LizardMafia Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah, whole lot of nothing.. About 3-4 mins of rain, and a little wind.. Just would like to have what LAF had.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Got some trees down in the Hamilton/Madison county line area, near Lapel. No idea on the size or health of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman_ind Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I'm certainly jealous of the rain, but not of the 60+mph wind gusts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Sitting in the town square when a friendly officer strolled up notifying us of a Severe TStorm warning for us for hail to quarters amd winds to 60. A surprise to a pleasant afternoon, but guessed something was up with building cumulus to the north for the last hour or so. Polygon looks to take the worst south of us but debating walk home before we get rained on or ducking into sbucks to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Had a nice storm here. Torrential rain, winds to at least 40mph and a good bit of thunder and lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojitodd Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Had a nice storm here. Torrential rain, winds to at least 40mph and a good bit of thunder and lightning. About what I just had here. No hail, but torrential rains and some decent winds, not too much thunder and lightning though. I am loving these good old fashioned torrential rains that are coming regularly-very little need to water anything and everything is green and lush despite the heat.

cyclone77 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Did a quick time lapse of the storm that passed to the north a bit earlier. It later weakened and completely fizzled out. Was hoping the stuff to the west (left) would take off, but it never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Very impressive bowing line segment plowing through northern Nebraska. yes i agree. it is such a compact system. i def see this being a long lived wind event. may start to lose its steam as it heads far east but the shortwaves should aid some in maintaining storms. last night i got hit from the decaying bow and MCV that tracked through Iowa. a line backbuilded SW of the main complex and went through my area. i had a red core pass over my house but the weird thing is, i barely got any rain. However, I did have 40-50mph winds for several minutes. kinda makes me think there was some dry air aloft evaporating the rain causing some downbursts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Very impressive bowing line segment plowing through northern Nebraska. with a few circulations aloft on the leading edge of the northern part of the bow up around Butte, can def see them looping velocity.

baroclinic_instability Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 with a few circulations aloft on the leading edge of the northern part of the bow up around Butte, can def see them looping velocity. Yeah I saw that too, another one developing right now. The interaction early in the loop ( 3-4 hours ago) between that supercell and the pre-existing line segment was interesting to watch develop.

Thundersnow12 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Haven't looked much at it but the 18z GFS does look good for storms in IA/IL this coming friday with a 50kt mid-level jet punching into 70 dews and MLCAPE values >3000 j/kg. Still days away but something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shear associated with the embedded wave and the veering/increasing LLJ through the nite are supportive of that, and the increasing trends with this line segment, the substantial and impressive cold pool it has developed, and favorable upstream soundings also support that.

baroclinic_instability Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Pretty amazing...that outflow from the MCS across northern NE has made it all the way to North Platte. It just went through here, and storms just initiated along it to the east as the LLJ begins to ramp up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just went through here, and storms just initiated along it to the east as the LLJ begins to ramp up. this is one of the most dynamic bows i have seen. it is such a compact system with a tight circulation. wouldnt be surprised to see some tor reports, esp as the LLJ ramps up. it was amazing watching this evolved. supercells were being pulled into the line segment and remained semi-discrete for a while embedded in the line and finally the whole thing consolidated. very photogenic on radar presentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. the environment is very supportive all the way to DSM. after that it gets a lil iffy. the wind shear is still decent however cape is dropping off pretty quick. only 1000J/kg here in central il. but with the speed of this thing and a strong cold pool, it may be able to make it through. the theta e axis becomes more undefined the farther east it gets so not sure how this will effect its direction. it looks like it will take a gradual SE turn based on the way the gradient slopes.

Chicago WX Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Recently updated day 1 outlook, sliced and diced a bit, or refined if you will. GENERAL MID/UPPER LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHERN PLAINS DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS...LEADING TO SLIGHTLY MORE CYCLONIC FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS TREND RESULTED IN A MORE ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER DAY YESTERDAY...AND APPEARS LIKELY TO PRODUCE MULTIPLE AREAS OF RISK TODAY. HOWEVER...DUE TO MESOSCALE DETAILS...HAVE OPTED TO BREAK LARGE SLIGHT RISK AREA INTO SMALLER THREAT ZONES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
