CheeselandSkies Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 3K NAM has been reluctant to fire convection tomorrow since it came into range, but 18Z HRRR actually doesn't look terrible parameter space-wise around the WI/IL border region, and fires storms around 23-00Z.

On Google Maps it seems that most of houses are on the southern side of town so hopefully it missed them to the north (though it's hard to tell).

Tons of cloud to ground lightning. Had 1” hail with the cells that formed behind the main bow As per the other posts, was a pretty significant hail event by our standards. The station I work at was wall-to-wall or nearly wall-to-wall from shortly after the first thunderstorm warning went out at around 5:10, until the storms cleared the Madison broadcast market shortly before 8:00. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiño Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Brief pea size hail here. Was hoping for some decent thunder at least but we couldn’t muster that up - not a single rumble. Looked much more intense on radar so my weenie self is a little disappointed but I’ll forgo the hail damage. Oh well, back to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 12Z HRRR and 3K NAM both fire a supercell in south-central WI this afternoon, and this one has some surface-based instability to work with... Chase mode activated? We shall see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily it did miss town to the north. Undoubtedly a few farmsteads were probably hit. Haven't really seen or heard of much damage though - yet.

Chicago Storm Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago The activity that moved through parts of the metro area yesterday afternoon over-performed expectations on what was an isolated/low quality potential day.The main severe t’storm just missed home by about 2 miles or so, but I took a drive down the road into Batavia and encountered 2.00” hail and ~60MPH winds. After it passed, I drove another block or so down the road and found some 2.50” hail stones laying in the grass. This wasn’t a true big hail, as it was just spiky smaller hail (See pics).The worst of it all was in the subdivision to the east of where I sat, where 70-90MPH downburst winds occurred with 2.50” hail as well. I drove through this area post-storm, and there were hail piles everywhere, high quality hail fog, shredded trees, and widespread significant tree damage. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
