Cyclone-68

Let the EF0 and EF1 show begin

Sun peeking in and out here. Satellite seems about 50/50 to whether the clouds break completely

I’d have a sprinkle of 6/11 with a dash of 6/53 and make it hurt

FWIW the sun is trying hard to peek through right now

Any chance we get any clearing down here before the afternoon is done?

The sun will rise, the sun will set and Iowa will still get a derecho

I’d be happy with sub severe 90% of the time. Doesn’t have to be classic plains/midwest tops to 80,000 feet stuff..It looks like I’ll be moving to southern NH in the next two years so hopefully that’ll improve my lot a little

Looks like those poor midwesterners are gonna get hit with everything but the kitchen sink today. 2000-3000 j/kg yikes.

The AFD for Chicago is pretty ominous for tomorrow: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LOT&issuedby=LOT&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1

History has shown (at least to me living in EMA) that depending on a warm front to break through and clear us out to set us up later is a lot to ask. I can’t even count the times we had solid overcast while I’m desperately wishing the clouds to break and the sun to shine while NYC and the region get pounded..I acknowledge I’m admittedly not exactly in a severe hot bed where I live but that’s been the scenario 8 out of 10 times here.

I wish Thursday trends north but that’s “pie in the sky”

As was noted up thread maybe the slightly cooler temps will help generate some severe if not at least more garden variety storms?
