Chicago Storm Posted 20 hours ago Author Share Posted 20 hours ago trash outlook.not supported by cams or the environment.i should say, the enhanced is fine, it’s the placement that is horrid. way too far SE/E. there shouldn’t be a slight in the metro, let alone an enhanced nosing in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re going by instability alone and expecting upscale growth to drive a squall line east I guess. There’s not much westerly shear component to support it. Definitely not way after dark. If not a squall line, maybe they anticipate isolated supercells along the warm front into the night. Nowhere near widespread enough to warrant an enhanced risk towards Chicago though.

hawkeye_wx Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Nothing severe here, and very little, weak, thunder like always, but the wind is gusty and the rain is torrential. I've received an inch in only 15 minutes. I may exceed 2" based on radar. Radar shows a big eastward surge just north of Cedar Rapids. There is likely stronger wind up there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Flash flood emergency declared for Davenport/Bettendorf. Sounds pretty bad there. They got smoked there last night too. Picked up a quick 0.55" in a 5 min torrential downpour here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogget Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Anecdotal reports of tornados going thru Monroe and Albany, WI. All I personally saw was some cloud rotation and an ill-formed funnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogget Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I think it is heading more north now, because Madison just got tornado warned. Our warning was just extended another 45 minutes but things are calming down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago From the last mesoscale discussion: "In the presence of 20-30 kt west-southwesterly mean ambient flow, moderately strong easterly updraft inflow of seasonably moist air characterized by CAPE in excess of 1500 J/kg seems likely to maintain current convective intensities at least to the the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan. As long as this continues, westerly rear inflow probably will remain sufficiently strong to contribute to strong to severe surface gusts in downdrafts." Guess we'll see about that lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago I don’t really see anything resembling a tornadic couplet with that warning. GRR office also preemptively tor warned a small bowing segment on May 15. I guess the risk for spinups is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll see about that lmao It will probably survive over the lake then croak and dry out right as it comes onshore. I hope to get some WAA popcorn out ahead.

TheNiño Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Near Northbrook. Pretty impressive looking for an otherwise mediocre storm. This was taken by a friend. Obligatory don’t use your phone when driving but thought it was cool enough to share anyway. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
