Indystorm Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think my prior expectations of seeing a squall line overnight are fizzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Glad I got the half inch of rain Saturday morning, because it doesn't look like more then a trace for today! Outflow boundary is moving through here now, temps lowering. 10° drop since 8pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 SPC discussing a watch for western lower MI... http://www.spc.noaa..../md/md0947.html Edit: Could sure stand some rain. It's getting pretty dry around here considering there were floods from over 6" of rain just a few weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurora Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Although the LLJ should be kicking in by now, everything seems to be breaking up. Starting to doubt we see much overnight here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Getting a ton of convection tonight, seems to be more bark than bite though. Seems we've picked up at least an inch, but MKX radar tends to underestimate amounts I think, and it only indicates somewhere on the order of 0.3-0.5". Was fun watching the storm from my garage, unfortunately many partygoers up the street had to make a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 SN report...not something you see everyday in IL. "Haboob with intense wind gusts at or around 70 mph. Several strong gustnadoes also observed." LOL. I don't know about strong gustnadoes, but man there was an insane amount of dust being carried out ahead of that storm. After I evacuated from my time lapse perch west of town I booked back east and was in the middle of what seemed like a dust storm. Sure wish I could have got that on video but left the other location in such a hurry the vid camera was still attached to the tripod. Think I got a badass time lapse of the evolution of that beast of a storm as it blew through Port Byron with 70+mph winds on its way towards Erie. Power just came back on here after being out for over 6hrs. Had winds on the order of 60-70mph for at least 5 minutes. Lots of tree damage throughout town. Despite having at least 8 trees in my yard I escaped with only light tree damage for a change. This was hands down my favorite storm I've seen hit here since I've been here from back in '06. Should have some badass time lapse video to show you guys in the next day or two. EDIT: One of the chasers in the area captured the dust storm quite well...

Sounds like you had the worst severe weather of the sub forum today. That was some outflow on that thunderstorm. I've seen dust get kicked out ahead of thunderstorms before, but mostly in more arid areas of the country! Look forward to seeing your videos in the days to come.

Boogieman Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wow! I guess you could call that a "dust front" right there. That's just unreal. Our weather is becoming more odd by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Posting this pretty late, but that squall line that came through this afternoon dumped some pea sized hail where I was on campus. 0.6" of rain and gusts up to 40 mph as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyOn Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Some would hope that verifies other not. May currently running well under 1.5 inches below normal for precip. If this doesn't produce it starts June off on the wrong foot. Something tells me that 4tenths of an inch wont cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the same boat down here. 2.66" in the past 2 months and I picked up a whopping .05" this morning. My point is that there looks to be a pattern change and multiple chances of precip for this area in the next week. We'll see if it pans out.

Line that came through last night was really hit and miss on the southern extent. Just as I suspected. A lot small cells producing frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and strong wind gusts, but next to non-existent trailing stratiform. GRR got just under half an inch from a single cell while my back yard managed less than a tenth, despite a really loud light show and a couple intense gusts of wind.

I think you are going to end up with more than .4" come Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 T-Storm chances look interesting on Friday. We shall see how this plays out. If we had more instability in place I would be interested in this as the strength of the low and the wind fields are pretty good as is the low track. That being said, the better chances of anything significant would be Ohio/Pennsylvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
