I am at the damage area now. WGN already has a crew out here too. RC if you're lurking and want a location to pass on, it's near the intersection of Camelot Drive and Knighthood Drive in Dyer. From what I can tell, it appears to be very localized with trees down/snapped off.

I really thought we had a couple. Not 100% sure though. Poking around for storm reports, and it seems like there is a relatively concentrated area of tree damage in Dyer south of 30 from the first tornado warned cell.

I thought we had multiple warnings on the evening of Cristobal last year. Maybe just close by then? There's a pic on twitter of a low hanging funnel in Dyer from earlier. Can't tell if it's a tornado.

I'm not sure the threat is higher for this round than the one before. Low level flow actually looks more veered in the wake of the earlier activity. Talking strictly about our area. Still a chance though.

Sky is brightening to the west and winds are kicking up a bit again. Atmosphere may try to recharge.

Appeared to weaken as it got into Indiana. More activity behind it.

Looks to be on a similar path to the one in Dyer on Memorial Day 2019. Gonna be a close pass...

Been getting some decent gusts out ahead of this activity. The corridor as a whole does not seem to be in a hurry to shift eastward so looks like it will still be a while til anything gets in here.

I don't know what it is but today just kinda has the feeling of something happening close by. Low level flow is slightly veered out ahead of current activity, but still have some low level directional shear to play with.

Well, you probably would've been bowing out of here anyway, because as I said a while back, I'm closing this thread. Left it open to be able to track the declines and see if we could get under that 10k number by the end of the month, but the question has seemingly been answered. With so many prior infections and vaccinations, we are going to be learning along the way as we head through each season. Hopefully fall and winter aren't too bad. Once again, thanks to you and everyone who provided valuable info in this thread.

Um, sometime in the afternoon? I'm reluctant to narrow it down too much.

Definitely interested in the severe wx threat for Saturday. If anything, it looks like a somewhat better tornado threat than this evening. Could be centered very close by as well.

Rain shield has been staying to my south so far, but the northern edge is creeping north.

Should be good for snow melt in the mountains.

Mattb65, might be time to sweat. Cases UP slightly and still over 10k

Obviously there has been tremendous progress with turning the tide on the pandemic in the US, but we are still averaging a few hundred deaths per day as we head into the generally less favorable time of year for spread. There may be some months-ago backlog deaths factoring into the average, but I don't think that's playing a huge role. Run that daily number out over the course of a year and it would be 100k deaths. More "acceptable" than what we've seen, but let's not settle for that. In a country of 330 million people with vaccines that aren't perfect, people will die, but we can do better.

Signals for upcoming rounds seem to favor somewhere in central/southern LOT, so possible I could be well over 6" in the next day or two!

Have gotten a few inches, so doing pretty well here so far.

Buckets right now Keep an eye on the area around I-80.

A couple things regarding the Naperville tornado... Since 1950, it is the strongest tornado to hit so late in the evening north of I-80 in the LOT cwa. There have been a few other F/EF3 tornadoes that hit between ~10 pm and midnight to the south of I-80. I own a copy of the big green book, so I am able to look at tornado data back into the 1800s. When including pre-1950 tornadoes, it still goes down as one of the most significant tornadoes on record for DuPage county.

There's a tornado warning west of Quincy.

I wouldn't take it to the bank but it seems like a favored corridor could be near you, me or both of us.

Not sure about their climo but I'm guessing that a buck ten doesn't come around very often.
