Hoosier Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah, this thing isn't suddenly going to fall apart. It's well-established and moving into an area with good instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 It is beginning to become outflow dominant, but I don't think it will die down before making it through Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yeah, this thing isn't suddenly going to fall apart. It's well-established and moving into an area with good instability. Last few frames on the velocity scan suggest it may be losing some of its punch. Should pass through the metro, but this thing won't be long-tracking to WV.

The_Doctor Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Severe potential look fairly low IMBY; I'm just a wee bit too far north at this point. Look out Chicago! GL guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlover2 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1208 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0548 PM CDT MON JUN 24 2013 AREAS AFFECTED...NW IL...SRN LK MI...NRN IND...SWRN LWR MI CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 354... VALID 242248Z - 250015Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 354 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...SVR MCS CONTINUES ACROSS NW IL WITH CONTINUED SVR WINDS...SOME POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANT...EXPECTED. SVR THREAT WITHIN THE LINE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE EWD ACROSS SRN LK MI AND INTO SWRN LWR MI/NRN IND. AS A RESULT...A DOWNSTREAM WATCH WILL BE NEEDED SHORTLY. DISCUSSION...SVR MCS CONTINUES EWD INTO NW IL /INCLUDING THE CHICAGO METRO AREA/. ESTIMATED MOTION BASED ON RADAR IS 270/49 KT. STRONG TO SVR WINDS HAVE BEEN MEASURED ALONG MUCH OF THE LINE DURING THE PAST HOURS. BASED ON RADAR IMAGERY...THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LINE HAS RECENTLY SURGED EWD...SUGGESTING THE SVR WINDS /SOME POSSIBLE SIGNIFICANT/ SHOULD CONTINUE. THE REAR INFLOW JET WAS SAMPLED WELL BY DVN VAD WITH A LARGE AREA OF FLOW GREATER THAN 50 KT BETWEEN 3 AND 6 KM. RADAR IMAGERY HAS ALSO SHOWN WEAKENING ECHOS IN THE WAKE OF THE LINE...FURTHER CONFIRMING THE PRESENCE OF A WELL-DEVELOPED REAR INFLOW JET. AREA DOWNSTREAM OF THE CURRENT LINE ACROSS NRN IND/SRN LWR MI IS CHARACTERIZED BY TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. CURRENT INDICATIONS FROM VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND MESOANALYSIS ARE THAT THE AREA IS WEAKLY CAPPED WITH ONLY MODEST INSTABILITY /MLCAPE AROUND 1000 J PER KG/. HOWEVER...THE STRENGTH OF THE MCS AND THE PRESENCE OF GOOD LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD FAVOR CONTINUED PROPAGATION INTO THIS AREA. AS SUCH...A DOWNSTREAM WATCH WILL BE NEEDED SOON.

A-L-E-K Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 maybe a new WAA wing getting going across NW IN? Definitely looks like high end potential for Chicago north has declined. Should still have no problem being our best storm of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
