tuanis Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Absolutely incredible light show when this line of training storms built in at about 4 am. Nearly continuous lightning with frequent CG strikes very nearby shaking the walls of the house. The rain came down ridiculously heavy for the first hour, so hard that you could barely see out the window and the gutters were easily outmatched. Barely a whiff of wind. More than 3 hours later, it's still rumbling and raining. This one is just going to sit overhead and rain itself out. Very electric, very wet.

Gilbertfly Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 meso low just west of dekalb? //DISCUSSION...UPDATED 14Z... UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SCT`D SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING HOURS. MORE ORGANIZED LINE OF TSRA SW OF JOT WILL LIFT NE AND LIKELY IMPACT MDW BY AROUND 15Z WITH PERIOD OF +TSRA AND GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE. AS DISTURBANCE MOVES SLOWLY EAST THE COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA WILL PROBABLY DECREASE THIS AFTERNOON. SMALL SFC LOW SW OF RFD LIKELY TO MAINTAIN MOSTLY EASTERLY COMPONENT TO WINDS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS WITH LOW CONFIDENCE ON THE WIND DIRECTION HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON.

Hoosier Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah, tomorrow might be a bit of a sleeper. Low level flow could be better but mid/high level flow looks good. Strong surface heating will be critical given decreasing mid level lapse rates but setup could turn into something halfway decent especially if enough sun.

Chicago Storm Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Quality storms last night. Probably the best of the season thus far. Tight rainfall gradient too...Well under an inch here, compared to 6"+ up in Barrington/Algonquin. Would have been a nice lightning photo op if not for it being around and after 3AM.

andyhb Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Figured that storm would be tornado warned sooner or later. Those more discrete cells to the west are in a pretty good environment (the ones near Vincennes, IN and southeast of Mt. Vernon, IL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I didn't get a drop of rain overnight while areas 30 miles to the south and west are getting hammered.Same here 30 miles north of Detroit.
