Today is one year since the violent Benton county supercell which I have in my avatar. I normally wouldn't use the word violent for something that didn't drop a tornado but I think it's warranted in this case.

I remember watching that thing happen live on radar and hearing the reports come in.

Quite a bit of lightning off to the west right now. These weak elevated storms are more electric than I thought they'd be.

I'm going to stay up a bit longer and see what they do when they head into a less unstable environment and lower dew points. No matter what it looks like a period of some good rains.

There is a tremendous amount of lightning with the storms around Galesburg.

By the way, it's interesting the watch the whole rain/storm complex rotate around the associated vort.

Yeah this has evolved into a huge complex over the past few hours. Looks like several hours of light to moderate rain for much of northern Illinois following the weak convection on the leading edge.

Still getting lots of cloud to cloud lightning, but luckily no CG action.

probably getting wind gusts here to 25mph or so.

btw very cool at how many different storm motion directions in this loop

That's pretty sweet. I like the north/south band of convection out in central Iowa moving in for effect.

Picked up almost 0.40" of rain over the past 15 minutes.

Intersting link and no surprise, it seems that winters and springs have been cloudier and colder of late minus last spring and falls have been warmer and sunnier. Looks like the monthly euro wants to bake us this fall....great news to compensate for the loss of spring this year. Hopefully this can last into Dec...

Euro had been showing heat early next week followed by a pretty deep, cool trough, but the last couple runs have been backing off of both. Today's 12z keeps the front over the area with the real heat mostly staying south. This scenario would mean more heavy rain for areas around here that don't need any. After the heavy rain this morning we are up to about 5 inches in the last week and some locations south of me have received much more.
