hawkeye_wx Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Holy cow, what a storm! This reminds me of the derecho. It briefly poured half-inch size hail, then 70 mph wind blasted through. I couldn't even see the houses across the street. Thankfully, our hail was only half-inch size. A spotter only a mile away reported ping-pong ball size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Models did a terrible job forecasting this. The HRRR literally had nothing making it to eastern Iowa only a few hours ago. The RRFS had something small passing across northeast Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 If the MCS in Wisconsin can hold together that’s a classic Milwaukee to South Bend track. Some of the best storms in memory have taken that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pen_artist Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Got some quarter hail and strong winds, not sure of what the wind damage looks like though in Downers Grove/Woodridge area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Kind of thankful to get a chance to do it again because I'm not exaggerating when I say my backyard got split by probably less than a couple kilometers both east and west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Apparently parents got rocked, mom said it looks like a bomb went off, waiting for cary#s to confirm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Flash Bang lightning out there. 3-5 strikes a minute. Watched from the porch for 90 min as these mini complex's moved SSE. Best light show of the year. They are just now weakening which could mean some left over outflows for initiation tomorrow morning similar to earlier today. Best light show of the year, until its on top of you lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Watched two outflow boundaries collide just to my south on radar. Nice line of storms developed with, as @Jackstraw described, constant lightning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiño Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Had hail damage in may and got wind damage today. Tore off a couple panels of my siding, although admittedly they were probably weakened already and this was just the final straw. Wasn’t home when it happened so can’t give any estimated wind speeds. Glad I’m a renter this year but still a pain in the butt. Definitely was not expecting that today especially since we were never warmed for anything. Been a fantastic light show over the lake tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 13Z slight risk upgrade with the addition of a 2% tornado contour is giving me deja vu on this 20th anniversary. Overcast here in Madison, and the additional rain pushing in from Iowa doesn't lend confidence in clearing anytime soon, but satellite does show clearing in northern IL and nosing into far southern WI. That line in Iowa looks to be flying though so we may yet clear out around midday. Will have to see where the outflow and differential heating boundaries end up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got that dying complex in Iowa, but that looks like a bigger problem for our cheeseheads to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 SPC already trimmed the slight out of southwestern WI behind the ongoing band, so looks like they expect primary severe threat to be with that and not any redevelopment later this afternoon.

Chicago Storm Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 The SPC is too hung up on that struggling MCS across S WI and N IL. Main focus will be south near remnant outflow, which is partially washing out to the far west in IA. E IA into N IL will be more of the focal point for new development this afternoon. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
