Indystorm Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 at stockton il....stay or head further south Farther south to Rock River, Whiteside county area....I-80 special Clinton to Sterling looks good at the moment by I-88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornadotony Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Complex looks like it's weakening a bit but in reality I think is just building south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Complex looks like it's weakening a bit but in reality I think is just building south. Yeah you can see a nice outflow boundary on radar from around Tipton down to west of Muscatine. Been keeping an eye on that line for new updraft development but none so far.

Indystorm Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 On the composite radar loop you can really see the curvature on that MCV in eastern IA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been keeping an eye on that line for new updraft development but none so far. New robust updrafts east of Tipton now on the south side of the line. Also as Tony pointed out some storms quickly taking off down by Mt. Pleasant. Things taking shape very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Saw the Iowa MCS coming a mile away...potent fort with that thing from the get go. Clearly atmosphere recovery was not an issue and general trajectory looks more or less the same as the previous...maybe a hair south. Should get a boost during the overnight when the llj kicks in as well. EDIT: this is my last totally free friday of the night...so i'll be drinking beers, listening to tunes and posting all night, so post away guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Only a trace of rain in Waukegan from the complex at midday today. But these very cool clouds were visible! 84°/64° so far today. Morning was much cooler than forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 thanks Indystorm...I decided to just go ahead and park....not too many swift north/southers here....got a nice hill top with a SW view...also notice some things perculating a bit to the immediate west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Could be one of those rare times when the same areas get hit by two solid MCS's within 24 hours Sure looks that way...it actually works out like this quite a lot in this type of pattern...especially when the wave timing is just right to allow the convectively disturbed front to return back to it's original location and you have enough time for things to recover.

Chicago Storm Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Quad Cities MCS is really struggling. New development farther south has already been undercut by outflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 You think it's gonna re organize? The cell near Clinton is right on the leading edge of the gust front and appears to be propagating forward. Keep waiting for that thing to ramp back up and become severe again but so far it hasn't happened. Morrison over towards Dixon (basically all along I-88) could be in for some severe if it can get a little better organized. Really don't see any reason why it couldn't.

cyclone77 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Can see the updraft region to the west now here. Looks very impressive. Looks a lot better than it does on radar. Could be a sign this thing is about to take off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm sitting in Rock Falls right now Very good spot. This thing is definitely ramping up again. The next several scans on radar should look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Believe me guys, this thing is not weakening. Looks incredible to the west right now. Nice striations. Wish I would have gone outside town and got a time lapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 One possible issue for the MCS could be a southward moving boundary, which has now made it as far south as I-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Lost power for a while, despite the fact that this storm was oddly tame. The meat of the storm on radar moved right over my house, but all we got was a tiny bit of tiny hail at the beginning with some gusts to 40-50 mph. I kept waiting for the severe 70-80 mph wind gusts, but they never came. There was also not much thunder/lightning. Did get a nice 0.50+" rain out of it. Every little bit counts this year.
