Thundersnow12 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Suddenly interested in Friday around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Iowa starting to light up, hopefully we see a decent MCS develop and get some coma head action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, nice writeup. LOT makes a good point about the moist air...the 12z ILX ob had dewpoints around 15C up through 850 mb which is pretty impressive especially for May. Given the moist low levels and all the clouds limiting heating today, instability should be very slow to drop off tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 yeah, nice disco, not surprised to read they are favoring south closer to I80. Should see some decent training down that way. yeah....kept waiting for the moisture transport to chill out today, but it really never shut off...PWAT's have been trending back up...CAPE increasing still despite the cloud cover as well...looks to be a noisy night with a nice chance at some interesting wind threats....as you said, coma would make things even more interesting EDIT: Meso maintenance looks pretty solid as well leading in front of what's developing in N Mizzu and S Iowa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Near 80 degree temps now getting to I-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Rocketing upward 76 when I got in 20 minutes ago now 79/67 and filtered sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Sitting at 78/70 here...very thick feeling. Our sunshine is probably going to get cutoff soon. This thick air is concerning...low lcl's and/or heavy rain potential again...not needed. Best potential here for severe seems focused on muscatine, aledo, burlington, geneseo, and washington iowa area I think. We'll see... Thursday looking interesting.

Stebo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Rocketing upward 76 when I got in 20 minutes ago now 79/67 and filtered sunshine. Make that 81/67, honestly I am quite surprised how quickly the temps have rose in the last 80 minutes. Up 9 degrees since 3PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I worked a morning shift today at LOT. Expecting to get called back in to help out in a few hours. The temperatures rising to the 70s/near 80 despite all the cloud cover is a testament to the quality of the air mass, one we've pretty rarely seen in place with good shear since I've been out here. We'll see what happens. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers09 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Finally seeing some breaks in the clouds on the far east side, however that annoying training line of convection keeps blowing clouds back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 78/66 here IMBY. Filtered sunshine. I keep thinking of Utica IL 4/20/04 whenever there's the possibility of severe storms connected with warm fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Given the mid level lapse rates moving in aloft, explosive updraft development along that boundary is more than enough for some tornadic potential. That's also going to lead to some awfully large hail. Mesoanalysis is already showing CAPE in the -10 to -30 C layer approaching 1000 J/kg across southeastern IA. Of course, not needed is the deep, moist air mass. Warm cloud depths approaching 12 kft and storms training along that boundary will produce some efficient heavy rainfall.

I keep thinking of Utica IL 4/20/04 whenever there's the possibility of severe storms connected with warm fronts. As I recall that wasnt a particular warm day, around 70, but it was very humid with lots of instability South of that storm feeding into it.

We have clouded back over here, although I can see more clearing to the West of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Cell SW of Charlotte looks like it is trying to go, rotation has increased in the last few frames and it is developing a hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Man, lots of stations in southeast IA with dews in the low 70's now. Too bad we couldn't of got temps into the upper 80's today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Up to 75/68 now. Air is definitely "thick". Looks like some more sun breaks working there way into NC IL now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Cell SW of Charlotte looks like it is trying to go, rotation has increased in the last few frames and it is developing a hook. That storm should be warned soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Cell SW of Charlotte looks like it is trying to go, rotation has increased in the last few frames and it is developing a hook. Now Severe warned for Eaton and Ingham Counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
