Hoosier

I haven't checked but anecdotally it seems like it's been cloudier than average for a while.

Well, good news is that can't trend much worse.

I think it's an office by office thing or even just comes down to who did the survey/typed up the summary. I have seen verbose descriptions for EF0/EF1 tornadoes but sometimes not. I think it's more important that they were accurate (or at least as accurate as possible) with the path length, intensity, etc.

8 tornadoes so far in IN (5 in IND, 3 in ILN). Here's an interesting tidbit... that is more tornadoes on June 15, 2019 than occurred on all June 15ths from 1950-2018 combined.

IND tweeted that they found a couple of EF2s... one east of Bloomfield and another near Ellettsville.

Based on the damage pics I have seen and radar data, I am confident that the tornado around Ellettsville is EF2+.

Woman tells how he survived tornado by hanging onto tree near Ellettsville, Indiana Nicole Rood tells how she survived a tornado by holding onto the door handle of a house as she was lifted off the ground in the 6400 block of West Cowden Rd., Saturday, June 16, 2019 near Ellettsville, Ind. Rood's boyfriend Brett Cantrell survived by hanging onto a tree across the road. The couple were in their car when the storm stuck, and exited their car to find a safe place. The tornado destroyed several homes, tore up trees, and left dangerous live power lines scattered around the area. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/nicole-rood-tells-how-she-survived-a-tornado-by-holding-news-footage/1156231248?adppopup=true

Tornado warning south of Peoria.

So let's say that happens. How rare would it be?

Not saying we will get a redux but the 8/24/2016 tornado fest occurred with a remnant MCV. Just shows what they are capable of in the more extreme outcomes.

5% tornado probs in the OH Valley today.

The average number of 82+ days by now is about 10 days. Rough and dirty estimate... could be off by a day or so. In any case, definitely running behind the average for those days.

Coincidentally the Euro just got an upgrade.

Was looking up some 100 degree stats for Chicago. It has been about 7 years since ORD hit 100. If 2019 fails to produce a 100 degree day, it would be the longest stretch without one since the 1960s (1961-1970 had none).

Things might pick up a bit after the midpoint of the month.

Looks like the earthquake occurred in the northeast Ohio seismic zone.

That came out of nowhere.

Just gotta laugh how a -NAO was so hard to come by last winter, but has been so prevalent in the past couple months. I think the correlation with temps does become less as you get into summer, meaning that a -NAO is not as likely to result in below average temps (for example, 2012 was a -NAO summer). This is where looking at actual maps/patterns helps.

What is going on in White county Indiana

All I remember about that summer is the epic wet July. Don't really need that again.

Have a feeling that we may be seeing NegativeEPO around here more.

ENH added from the St. Louis area eastward into IN.

Definitely some broad rotation in that cell.
