Hoosier Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Should get it good pretty soon. Can do without a tornado threat though... not a fan of these things coming in at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It was undoubtedly a significant tornado in the western suburbs. Had the radar sigs and now the damage reports are trickling in to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoalaBeer Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Not to be critical but anyone want to explain how there is a severe thunderstorm watch in place instead of a tornado watch when I’m looking at this on radar?

Regardless hope you are all safe out there. A tornado or two is possible in the watch language, low probs for tornadoes and sig tors. I assume the trained expert at SPC, based on the best tools and guidance available to him or her, did not expect many tornadoes from a QLCS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s perfectly fine, but in this day and age its not all to hard to upgrade to a tornado watch when looking at trends. Especially when issuing a new watch probably pushes a new notification to most people’s phones increasing awareness. Again not trying to be overly critical of people much smarter then me, but I think a TOR watch is well warranted especially with the nocturnal threat. How many members of the general public are looking at the probabilities and mesoscale discussions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
