Geos Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I think most of the severe weather will be south of where I am. Onshore winds, and clouds look to dominate the day. The severe weather will want to pop where the high dewpoints meet areas where the sun is/was out. NAM only gets it this warm tomorrow with rain most of the day.

jaster220 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 This is bad news... Not a severe wx nut and don't ask me which way is up on a hodograph (LOL) but when I see those who know their stuff posting things like "hodo's anywhere near the WF are insane and true wx porn" it makes me take notice. Torcon of 5-ish over my way at night is a bit concerning as well. Especially since my oldie-but-goodie NOAA radio gave it up last summer. Battery power was helpful and comforting when the power goes. My kid with the smart phone is on holiday as they say in Europe so no help there.

Hawkeye Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I've been following the latest 4k nam, hrrr, and hrrrx runs all day. The 4k nam and hrrrx are similar in showing most of the storms north and east of my area. The hrrr, on the other hand, drives a huge mcs down through Iowa with very little to the north and east.

Tom Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 LOT continues with strong wording with this potent system... http://www.weather.gov/images/lot/WxStory/FileL.png?rand=72524 The severe weather event is currently forecast to unfold during themid-late afternoon through the evening Wednesday. However...as istypical with thunderstorm forecasting this far out...the mainchallenge forecasting this severe threat later in theafternoon/evening will be with regards to how much recovery occursin the afternoon...along with the placement and behavior of anyresidual mesoscale boundaries from the expected morning convectiveactivity. There are some minor differences in the placement of thewarm frontal boundary...and track of the surface low over the areaWednesday evening. However...in spite of these slightdifferences...there is a general corridor across northern Illinoisinto northwestern Indiana...where hires guidance is suggesting thatstrong backed surface flow will set up later in the afternoon...inthe vicinity of a surface warm frontal boundary. With strong veeringflow expected within the lowest 1 km...very impressive low-levelshear/helicity...is forecast. Because of this, there is a realthreat of strong tornados over northern Illinois Late Wednesdayafternoon/evening. The main challenge at this range is the exactplacement of this surface boundary as convection develops.Given that recovery is expected following the morningstorms...storms are expected to redevelop...possibly over or nearnorth central/northwestern Illinois (near the triple point) by midafternoon. With deep layer shear likely to support rotatingupdrafts...super cells...with all severe hazards...will likely bethe initial storm mode. With time...expect the storms to begin togrow upscale into a southeastward moving MCS with Strong damagingwinds...and possible embedded tornados over the area into Wednesdayevening.In additional to the real significant severe risk, there is also athreat of flash flooding. Although the storms are expected to moveat a good clip, I have two main concerns that could point to a flashflood risk: 1.) The possibility of some training storms with an east-southeastward movement nearly parallel to the surface boundary, and2.) Very efficient rainfall processes with Pwats expected to be ator above 2". Because of this, the storms could drop rainfall amountsof 2+ inches within an hour. This could cause floodingissues...especially in urban areas. In spite of the fact that therelooks to be some dry time early Wednesday afternoon, I have opted torun this watch from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening tocapture both potential periods of heavy rain.

Geos Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Update from LOT AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE, IL 857 PM CDT TUE JUN 21 2016 UPDATE 855 PM CDT CHALLENGING FORECAST NEXT 24 HOURS FROUGHT WITH UNCERTAINTY. SURFACE ANALYSIS THIS EVENING HAS A WARM FRONT STRETCHING NW TO SE ACROSS THE REGION, LOCATED ACROSS WC TO SE IL. TO THE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY IN OUR CWA, VERY DRY AIR MASS IN PLACE WHILE SEASONABLY MOIST AIR MASS NEAR/SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. VERY MOIST AIR MASS RESIDES NEAR THE BOUNDARY WHERE MID 70 DEWPOINTS ARE POOLING. HAVE ALREADY SEEN SOME WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOP IN THE WAA REGIME JUST TO THE NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL IA AND WOULD EXPECT COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF STORMS TO INCREASE TONIGHT AS 40KT+ LLJ RESULTS IN STRONG THETA-E ADVECTION. GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE WARM FRONT/INSTABILITY AXIS AND STEERING FLOW LARGELY FROM THE NW, WOULD EXPECT MAJORITY OF THIS CONVECTION TO MOVE SE INTO CENTRAL IL TONIGHT AND LARGELY MISS A GOOD MAJORITY OF OUR CWA. SOME OF THE LIGHTER MORE STRATIFORM PRECIP ON THE NORTHERN FLANK OF THIS CONVECTION WILL LIKELY SPREAD INTO MAINLY OUR WESTERN AND SOUTHERN CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT. MANY MODELS SUGGEST THAT THIS WAA DRIVEN ACTIVITY COULD FESTER WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS WEDNESDAY ONLY GRADUALLY SPREADING NORTH. THE LAST FEW RUNS OF THE HRRRX DEVELOP A HEALTHY COLD POOL THAT PUSHES THE EFFECTIVE OUTFLOW AUGMENTED FRONT FAR TO THE SOUTH...SOUTH OF I-70 EVEN BY MID-LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOT CONFIDENT THAT FRONT WILL BE THIS FAR SOUTH, BUT FIGURE WITH CLOUDS AND PROBABLY SHOWERS AND ISOLD STORMS CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH A WIND OFF THE LAKE THAT TEMPS WILL BE COLDER TOMORROW THAN WE HAD GOING. HAVE KNOCKED TEMPS BACK SEVERAL DEGREES OVER ABOUT THE NE HALF OF OUR CWA AND EVEN THE MID-UPPER 70S IN THE GRIDS NOW MAY END UP BEING TOO WARM (ESPECIALLY NEAR THE LAKE). IT IS A TIME OF YEAR THAT WARM FRONTS CAN JUMP NORTH QUICKLY, AND THAT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN FAIRLY STRONG SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. IT IS LOOKING LIKE THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL SEVERE THREAT COULD END UP NEEDING TO BE EVENTUALLY SHIFTED SOUTH IF WAA DRIVEN CONVECTION OVERNIGHT INTO WED MORNING IS AS EXTENSIVE AS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS.

Tom Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 A couple more pics from the (7) confirmed Tornado's yesterday...the Pontiac one was the strongest at an EF-2 up to 125mph winds. A year ago to the date yesterday, Coal City, IL was demolished with a huge Tornado outbreak. This year, thankfully, they were spared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
