What's everyone's thoughts on this evenings/tonight's development back out in Western Iowa? Seems like hi-res models have consistently been showing another major mcs blowing up and charging east/southeast overnight.

 

I think it's a pretty safe bet that something goes up to the west in Iowa, I do suspect it will track southwest of Chicago and follow the current complex through north central illinois....but who knows maybe the llj can help us out.

There's enough shear that there's a decent chance for some more mesovorticies along the leading edge of the complex.  They seem to have a tendency to steer things a bit to the left (north), so that's something to consider as well.

yeah, i'm not overly confident either way with the overnight evolution other than that we'll see a large and mostly non-severe heavy rain maker in the region because that's what the pattern has delivered for quite a few nights in a row. A large mature MCS diving to my southeast isn't idea but we're still bringing plenty to the table.

Quite a bit of damage in my hometown of Munster, Indiana from the storms yesterday evening. Row of 8-10 power poles were blown over just down the street from my mom. Trees/limbs knocked down in a relatively narrow path in the central/northern stretch of town. Whatever it was had to be producing winds upwards of 80 mph in that narrow zone. Hope to get some pics to post later.

 

 

Here are the pics.  Taken by my mom. 

 

 

Trees down.  That blue thing to the right is a large umbrella that was blown over there from the public pool that you see behind the fence.

Was just noticing that myself. Looks like things trying to get going there. The next few scans might tell the tale.

I'm also wondering if the storms currently sw of PIA arching up to Burlington might develop northeastward and be of interest to northeastern IL as the evening progresses and the LLJ develops.

I don't think so.  Looks like a long night for training for the Champaign area.

 

Disturbance in Iowa is getting close and should also track along the I74 corridor

Most likely. Increasingly agitated CU from that W. IL activity up into NE. IA. ...and another area in C. IA.
