Minny_Weather Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Oh. Apparently I'm under an enhanced risk today. I haven't even been paying attention to weather recently lol. I wonder why SPC issued a severe t-storm watch, with a mention of higher than normal tornado risk, instead of issuing a tornado watch in SE MI? I also wonder why they didn't include NW OH in the watch. They're on something tonight. 70.7*F. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Tom Posted April 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Wow, flipping through some twitter feeds from last night and confirmation from my family back home, it certainly was an active evening last night with plenty of severe storm reports. One of my best friends was at Busse Woods out on the trails and said they were packed with people enjoying a beautiful day. He said it felt like summer with a strong breeze and later in the evening storms blew up all across NE IL.

Stormy Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Was very nice here as well before a strong cf blew through here early this afternoon around 1:00pm or a bit after. Then there was a strong nw wind and now it's feeling chilly. If the front would've been a bit slower we might've gotten a storm and almost did the way it was. Just hoping it doesn't get to cold because things are really budding. Should be ok if it doesn't fall below 29° or so tomorrow night etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
