Geos Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Watching the storms approach from the south and west. Rain is almost here into Lake County. Rain gauge is ready! Just heard some thunder... Storm over near Ottawa, IL area is heading straight into Chicago. Putting down 1.5" of rain in its path. Some really cold clouds tops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Had a nice lightning show and a pretty good dose of rain. That's just the refresher course for you. LaCrosse may well be ground zero tomorrow for sup development with enough shear to cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hmmm, latest NAM pops some 570m thickness values around Toledo later today, even despite the slighty slower warming trend this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Storms last night dumped some healthy rain totals across the area! About 1.73" of rain here, with up to 2.4" of rain in the county in isolated spots. I think the grass grew an inch overnight! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Nothing better than night time thunderstorms, picked up 0.70 inches during the night. Today should be an interesting day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Better then expected around here with the storms earlier. Ended up with almost a inch and a half ( 1.46 ) of rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Meh, some more storms are moving in. Hopoefully this doesn't disrupt our 80*F potential today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm not sure how much instability can happen under these cloudy conditions in NE IL. Temperatures are supposed to be in the upper 70s - sitting at 70° right now. < The current wx condition indicator to the left is a joke! No sun here. Tor Con is 7 by DLL.

SpartyOn Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Warm front is plowing through with some soaking non severe storms. Good news is how fast it's traversing the area. Wondering how much convective debris will be left to deal with once this garbage passes. Hopefull that we cap solid here by 2pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It really sucks I have no radar... MSP can just barely catch this area, same with MKE... Going to be blind when a couple of F5's come screaming across the Mississippi River. 69F/60F.... so its plenty moist...crazy that areas NW of Duluth could see 7 inches of snow tonite.

My understanding that spotter/chaser visibility is hampered due to terrain in that area. However, NWS will really have rely on their reports on warning decisions in the area of limited radar coverage . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, NWS will really have rely on their reports on warning decisions in the area of limited radar coverage . If chasers could stay up on the ridge tops, the views are good. Hopefully if something develops in that area, a storm chase team with a mobile radar unit can beam back some radar images and give everyone a heads up! Temperatures have stalled out here with cloud cover. Been sitting in the low 70s since 11am or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnweather Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 How much you expecting up there?! NWS is saying 2-5", some isolated higher amounts as well. They are expecting some pretty intense rates so things should stick if it comes to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Wow. Warm front stalled just north of me. I'm at 74.2. Sheboygan is 63. Manitowoc is 48. Sucks to be them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Metro Airport has made it to 78*F, despite mainly cloudy skies (there's a break in the cirrostratus, now stratocumuluis has developed below it). Cloud trends couldn't be any worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
