Chicago Storm

he did have a quality severe storm this year, but I believe he was at work? hawkeye should be paying more and longer for that event.

Observed a brief tornado near Minooka about 25 minutes ago. .

.

Chicago metro is gonna get rolled in a few hours. .

Hopefully they are wise enough to upgrade a chunk of territory to an ENH risk and hatched hail.

New MD with 40% watch issuance probability, and “maybe” a watch being needed by around 17z for increasing wind threat. Totally overlooking the widespread (and significant) hail threat ongoing. .

Time for me to SPC hate again (Easy to do when content is just handed to us)... Most definitely is/was a bad outlook. Everything from last night suggested a slight was needed well into WI (And even further into IL). What’s worse is they double downed with a 20% watch probability MD at 9:15AM, and stated the threat was only “isolated”, when numerous warnings and widespread hail has occurred. .

hook me up. .

August 2021 finished as the 6th warmest August on record for Chicago... Warmest Augusts On Record: 1. 80.2° - 1947 2. 79.0° - 1995 3. 78.7° - 1959 3. 78.7° - 1955 5. 77.3° - 1983 6. 77.1° - 2021 7. 76.8° - 2020 8. 76.7° - 2010 8. 76.7° - 1973 10. 76.6° - 1916

10 90°+ days at DAY in Aug. might be the worst troll call ever. .

MDW snuck in a 91 yesterday. 30 - Ex Home 28 - RFD 26 - MDW 22 - ORD .

you’re not in the know. this is a regular thing with him... make a dumb decision, get in a bad spot, yell at people and then beg for money in the end. .

he’s a dumb kid that is well hated in the local chasing community. getting what was coming to him. .

it has been know for like a year now that this jock williams guy is terrible. board is lagging. .

poor kid, should learn from the know it all. .

S85G101MPH as of 5mins ago. Taking a hit from the NW eyewall. .

KMDJ S67G85MPH as of nearly 20mins ago. .

LSR of sustained 56MPH at KDSF.

95 at RFD, 94 at ex home, 93 at MDW and 92 at ORD today. 30 - Ex Home 28 - RFD 25 - MDW 22 - ORD .

It has done that another time recently...Definitely having issues. On the flip side, RPJ has been running too warm temp/DP wise a lot recently. .

94 at ex home, 92 at MDW, and 91 at ORD and RFD today. 29 - Ex Home 27 - RFD 24 - MDW 21 - ORD .

Both the IA and SD/MN MCS’s were not sustained, so that probably does it for the threat today for most of this sub-forum for today. .

Kind of a blind wait and see situation once again today, similar to Tues/Wed... CAMS are of no help, as most wanted to turn the ND/SD MCS into a ranging derecho today, and didn’t really have the MCS further south across NE/IA. The HRRR did have the southern complex, but has been in insta-kill mode with it, and took it NE into MN. So all guidance is pretty much a toss. As for what’s going on currently, the IA MCS is obviously of focus, and it will be interesting to see if it survives the next 3 hours or so. The environment that it’s in isn’t terrible, but it’s also not the best either (Low shear/modest instability/good moisture/good lapse rates). If it survives, the expected environment for this afternoon across E IA/S WI/N-C IL won’t be really all that better than what it’s currently in this morning. Then you have the ND/SD MCS, which probably won’t turn into a raging derecho as CAMS advertised. It continues to push towards MN, where the environment overall is even worse than what the IA MCS is in currently. Add in the potential issues that will arise if the IA MCS sustains... .

Will either fade or be a hit later. Needs to survive the next 3 hours. .
