the supercell between Viroqua and Viola looks like it could easily produce a tornado in the next half hour.
-
Huge drop in CC with that. Almost 2 miles wide.
-
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=909022959706349 Some pretty crazy footage of the tornado up in Outagamie County near Green Bay yesterday.
-
lots of supercell structures already going up on Radar between La Crosse and Stevens Point
-
1630z outlook adds 10% tor over southern and central Wisconsin
-
dewpoints knocked back about 7 degrees, from 73 to 66 here as the MCS modified air moved through, back to almost full sunshine though so will be watching how quickly we can recover
-
As long as the convective debris clouds don't go too crazy here, excited about the potential gravity waves/mass perturbations that will move into southern Wisconsin from this complex.
-
Enhanced expanded into S WI and the Chicagoland area, 5% tor introduced as well
-
Things still on track for S WI today. Look for supercells to unzip NE to SW along the front. Upscale growth will occur after an hour or two with a MCS diving SE through the Chicagoland area. Wind still the largest threat but tornado and hail potential increased from yesterday
-
a more classic supercell setup with 40 kts of bulk shear. Main concern will be how quickly upscale growth occurs along the front but shear vectors will be fairly orthogonal to the front.
-
tomorrow is the day for supercells
-
Been 50+ mph wind gusts for over 15 mins now. Nothing super crazy high end but the longevity has been impressive
-
Shelf incoming. Almost overhead
-
Both today and tomorrow look fairly interesting in S WI. Shear will be a limiting factor today but instability will be off the charts. I’ll be keeping an eye on any mesoscale enhancement of the wind fields. tomorrow has also uptrended around here. Instability will be a bit less but still on the high end of climo. Shear will be sufficient for supercells.

MCV rolling ENE from Central Iowa late this morning. Should be an interesting afternoon again in Southern Wisconsin
-
5.59" of rain today in La Crosse, wettest day on record for that city.
-
Tomahawk, Wi got down to 39 this morning. Black River Falls 42 and Fort McCoy 43.
-
The amount of wildfire smoke overhead is absurd. If this is the new normal I want off this ride
-
There was definitely a bookend rotation there. Never really tightened up but I could see the notch as it passed to my W.
-
Magnitude 8.2 earthquake just occurred near the Aleutian Islands. Have to watch for tsunami potential with this one
-
Best storm of the year here by far. Definite warning criteria winds, mostly after the initial gust front in the back half of the precipitation. Craziest part was the downdraft brought down a very strong smoky smell from all the wildfires
-
absurd amount of smoke. when visiting Boise last week there was a haze in the sky the entire time we were there. Had to drive to the mountains to actually see them. Really hope one of these summers can have a pattern change for the west. Not holding my breath though.

Peter Sinks is jealous

I can always know when sea ice has a slow loss period because I see weatherdude88 post on all the various arctic sea ice forums. It's like clockwork waiting for this guy to pop out of his cave.

Taking a trip to Boise next weekend. Can’t wait to either boil or choke on wildfire smoke
