its not that i'm writing off the chance of svr, wouldn't surprise me at all to see some wind damage across western mi with temps still in the 70s keeping some instablity around, its just what could have been if the storms were a few hours quicker, if something could have went up ahead of the cold front, etc. When you see numbers like ehi of 8, supercell comp. of 28, and sig. tornado number of 6-8 you just kinda hang your head and think if only.......

edit: to clear things up a little, yes with those numbers things could go boom in a big way once the storms reach land, but to me nighttime tornadoes are useless because A: they don't provide the photographic element that i want on a storm/tornado and B: they are 10x more dangerous to chasers/spotter/general population.

Holy crap, I didn't even notice the sig tors and EHI's in MI...lol

Pretty frustrating day for us. We followed the storms from initiation in northeast Iowa, but the horrible road network and lack of bridge crossings really screwed us today. If it wasn't for our great day yesterday this would have really been a downer. Still managed a few wall cloud shots before the storms scooted away into Wisconsin.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0404

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1103 PM CDT SUN APR 10 2011

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF SRN LWR MI...NWRN IND...CNTRL AND ERN IL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 110403Z - 110530Z

SEVERE POTENTIAL MAY REMAIN SOMEWHAT SPARSE IN COVERAGE...BUT TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF AN INCREASING SEVERE THREAT THAT COULD REQUIRE A WW.

STRONGER SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEEPENING CYCLONE ARE SHIFTING INTO ONTARIO...WITH STRONGEST MID/UPPER FORCING FOR UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION. HOWEVER...LARGE-SCALE ASCENT AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH AXIS TRAILING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY HAS STRENGTHENED SUFFICIENTLY TO SUPPORT INCREASING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN A NARROW BAND AHEAD OF AN EASTWARD ADVANCING COLD FRONT. IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT THIS ACTIVITY IS ROOTED IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER...WHICH IS SLOWLY STABILIZING... BUT WEAK TO MODERATE CAPE AND PRECIPITABLE WATER UP TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS OVERNIGHT. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE DEEP LAYER MEAN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN WHICH THE STORMS ARE EMBEDDED /IN EXCESS OF 50 KT/...AND SIZABLE SUB-CLOUD TEMPERATURE/DEW POINT SPREADS EVIDENT IN 00Z RAOBS AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS...STORMS PROBABLY WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE RISK FOR AT LEAST LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

It seemed like the storm became more progressive in nature and never really got the negative tilt that the models were forecasting earlier in the week.

The conditions for a classic tornado outbreak really didn't line up well. BUT there were still some spectacular events caught on video.

Other than a rain shower around midnight. there was nothing.

Tornado watches stopped short of the Chicago metro area. Apparently that warm air "cap" was way too much to be overcome. It also appeared, via radar, that any storms that tried to develop due west of me, were getting sheared apart....

Kind of a let down, I guess...

Gabrielson...doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, you're not supposed to get under the freaking wall cloud of a storm already producing a tornado.

From what I saw yesterday, alot of chasers are plain reckless. We saw chasers stopped a mile in front of a supercell and it was moving 70-75 mph towards them. Tons of hail and dangerous winds probably ruined their day. And it dropped a tornado like 30 minutes later...

Here are a few shots from Sunday's chase...

We were on the move most of the time, so I didn't end up with any spectacular shots. The best storm structure we saw came with what was previously the La Crosse tornadic supercell as it approached the Appleton, WI area...it eventually went on to produce a tornado just east of Appleton, in Kaukauna, WI.

When u guys were out there did u stop and meet the other chasers? How many were out there? just curious. Thanks.

There was quite a bit of people out on saturday and alot of the "well known" chasers made the trek up to IA.

We met up with Adam Lucio and Danny Neal for awhile and shot the breeze with them for about an hour in IA before we left and decided to go a bit further west right before CI took place.
