Chicago Storm Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Must be nice Chicago Storm!!!! Best storm of the year here (production wise)...and that's not saying much. 89/82 here now. Picked up a quick 0.10" of rain or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Picked up some hail. Most was small, but there were some pennys mixed in. Always pretty cool to see chunks of ice falling from the sky after pushing 100 degrees all afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurora Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Based on the skies to my NW, and recent radar imagery, it appears that convective initiation may be trying to occur across Southern Genesee County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like your cell crapped the bed pretty quickly after it hit that outflow boundary from the previous storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 More cells going up in srn Kane County. Gonna be interesting to watch how that interacts with that east/west outflow boundary. Could act to enhance the severe potential downstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Gonna be interesting to watch how that interacts with that east/west outflow boundary. Could act to enhance the severe potential downstream. Took just two volume scans to get 60 dBZ over 20kft. Must be quite the motion visible with that updraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Took just two volume scans to get 60 dBZ over 20kft. Must be quite the motion visible with that updraft. Storm has to be very happy to have 6000j/kg of surface cape to ingest. Pretty steep mid-level lapse rates as well. EDIT: SPC meso analysis shows 8500j/kg of mixed-layer cape over south-central Iowa.

hm8 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Indeed it is. This was posted on the NBC5 FB page...Looks like I just missed the core. Pretty cool looking stones...

aurora Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Lots of towers trying (and failing) to go up in my vicinity over the last hour. Neat to see stuff try to initiate nearby though, as the majority of our storms just roll in from the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 60 dBZ over 40 kft, now that's some large hail potential. Too bad it is such a moist environment out there, high freezing levels and high dew points will result in a little more melting even of the large hailstones (less evaporational cooling).

OceanStWx Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 By the way, 6856 J/kg on the DVN sounding, but just enough CIN to keep it bottled up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Gonna have to watch that front side of the cell southwest of Valparaiso. The leading edge has caught up to the outflow there and will soon overtake it and be out into undisturbed BL environment. Could start to see some big wind gusts south of Valp down near Kouts and La Crosse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 HRRR also shows a decent looking line of storms moving through SEMI....however it also says that the line should have developed by now and clearly it hasn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest scan just popped up and shows what's likely the beginning of some strong surface winds. North of Hebron the velocities have jumped up at around 3000ft.
