4/2/26 Severe Threat

[Geoboy645]

Event is already about to be underway here. But there should be a thread for a 10 percent and a 70/40 watch.

Not sure how much I’ll be able to contribute to the thread but good luck to our members in the game today.

Nice line trying to get going SSW of the quad cities, out in front of the main line.

Nice hook south of Iowa City.

Weather spotter confirmed tornado in the warning text now

South of Davenport looking gnarly

The line looked potent, and was severe-warned, as it moved through Cedar Rapids, but it was bit of a dud.

Lol, classic

Nice sup heading right at us.  If it can get it's act together this could get interesting.

Sun breaking out a bit imby

Those storm cells near the Quad Cities should be watched very closely. There seems to be some issues with other nearby cells interfering, but the cells over McCausland and Colona might be starting to get that “look.”

The tornado-warned storm moving towards Toronto, IA also bears watching; it’s about to merge with the line behind it.

Storms trying to get going locally but nothing exciting. Not even much lightning.

Nice ragged/elongated wall cloud passed just southeast.  It was trying it's best to wrap up.  Had a period of quarter size hail and torrential rain from core right after the wall cloud passed by.

Tightening up near Marcellus, MI
