Gilbertfly Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Tower-ville south of Naperville. The vertical growth is quite amazing to watch constant rumblings to my immediate south being drowned out by locusts and AC units....summertime!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Two counties, and two regional municipalities have been under tornado warnings this afternoon around the Greater Toronto Area. There were very small cells. I caught that and then right as I checked EC's warnings, the tornado warning was in effect for Allistion ON. I'm a bit surprised that they got going this afternoon and then just collapsed very rapidly. I didn't think they were small: Will be watching tomorrow very closely for the big event. I haven't seen one severe storm yet this year, if not tomorrow I'm giving up...until mid-August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDude Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Lots of thunder to my south. Even thunder out of blue skies. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Tomorrow looking a bit iffy for this particular area. Feed of warm air just aloft in from the west with less than ideal surface convergence. Storms are going to go for sure up the line over Michigan, and hopefully back towards northeast IL. Hoping the "unzipping" affect is enough to get some action here on the western end of the setup.

harrisale Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Captured this pano of the tor warned cell today in Ontario. Anvil was massive and really crisp with a bit of mammatus that you can sort of see on the right. Hoping for more tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That's a sweet picture Harrisale! Like the way the low clouds, left of center look. Thanks! It was a last minute chase, one of those watching the radar/sat then realize its something big and run out the door. Storm did not maintain itself very long after this point though, probably another half hour tops. Collapsed very quickly. Like I said beautiful anvil though, one of the best I've been around here in while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the most favorable timing here amongst the models. Will be interesting to see how far back west the storms form. Hopefully the GTA doesn't get training t-storms tomorrow night.

Hoosier Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Noticed this in the 01z outlook: CONSIDERABLE VEERING AND WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE APPEAR TO BE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR LACK OF STRONG CONVECTION ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY THIS EVENING. We're going to have this same issue tomorrow at least in part of the warm sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The 00z SPC WRF looks to have the main round early on and then fires up some scattered activity behind that. The problem is, it is doing an absolutely horrible job with current conditions. Right now it says there should be a huge squall line in MN over to the UP of MI, which is about as far from the truth as you can get. What the SPC WRF does is keeps that stuff going all night and then reinvigorates it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Just got 21Z 4km up on my site. http://lblaforce.com/modelgrafx/laforce.htm?param=compref Great stuff LB. That run right there...my dream for today . Supercell over me at 3:00 pm? Looks like tomorrow will remain a slight risk. Nicely placed tor probs for Ontario: That might actually be a good thing, no jinxing and I find that under-played forecasts over-perform more than the opposite. Those are good probs for us, actually getting excited about it after a dismal severe season for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
