Jeez. Haven't turned on my TV or laptop, and everything is hectic. I just saw the radar, it looks so-so. It looks as it's weakening. But it's still will hit with a punch. Maybe a big rain producer? As the rain forecast has been increasing for this week.

Look at velocities, not radar.

Sirens sounding but it's sunny still here so no one is heading indoors or taking it seriously? I heard people saying 'is this a drill?'

Oh boy...

Oh that's not good at all...  If anything, at least they will probably be on a bit of a heads-up mode and they might react quicker when the storm actually starts to roll in.

Yup just a big rain producer. That's why there's a warning for 80+ MPH winds going into the metro.

I'm surprised the warnings aren't scrolling across the screens on the local tv stations. 

 

Expanded warnings extended for the immediate Chicago metro now!

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
510 PM CDT MON JUN 24 2013

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
505 PM CDT

THE MOST FOCUS REMAINS ALONG THE I-88 CORRIDOR AND NORTH AND SOUTH
OF THAT BY AROUND 30 MILES. THE APEX IS MOVING AT A FORWARD SPEED
OF 60+ MPH AND THE MESO-VORTICY NEAR THE DEKALB/LASALLE BORDER HAS
A FAIRLY LONG HISTORY...AFTER WEAKENING SOME FROM BUREAU COUNTY
AND NOW HAS RE-INTENSIFIED. THIS CONTINUES TO BE VERY CLOSE TO A
WEST-TO-EAST BOUNDARY PER EARLIER VISIBLE SATELLITE. 0-3 KM CAPE
FROM SPC RAP OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS HAS VALUES AT 150-175 J/KG...SO
CERTAINLY FAVORABLE FOR STRETCHING ALONG THIS. STILL...THE PRIMARY
WIDESPREAD THREAT REMAINS DAMAGING WINDS PER RADAR AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNATURES.

ON THE LARGE SCALE RADAR AND SATELLITE THIS FORWARD-PROPAGATING MCS
LOOKS VERY WELL-ORGANIZED. THE ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TO BE
FAVORABLE FOR SUSTAINABILITY...WITH DEEP CAPE AT OR IN EXCESS OF
3000 J/KG...STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND ASSOCIATED THETA-E
DIFFERENCE...AND STRONG 0-1 AND 0-3 KM SHEAR ADVECTING EAST WITHIN
THE MCS FOR COLD POOL SUSTAINABILITY.
