Powerball Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The LLJ (bold red lines) is nosing into our area. Looks like it could be a fairly stormy evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 It looks like tomorrow will a typical severe day in Northern IN and Southern MI. Start out with storms, then clouds hanging around until afternoon. I start getting phone calls and texts calling bust. Too cloudy and not very warm. Suddenly the WF blasts through, the sun comes out, it gets humid and finally the line blows through. Then I get to call and text back, saying "Ye of little faith." It's happened more times than I can remember. With the strong wind field and the mid-level drying expected during the day tomorrow, there's a good chance we see a fair amount of sun. I'm surprised the storms are managing to get so far north today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah that DVN disco was asinine. Makes me almost ashamed to live in the DVN area lol. Will be heading down into central IL or east-central IL tomorrow. I think us folks in Champaign-Urbana are sitting pretty for tomorrow! Under a tornado watch until midnight. Wow, what a wet spring.

cyclone77 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think us folks in Champaign-Urbana are sitting pretty for tomorrow! Under a tornado watch until midnight. Wow, what a wet spring. Yeah your area looks pretty good actually. Many of the models are probably accurately showing a NE/SW oriented outflow/rain cooled boundary setting up somewhere over central IL tomorrow. Wherever that ends up and where it intersects the incoming cold front is likely where we'll be. Think that will be the best area for tornadoes. At this point I'm thinking we'll end up somewhere in the Litchfield to Decatur area south of Springfield. Hopefully the morning convection doesn't shove everything too far southeast, or I won't go. Gotta be back for work Fri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMADreamer Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The storm that is hitting Quincy right now did damage in Missouri. We in the Quincy area are lucky we have two pretty good Mets on the local TV station. They are knocking this coverage out of the park right now.

cyclone77 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Kind of an unusual looking band of elevated storms blasting through central Iowa. Winds have gusted up to 40mph from a westerly direction, opposite of the ambient winds with that line. The line of storms is not surface based, but the winds are making it to the ground, which is sort of unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what that convection does, the warm front's going to come north as that low pressure center "bombs" out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want it to come north as a cloudy worked over mess. Anyways, it looks like the surface low itself is still way down over Texas.
