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.

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.

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.

Anecdotal reports of tornados going thru Monroe and Albany, WI.  All I personally saw was some cloud rotation and an ill-formed funnel.

Nice comma head MCV.  Do CAMs show it?  Is it headed for MBY?  Lase time I saw CAM output it was whiffing north and dying.

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

Pretty sweet comma head action up that way.

Up to 1.10" here.  Some big positive stroke crashes of thunder behind the main line shaking the house.

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.  Thoughts and prayers.

Narrator voice, “this did not occur”
