, which originated via warm-air advection in the wake of an overnight MCS, will continue to move southeastward across the OH Valley. This cluster is displaced northward of the better instability, suggesting a relatively low threat for severe thunderstorms. Some hail may be possible as a result of storm interaction, particularly on the back building west end of the cluster, but the overall severe threat appears low. More cellular convection has recently developed across far southern IN and adjacent portions of western KY along the leading outflow from the overnight MCS. As with areas farther north, a generally isolated severe threat is expected given the lack of instability and displacement south of the stronger flow aloft. A few water-loaded downdrafts capable of damaging wind gusts constitute the highest severe hazard. Farther west, a complex surface pattern exists. A surface low was analyzed just north of the IA/MO/IL border intersection with an effective warm front extending southeastward across central IL. Warm air advection across this boundary is supporting backbuilding convection near PIA. As mentioned previously, some isolated hail is possible in this area. A more widespread severe threat may develop across western IL this afternoon along and south/southwest of the warm front and an upgrade to Slight risk is probable with the upcoming 1630Z Convective Outlook. ..Mosier/Grams.. 06/10/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The line in central IL seems to be breaking up into somewhat more quasi discrete cells as it moves se into an area of 450 m2/s2 helicity. Needs to be watched even though bulk shear is higher to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I'm living about a mile south of KBMI, and was fairly close to the couplet as it tracked through Bloomington. I didn't have a great view from my location, but I was able to see some decent low level rotation/wall cloud as the storm came through. A few tree limbs down here, but it seems the winds really got going about a county to my southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Lots of downed trees, power lines, even stop lights hanging off the poles, hard to tell if straight line winds or possible tornado.

AppsRunner Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Two very brief tornadoes on the SW side of Champaign yesterday. Also not included was a roughly 1 mile by 800 yard wide microburst, primarily on the U of I golf course, with roughly 80mph winds. Quote 000 NOUS43 KILX 112020 PNSILX ILZ027>031-036>038-040>057-061>063-066>068-071>073-120830- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Lincoln IL 320 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018 ...NWS DAMAGE SURVEY FOR 06/10/18 TORNADO EVENT... .OVERVIEW...

snowlover2 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Slight risk added from NE IA through NE WI on the new day 1 with marginal surrounding that. Pretty big change especially IA which for the most part wasn't even in the general storm area. Also marginal expanded northward in S IL and S OH.

HRRR and several other CAMs seem to be alluding to a chance for a few elevated supercells/hailers this evening and overnight. We'll see how that goes.
