Derecho! Posted March 28, 2020 Warning and a circulation suddenly forming W of Galesburg IL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calderon Posted March 28, 2020 It may be cycling as velocities are coming down somewhat, in addition to the CC drop expanding farther downrange. At least it'll miss Paragould to the east. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CheeselandSkies Posted March 28, 2020 Looked uncannily liked TCL 4/27/11, also in the way it formed. They were looking at a big wall cloud, then it abruptly condensed and rapidly expanded. Shows the kind of conditions that could have been in place today in IL/IA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackstraw Posted March 28, 2020 10 minutes ago, It's Always Sunny said: Although things are going to fire up later than initially thought I still think a tornado outbreak is still in the cards. Option B would be later this evening these cells merge into a QLCS with embedded tornadoes which is fairly common with high shear, low CAPE events, typically in early spring. SPC meso has the shear relaxing 15-20 KT's over the next couple hours. I'm with you, may not be a major outbreak but it won't take much to light the candle. The possibility of a long tracker in the PDS area is still there. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a watch issued farther east later this evening along the warm front. KIND has a growing concern for that possibility. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised there isn't a PRESFR on the observation given the very close proximity event. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmokeEater Posted March 28, 2020 It never went back up, multiple reports it's been down this entire time. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheeselandSkies Posted March 28, 2020 New warning is not a TORR, CC appears to show most detectable debris being "old" debris falling out of the FFD. However, couplet did ramp back up there. Would have been a good time to use the "...THIS STORM HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING TORNADOES" wording in the new warning. *EDIT: Quickly changed to TORR warning based on spotter report.

If the line doesn't pop in the next hour or so, Cedar Rapids will be in the clear. I think our fate was sealed after that late wave of morning to afternoon storms. Then that feed of showers and clouds continued all day, at least in IL. Moisture quality seemed to be less than what was forecasted. Just goes to show you how a few variables being off can totally change an otherwise potent tornado setup. That's Jonesboro storm was insane. That tornado looked just like Tuscaloosa. Curious to see what the environment was near that storm 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the motion, the roar may give some credence to that was well. This video backs up the debris sigs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
