Tornado watch issued at 2:10 Meso update on that watch at 2:13 3 mins..got to be the fastest ever TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 373 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 210 PM CDT WED JUL 15 2020 THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A * TORNADO WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN ILLINOIS SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MISSOURI * EFFECTIVE THIS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 210 PM UNTIL 900 PM CDT. * PRIMARY THREATS INCLUDE... A FEW TORNADOES POSSIBLE SCATTERED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH LIKELY SCATTERED LARGE HAIL EVENTS TO 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER POSSIBLE SUMMARY...AN REMNANT MCV AND ITS RELATED STRONG DEEP-LAYER/LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS ORGANIZING LINEAR BOWING STORMS THROUGH MID/LATE AFTERNOON. A FEW TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE ASIDE FROM MORE PREVALENT DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS. SEVERE HAIL MAY ALSO OCCUR. MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1234 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0213 PM CDT WED JUL 15 2020 AREAS AFFECTED...WEST-CENTRAL/CENTRAL IL CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 373... VALID 151913Z - 152015Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 373 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...ALL SEVERE HAZARDS, INCLUDING LARGE HAIL AND A TORNADO OR TWO, ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF TORNADO WATCH 373 FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. DISCUSSION...RECENT SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A LOW NORTH OF COU IN CENTRAL MO, WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL IL. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING ACROSS WEST-CENTRAL AND CENTRAL IL NORTH OF THIS WARM FRONT FOR THE PAST FEW HOURS. HOWEVER, RECENT RADAR IMAGERY HAS SHOWN A STRENGTHENING TREND WITH A FEW OF THESE STORMS, PARTICULARLY THE STORM IN TAZEWELL COUNTY. AS EVIDENCED BY THE 17Z ILX SOUNDING, INSTABILITY IS MODEST IN THIS REGION, BUT VERTICAL SHEAR IS STRONG. AS A RESULT, MORE PERSISTENT UPDRAFTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ORGANIZE/ROTATE, CONTRIBUTING TO A SLIGHTLY GREATER SEVERE THREAT THAN WOULD OTHERWISE BE SUPPORTED BY THE INSTABILITY. ADDITIONALLY, INITIALLY ELEVATED STORMS (LIKE THOSE WEST OF TAZEWELL COUNTY) MAY BE ABLE TO TRANSITION TO MORE SURFACE-BASED IF MID-LEVEL ROTATION PERSISTS AND/OR AS A RESULT OF INTERACTION WITH THE WARM FRONTAL ZONE. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL SEVERE HAZARDS ARE POSSIBLE, INCLUDING LARGE HAIL AND A TORNADO OR TWO.

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0491 NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 1142 AM EDT Wed Jul 15 2020 Areas affected......Central Missouri to central Illinois... Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 151545Z - 152145Z Summary...Flash flooding is possible as showers and thunderstorms expand across central Illinois into north central Missouri. Rainfall totals between now and 22z are expected to be 1-3 inches with isolated maxima to 5 inches. Discussion...Widespread showers and thunderstorms moving northeast from northern Missouri are expected to continue moving across central Illinois through early afternoon. The northern half of the threat area over central to northern IL is where a low level warm front centered near 850 mb drifts north, with focused warm and moisture advection combining with frontal convergence and 850-700 mb moisture fluxes to produce ascent. Since the axis of instability is forecast to remain over northern to central Missouri, redevelopment of cells is expected as temperatures rise in the warm sector and instability increases with time. The 14z RAP indicates potential for mixed layer CAPE values to increase to 2000-3000 j/kg early this afternoon over east central Missouri. The precipitable water values are estimated to increase to 2-2.25 inches in the 14z run of the RAP this morning from northeast Missouri across central Illinois. A closed 850-700 mb low moving across northern Missouri provides focus for lift in the area of greatest moisture, along with pre-frontal convergence east of a quasi stationary surface front near the Iowa/Illinois border and forming cold front in northeast Missouri. With moist, convergent flow centered near 850 mb, convection should develop in the higher precipitable water axis. Rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr will be likely given the high available moisture in east central Missouri. The high res models from the 12z NAM Conus Nest, 00z NSSL WRF, 13-14z HRRR, experimental HRRR, and 12z WRF ARW/ARW member 2 forecast clusters of 1-3 inches of rain by 21z, with isolated maxima to 5 inches. Flash flood guidance in 2-3 inches of rain in 3 hours, so flash flooding will be focused on the more persistent clusters of storms. The activity has been developing and moving a little more quickly to the east northeast than most of the guidance. The 06-12z Canadian regional GEM has captured the faster east progression better than the WRF ARW/NMMB/Experimental HRRR. Also, these models may be depicting heavier rain too far north into the area of less instability in southeast Iowa. Petersen ATTN...WFO...DVN...EAX...ILX...LOT...LSX...SGF...

