Justin Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Major winds when I was in Il tending to business. Scattered wind damage across area. Hearing more severe damage reports in muscatine county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 If I were chasing tomorrow, which unfortunately I'm not because I'd have to chase alone and I think we will start moving equipment off the farm because the river is coming up something fierce I'd probably go to Springfield in the morning and see what happens. From there you have great mobility in just about every direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Nice bow in western IL. MCS maintenance parameters indicate it should remain fairly healthy up to the Chi-town region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 One thing I will note for tomorrow, there will be a ton of boundaries around the area, with all these storms about today outflow boundaries will be numerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 several outflow boundaries visible on LOT radar over Will, DuPage and Cook counties heading westward toward the approaching bow line. Maybe an explosion where they meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 several outflow boundaries visible on LOT radar over Will, DuPage and Cook counties heading westward toward the approaching bow line. Maybe an explosion where they meet? They will probably weaken them. Anyway, I am at least hoping for some good vantage points of the approaching storms with the setting sun just above or behind them.

wisconsinwx Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Tornado Watch expanded east, I understand the watch expanded east, but should have been a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Maybe a brief tornado isn't out of the question, but by and large, I don't think the shear is anything special, and with the line being linear, a STW would have covered it.

wisconsinwx Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 A couple of cells forming off the outflow boundary (which is probably a lake breeze, as temps dropped and winds shifted at Waukegan). Looks like everything is converging on the likes of Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee. Will be interesting to see what happens with all these cells/line segments.

Chitown Storm Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I can see the dark clouds of the bow line approaching from the west. It's about 40 miles from me now. Looks like a beast. The winds are howling, now from the ESE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHI_Weather Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 From looking at the radar, it seems as the squall line lost energy. I notice that it breaks in two when nearing Chicago. It probably will be a big rainmaker, with maybe thunder. I don't really see a wind threat, as of now. Also what do you guys think about tomorrow for the Chicago area? It seems like we missed every good storm thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
