IWXwx

I've been a CoCoRaHS volunteer since May, 2006. I went to a Ft. Wayne Tincaps game tonight and had the same thing happen with an OFB there. Coincidentally, the WCM from IWX was sitting in the section next to me and we were pointing at our phones and at the line of cumulus to each other and waving it toward us. The people sitting around us probably thought we were nuts.

Toasty

Here's the entire list: https://www.weather.gov/lot/headlines

Per IWX, it was a national blackout affecting all NWS services. Everything's been moved to backup and should be available now.

....and there it is, you beat me to it Joe. I just told my Director to expect some tornado warnings even though SPC doesn't have ANY threat in Marginal risk area.

Mike Ryan at IND mentions the concern of a rotating storm or two tomorrow afternoon in their CWA. However, although SPC mentions it, they keep the low threat much farther south. REMAIN A TOUCH CONCERNED ABOUT A THREAT FOR A FEW CELLS TO ROTATE WITH FAVORABLE HODOGRAPH PROFILES...INCREASED SHEAR AND HELICITY VALUES...AND LCLS LIKELY TO SETTLE NEAR 1000FT...ESPECIALLY BY LATE DAY. OVERALL INSTABILITY LEVELS MAY NOT BE QUITE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT...BUT CONSIDERING THE PRESENCE OF A DEEP TROPICAL AIRMASS AND THAT MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA IS LIKELY TO BE TO THE RIGHT OF THE WEAKENING SURFACE WAVE TRACK WHERE SHEAR MAY BRIEFLY MAXIMIZE...THIS WILL BE SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON TUESDAY.

It looks like you got hit late this afternoon/evening. The rains trained along the boundary just south of me this evening.

It was beginning to get dry up here too, although we've had much more rain in the past couple of weeks than you. We got dumped on last night. The radar under estimated how much fell in this area. How much IMBY? Think pi. Lets play guess where the boundary was:

Ha! 98° is relief. Now that don't have to work outside much, this is my kind of summer weather.

Wow. Sounds like a prolonged recovery. I'm glad that you are feeing well enough to be able to post. I was worried after your original post about the wreck then we didn't hear from you.

Matt Leach, who lurks and sometimes posts on here, made the list of funny things that happen when doing a live weathercast.

I hope that your recovery is going well.

Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent. Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

zzzzzzzzzz

A little good old fashioned bump trolling. Seventh day of 90° here with another likely tomorrow.

Today is the 6th day in a row that FWA hit 90°, a bona fide heat wave. In fact, with tomorrow looking to top 90 again, it will be the longest string of 90's since the incredible 22 straight days in 2012.

Good question. I wondered the same. Maybe the positioning of the ridge and trough is just right in that the lake enhances the already present instability gradient.

Kevin Gregory (WRTV) reported to NWSchat last night that the Muncie temps have been running hot for awhile and one of the mets concurred. I believe they started using missing until the trouble ticket can be processed and the sensor checked out. Still freakin' hot though!

You should change your signature to 89° days at Cox-Dayton

Chicago Storm reporting 2" hail from the storm at Streamwood. I know from experience that will do some damage. I'm getting a new roof due to the May tennis balls.

What?! It's only been sixteen and a half years. lol The mets at that office probably need a refresher on spotting a velocity couplet.

IWX released information on a second, albeit weak tornado near South Bend. It contains an interesting narrative. .SOUTH BEND TORNADO 2... RATING: EF - 0 ESTIMATED PEAK WIND: 65 - 70 MPH PATH LENGTH /STATUTE/: 0.5 MILES PATH WIDTH /MAXIMUM/: 10 YARDS FATALITIES: 0 INJURIES: 0 START DATE: JUN 23 2019 START TIME: 832 PM EDT START LOCATION: 2.7 ESE GULIVOIRE PARK START LAT/LON: 41.5929 / -86.2050 END DATE: JUN 23 2019 END TIME: 836 PM EDT END LOCATION: 2.6 ESE GULIVOIRE PARK END_LAT/LON: 41.5999 / -86.2050 SURVEY SUMMARY: VIDEO FOOTAGE INDICATED A SEPARATE WALL CLOUD OUTSIDE THE PARENT MESOCYCLONE SPAWNED A BRIEF, THIN TORNADO THAT TOUCHED DOWN NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF ROOSEVELT ROAD AND HAWTHORNE TRAIL. WEST FACING BARN DOORS WERE SLIGHTLY PUSHED IN AS THE NARROW CIRCULATION MOVED NORTH ACROSS THE PROPERTY WITH THE ONLY OTHER DAMAGE NOTED OCCURRING TO SMALL BRANCHES ON A NEARBY TREE. THE TORNADO MOVED NORTH AND IMPACTED A OUTDOOR SCREENED STRUCTURE, DESTROYING IT AS WELL AS REMOVING SIDING AND SHINGLES FROM A DETACHED GARAGE. A RESIDENT WAS OUTSIDE AT THE TIME THE TORNADO STRUCK AND HAD TO HOLD ONTO A BEAM AS THE WIND HIT. A DOG WAS PICKED UP A FEW FEET OFF THE GROUND AND CARRIED TO THE SIDE OF THE HOME AND PLACED DOWN, UNHARMED. THE TORNADO THEN LIFTED SHORTLY AFTER THIS, ALSO SUPPORTED BY VIDEO FOOTAGE.

Here's a video from another angle.

I saw it happening but was too busy to post anything about it at the time. NWS didn't put out a warning until spotters reported a funnel cloud. It was right on the warm front. Public Information Statement National Weather Service Northern Indiana 1036 PM EDT Sun Jun 23 2019 /936 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019/ ...Damage Survey Planned for South Bend Indiana Monday June 24... A survey team will meet with St. Joseph County Emergency Management officials on Monday June 24th to assess the extent of the tornado damage near Ironwood and Ireland Roads as well as adjacent areas.
