00z NAM has pretty good low level wind fields tomorrow in an arc around the low. Don't remember seeing them this strong on previous runs. Even if it's a bit overdone, looks like another shot of brief spinups though farther east than what we've seen the past couple days.

A friend from Central IL passed this along to me, this is someone he knows storm spotting. Tornado video from Near Cuba IL, interestingly enough, it doesn't look like there was any storm reports in that area. There was however a tornado warning for that time in that area.

ILX page on the tornadoes. They have confirmed 9.

http://www.crh.noaa....=86969&source=0

pretty impressive for that far north on a tropical sys.. in this 1950-2007 look there are none in IL. http://t.co/NtHYetxx

about 20 confirmed so far now in u.s. -- tho new orleans and mobile havent reported yet (that i can tell) so could be ~50?

An event like this makes one wonder how many tornadoes have been missed over the years. There are not as many remnant storms that have affected IL as other areas but it's very hard to believe that there were no tropical tornadoes during that stretch.

yeah im sure .. i recently looked at northern gulf systems during the doppler era partly because as you get further back the numbers are not close if you compare to what we see now. http://www.ustornadoes.com/2012/08/27/tornadoes-from-northern-gulf-of-mexico-hurricanes-and-tropical-storms/

i don't know my hurricane climo that well but it is probably somewhat unusual to get remnants to get up into that area and then sorta sit and spin. one main reason Isaac might go down with a hefty number is that it's been around for a week now.

Good point. This one probably had a longer window of opportunity farther north than most systems.