MESOSCALE PRECIPITATION DISCUSSION 0407 NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD 1004 AM EDT TUE JUN 30 2020 AREAS AFFECTED...FAR SOUTHEAST IOWA, EASTERN MO, SOUTHERN IL, WESTERN KY CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL...FLASH FLOODING LIKELY VALID 301404Z - 302000Z SUMMARY...CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH AN MCV AND LLJ WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. RAINFALL RATES TO 2"/HR ARE LIKELY, PRODUCING AN ADDITIONAL 1-3" OF RAIN, WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS TO 5" POSSIBLE. THIS RAINFALL WILL EXACERBATE AND PERSIST ONGOING FLASH FLOODING. DISCUSSION...GOES-16 IR IMAGERY THIS MORNING DEPICTS AN EXTENDED CLUSTER OF COOLING CLOUD TOPS FROM FAR SOUTHEAST IOWA TO AS FAR SOUTH AS CENTRAL TENNESSEE. THIS IS REPRESENTATIVE OF A REGION OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING BENEATH IT, ASSOCIATED WITH AN MCV NEAR THE IL/IA/MO BORDER, AS WELL AS ALONG THE NOSE OF A ROBUST LLJ ARCING FROM THE SW AT 30-40KTS. 12Z U/A SOUNDINGS INDICATED PWS OF 1.57" AT DVN AND 1.68" AT ILX, BOTH AT OR ABOVE THE 90TH PERCENTILE FOR THE DATE, WITH GPS TPW OBSERVATIONS INDICATING PWS TO 1.8" LURKING JUST SW OF THE AREA. WARM CLOUD DEPTHS AT ILX WERE MEASURED AT ALMOST 13,500 FT, AND A RIBBON OF MUCAPE OF GREATER THAN 2000 J/KG WAS ANALYZED BY THE RECENT RAP, WITH A MODEST WEST TO EAST INSTABILITY GRADIENT PRESENT ACROSS THE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS. ALTHOUGH THE HIGH-RES CAMS DIFFER AS TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE CONVECTION INTO THE AFTERNOON, THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A CONTINUATION OF THE BI-MODAL DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVY RAINFALL. THE FIRST IS EXPECTED ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MCV WHICH IS FORECAST TO PIVOT NEARLY IN PLACE ACROSS SE IA. AS THIS SPINS, AN ENHANCED CONVERGENT BOUNDARY IS LIKELY TO PERSIST AND INTENSIFY TO ITS S/SW AS MODEST 850MB INFLOW SUPPLIES EXTREME INSTABILITY (MUCAPE RISING TO 3000 J/KG) AND ANOMALOUS PWS APPROACHING 2". WHILE SOME SUBTLE W/SW MOVEMENT OF THIS BOUNDARY IS LIKELY, IT WILL BE SLOW TO DRIFT AS IT ENCOUNTERS WARMER MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES TO THE WEST, SUGGESTING REGENERATION AND TRAINING/BACKBUILDING ALONG IT WITH LITTLE DISPLACEMENT. THIS SHOULD PRODUCE AN AREA OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WITH RATES POTENTIALLY RISING TO 2"/HR OR MORE. MUCH OF THIS AREA HAS ALREADY RECEIVED MRMS ESTIMATED RAINFALL OF 2-4" WITH LOCALLY MORE THAN 6" IN THE LAST 12 HOURS, SO SOILS ARE PRE-SATURATED AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WOULD ENHANCE ONGOING FLASH FLOODING. AN ADDITIONAL 1-2" OF RAINFALL WITH AMOUNTS LOCALLY DOUBLE THAT IS LIKELY AS SHOWN BY THE RECENT HRRRV4, HRRRV3, AND ARW. FURTHER SOUTH FROM SOUTHERN IL AND INTO WESTERN KY, A SECONDARY MAXIMA IS POSSIBLE WHERE THE NOSE OF THE LLJ MORE IMPRESSIVELY DRIVES MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND INSTABILITY TRANSPORT. DEEPENING WARM CLOUDS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO MUCAPE RISING TOWARDS 4000 J/KG AND PWS IN EXCESS OF 2" SUGGESTS RAIN RATES WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AND MAY EXCEED 2"/HR AS WELL. WHILE THERE EXISTS MORE UNCERTAINTY HERE DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A LAG IN ATMOSPHERIC RECOVERY, THE ROBUST LLJ AND EXTREME THERMODYNAMICS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL, AND RECENT HRRR RUNS SUGGEST REDEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTN. CORFIDI VECTORS ARE FAVORABLE FOR BACKBUILDING, AND WHERE EXCESSIVE RAIN RATES CAN TRAIN, AN ADDITIONAL 1-3" WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS TO 5" ARE POSSIBLE. THIS WILL PROLONG AND ENHANCE FLASH FLOODING. WEISS

