Too bad it’s so far from the radar.  Can’t really see to the surface.  Any chasers on this one?

[frostfern]

The one immediately behind it now seems to be gearing up to produce.

Madison cell is now wrapping up too.  Expect a tor warning soon.

Mean looking hail filled RFD.  Looks damaging.

Edit:  Now a cc drop and tornado warning.  Could be damaging RFD winds also lofting debris.

Low key excited for the squall line, embedded ‘naders, and flash flooding at midnight.

Well, Madison just got walloped.  Nasty wind driven hail and possible tornado.  Waiting to hear from anyone there.

QC area and here will likely be saved by the cap.

Bloomington WI cell needs a tor warning now.

The cell that just moved through Cedar Rapids didn't look super potent, but still dropped a few pieces of hail up to 0.75" in my yard.

Looks like the airport was RFD'd, with the couplet having moved just a hair north.

Ryan Hall now showing a lot of pics/videos of rope tornado(es) in Iowa. I wonder how many tornadoes will end up happening today.

Snoozefest for QCA as expected.  May get some late night sloppy seconds as llj ramps up.
