Eeep! Kinda figured this would happen, it’s been hot and dry in our state as of late

That supercell in Chicago ended up being amazing! I was shocked it came through but unfortunately was working so couldn’t really take pics like I wanted, but I love the tornado siren sound so much, it’s so creepy everytime it gives me goosebumps!!! Crazy how my house missed completely but downtown we got a direct hit. The storms in Wisconsin are pretty intense, and the NAM actually looks like it brings them down here once again, hoping my house in the burbs get something tonight

As a just for fun photographer, I’m pretty sad that this year of all years is the one that Illinois has had close to nothing in terms of warnings and actual storms. With gas being what it is, I don’t really find it worth it to chase outside of the state unless it’s one of the immediate surrounding, so I’m banking on IL getting in on some of the action tomorrow though it looks like the potential has shifted a bit north with the updated models. So meh That said, here’s the one shot I got from the only decent warning we’ve had back in May, where of course I didn’t have my camera lol FullSizeRender.MOV

OH MY GOD LITERALLY. I went for a run this morning and i almost cried because it was absolutely freezing. It’s just cold 5 days a week and like 60 on the ‘warm’ days. I might go down there with you if you do lol That said, on the one “warm” day this past weekend, I took some pretty cool pictures of the clouds after the storms came through at an abandoned mansion we found in the middle of nowhere.

Awwww this is so awful. I can’t believe how bad it’s getting there. Isn’t May/June usually your best months though for precip? Hope you know everyone in here is rooting for you!!

All of these models have a little doughnut hole right over the south burbs of Chicago (aka me lol). Anyone know why?! So weird to me.

To be totally honest, after this last storm, I’m kinda just super ready for spring lol. Like the snow started to melt today and it’s just meh. Im excited for it to be bright at 7pm again. This winter has been meh mostly anyways. I like severe weather more anyways Im sure I posted this here but the time-lapse I got from a parking garage a few years ago makes me wish it was warmer!

Here’s some pics from around 12:30pm today and it’s still snowing. Pretty awesome so far! IMG_1034.MOV

Doesn’t matter much but the HRW was very far south yesterday (if I remember correctly?) and now it’s way further north and really hammers the city with LES.

With the way the rain is setting up over the N side of town, I think the energy is further NW than predicted and models are seeing it. It’s also awesome how both the KC people and Chicagoans are both cheering for eachother I really hope this works out for all of us!

Thank you! It’s a big change of pace but having a place to park and not having to drive around to find a spot for an hour is a relief Also, I actually think I’m in a decent spot. I think this goes north last minute, even if it’s 20 miles Tinley is golden. I’m so excited!!! NAM even gives me 12-15” and riding the boarder of even more, I absolutely am not complaining!

Us [im so bored at work omg send help]

I think this will actually wobble quite a bit yet, I just don’t know where. It’s crazy how many people would be happier if it just goes 50-75 miles north. Though the southern suppression trend is a bummer

Finished wrapping up my move into the south burbs yesterday (Tinley Park). I still have a place in the city but love my new place down here. Only problem is neither the girl I’m living with nor I even have a shovel since we’re both from the city and we now have a massive driveway lol so we’re both a bit nervous!