12HRRR is just crazy for western IL/ NE MO...keep rains going almost nonstop(expect a couple hours maybe this afternoon) for the next 24 hours as the area gets caught in a WAA wing of a MCS overnight This over areas that have 4-8 inches already IF this correct 10-13 inch amounts possible

06z NAM didn't back off..... already 4-8 inches in the Quincy area MS river river was already at or near flood stage form there to just north of STL models have the whole stem from UIN to mouth of OH river dumped on

NAM is a "tad" bullish with rainfall amounts in SW IL

models develop an interesting little low over western IL the next 24 hours PW vales >2 and 500mb temps warming to -3 C on NAM

new thread to focus on Tornadoes, including MO river valley out west

very odd set up with the Tropical system and then a strong system for June DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0801 AM CDT TUE JUN 09 2020 VALID 091300Z - 101200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA/NORTHEAST KANSAS... ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MIDWEST/OHIO VALLEY... ..SUMMARY SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, AND A FEW TORNADOES ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND MISSOURI VALLEY. OTHER ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW TORNADOES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY. ..CENTRAL PLAINS/MISSOURI VALLEY HAVE UPGRADED PARTS OF THE REGION FOR A FOCUSED SEVERE RISK THAT IS ANTICIPATED TO BE MAXIMIZED GENERALLY NEAR THE SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA/NORTHEAST KANSAS BORDER VICINITY THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH LOCATED ALONG THE COLORADO/NORTHERN NEW MEXICO FRONT RANGE THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD AND REACH EASTERN KANSAS/SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA BY EVENING. STRONG HEIGHT FALLS WILL PRECEDE THIS UPPER TROUGH, ALONG WITH THE EXIT REGION OF A CYCLONICALLY CURVED MID/HIGH-LEVEL JET, WHICH WILL OVERSPREAD A MODERATE TO STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS AHEAD OF AN EASTWARD-MOVING FRONT/SURFACE LOW. IN PARTICULAR, A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTHEAST KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. SUBSTANTIAL SURFACE HEATING AHEAD OF THE LOW AND COLD FRONT SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO STRONG BUOYANCY ARCING ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS INTO SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA, WHICH WILL BE JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE SURFACE LOW. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FEATURE MLCAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG ACROSS THIS REGION WITH MINIMAL INHIBITION BY EARLY AFTERNOON. LATEST THINKING IS SCATTERED SUPERCELLS SHOULD FIRST DEVELOP IMMEDIATELY EAST/NORTHEAST OF THE SURFACE LOW, WITHIN THE FOCUSED EXIT REGION OF THE 80KT+ MID-LEVEL JET. