They are real. It's gotten pretty crazy here. 1/4mile vis just from the rain. Flash Flood Warnings almost the entire eastern half of the state now expanding to the NE as this next bow moves in. Phones gone off 3 times for a FFE in the last 2 hours. We could definitively see 15 inch event totals in places(some already have over 10) if this bow tracks along this stalled outflow boundary. Hoping it washes out as it turns similar to yesterday. Its a freaking electric power washer non stop out there too. Still constant lightning. Crazy stuff. I'm officially flooding severely now. Barns taking water

That spot two counties east of Indianapolis, where radar is estimating over a foot of rain, has been storming for 11 straight hours without a break, which is insane.  Radar is now blowing up up with a bunch more to their nw.

Looking for some understanding.

Got dark here about 25 minutes ago on the far NW side of Chicago near Lincolnwood/Niles. Streetlights triggered, I assumed something was about to drop, checked the radar and nothing. Got brighter, lights go back off. Then about ten minutes later wife at the office in Northbrook area texts me that its 'night time dark out there' but nothing showed on the radar. 

Anyone have Skilling's phone number?

This stretch of weather has been wonky. Feels like the pros have no real handle on this stuff other than yesterdays derecho

Trying to will the bow echo just far enough north to get the shelf cloud. What a run we're on.

Amazing drive into work this morning.  Went from dense fog to dark as night driving right into the incoming line.  Couldn't see a shelf cause of the fog.  Then hit a wall of torrential rains and 60mph winds.  Was worrying a bit about some of the trees whipping around on the west side of the highway.  

Another great soaker with over an inch at home looks like.
