Memphis Weather Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 New warning for Chicago Metro is for 100+ MPH winds. Absolutely justified based on the TORD data. Huge area of 80+ with embedded areas of 100+. Worst right over Wheaton at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 A little side topic but this is the perfect scenario where I'd like to see "siren activation suggested" in the text. You basically have to treat this like a giant tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You basically have to treat this like a giant tornado. I just saw something yesterday from Chicago indicating they blow the sirens for tornadoes and any other extreme weather event. Watching the Wrigley Field cam, hear no sirens. It's packed there. http://www.earthcam.com/usa/illinois/chicago/wrigleyfield/?cam=wrigleyfield_hd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Gusting to 40mph+ here with outflow ahead of the storm. Looks the the best is hitting just south of here, near KDPA. Ended up with a 15min period of 45-50mph gusts. Some very small tree debris down here and there, which is not surprising. No rain was falling or has fallen, so there were numerous dust devils on the baseball fields where I was watching the storm. Pics to come later.

Geos Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I can see the outflow boundary heading up this way. A bit hazy to see the storm to the south. Noticed some towering cumulus WSW of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You basically have to treat this like a giant tornado. Yeah, just what I was thinking. I know JAN (Jackson, MS) puts that in wording when storms are capable of winds 80mph+.