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO INITIATE BY AROUND 19-20Z AND THEN SPREAD EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE NEBRASKA/KANSAS BORDER REGION. A FEW INTENSE SUPERCELLS CAN BE EXPECTED. WIND PROFILES WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF A TORNADO RISK ASIDE FROM VERY LARGE HAIL. STORMS MAY TEND TO CLUSTER AND BECOME UNDERCUT BY THE ADVANCING FRONT DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS, BUT A LARGE HAIL/DAMAGING WIND AND SOME TORNADO THREAT WILL CONTINUE DURING THE EVENING FROM FAR NORTHEAST KANSAS/SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA INTO SOUTHWEST IOWA/NORTHWEST MISSOURI. ..MIDWEST/LOWER OHIO VALLEY/MID-SOUTH A MID-LEVEL DRY SLOT ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE CRISTOBAL SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP EAST-NORTHEASTWARD OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE TOWARD ILLINOIS/INDIANA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WITH A VERY MOIST AIR MASS (LOW 70S F SURFACE DEWPOINTS) ALSO DEVELOPING NORTHWARD, DRY SLOT-RELATED CLOUD BREAKS AND DIURNAL HEATING WILL CONTRIBUTE TO WEAKENING INHIBITION AND MODERATE BUOYANCY BY AFTERNOON, PARTICULARLY ACROSS ILLINOIS INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL INDIANA. THE NORTH/NORTHEASTWARD-EXPANDING CORE OF STRONGEST LOW/MID-LEVEL WINDS WILL ALSO RESIDE WITHIN THIS SAME CORRIDOR, INCLUDING AN INCREASING MID-LEVEL WESTERLY COMPONENT THIS AFTERNOON, WHICH COULD BOOST THE POTENTIAL FOR SOMEWHAT LONGER DURATION/SEMI-DISCRETE UPDRAFT ROTATION. A FEW TORNADOES MAY OCCUR ACROSS THE REGION, ALONG WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM-RELATED WIND DAMAGE. PORTIONS OF ILLINOIS (ROUGHLY THE EASTERN HALF) INTO INDIANA WILL BE REEVALUATED IN SUBSEQUENT OUTLOOKS FOR A POSSIBLE TORNADO-RELATED RISK UPGRADE (10% ENHANCED). FARTHER NORTH, A TRANSIENT SUPERCELL/BRIEF TORNADO RISK CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS FAR NORTH AS EASTERN IOWA/SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND WESTERN/SOUTHERN WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, AND INTO LOWER MICHIGAN THIS EVENING.

such a bizarre set up I wont know where to begin.. is there like another warm front with mid 70 dewpoints surging north versus "only" 70-72 more north with a dryline surge (over Mo) with slightly improving lapse rates moving in behind Cristobal?

12z Euro = less/later phasing? comparing yesterdays 12z run

Trying to recall a tropical system moving north from the Gulf getting picked up and. moving out quickly in June like it was September .... They usually stall in the deep south somewhere in the summer

going to need a little luck today to get ORD above 10 inches for MAY' best bet may be storms firing SE over IND over moving NNW towards the metro early then another wave this evening 12Z GFS now trending wetter for next week with storms firing around the ridge and moving ESE to start out June

thanks

I have brought this up before over the years....Is there a reason why LOT more often then not doesn't reset their radar total precip amount.. why have a 4 day total? it is hard to tell how much new rain has fallen when the radar looks like a finger painting before hand
