hawkeye_wx Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The line looked potent, and was severe-warned, as it moved through Cedar Rapids, but it was bit of a dud. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Claridge Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 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.

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 hours ago, SchaumburgStormer said: Turned into a yawner as soon as we started the late thread Won’t even get much thunder here. Just smallish showers. Instability is always trash with deep SW flow in this area. Zonal 500 mb flow delivers more instability, even at night. You don’t need deep CAPE for tornadoes with extreme shear, but I’d rather have a good light show than a low-topped severe event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Couple pics from our brief chase near Wenona, IL. Nothing exciting but wasn’t a bad looking storm. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Chased this day and intercepted the supercell south of Kalona. Clipped the RFD core heading north and then east to keep up with it, getting numerous subtle but noticeable hail pockmarks on the driver's side and hood of my vehicle. The Riverside tornado was occurring off to our south at about this time, I told my chase partner to keep an eye to his right based on the radar presentation but we couldn't see anything through the rain. Ended up with a distant glimpse of a rope funnel as we approached West Liberty from the south. Chasers who were closer confirmed a ground circulation with this, although the NWS's survey has the only other tornado occurring a few minutes earlier and seemingly a bit further west, southwest of Downey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
