Hoosier Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 In areas where dewpoints have mixed out into the mid/upper 60s, there may be a window this evening post-sunset where CAPE stabilizes or even increases a bit as some of the daytime mixing is lost and dews increase.

Indystorm Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yep, those storms starting to form in WI and IA and moving east are the ones I hope to develop into a line with action after 00z this evening as they move eastward. As Hoosier said earlier, the front was still pretty far north and this looks to be a night show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Did the cold front slow down or something? Really didn't hear much about this possibly being a night show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Unbelievable. As the line was about 20 miles west of here all these storms blew up over head Kitchener/Waterloo and this massive storm came together with the line. A legit wall cloud over the centre of the city formed and was spinning around, and I guess it could of produced but was undercut. Right as it was coming over the winds ripped and everything started flying away. We were in the basement so fast! Grabbed my laptop, grabbed the dog and we were gone. Right when we got down there the power went out and it was black. Was a thundering roar for minutes. The city is a mess right now. Huge trees down, hydro lines down, a lot of bad damage. Took a quick tour around I've never seen such damage here before. Roads are closed, cars crushed, fences smashed, gazebos blown over... etc! The airport about 6 miles southeast of here clocked winds at 74mph. It could have been close to 80mph up here. That was insanity. Got loads of pictures I can upload later. *wall cloud was confirmed by professional storm chasers with photo evidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Did the cold front slow down or something? Really didn't hear much about this possibly being a night show.It was always going to be an evening/night frontal passage.The issue was many of the models last evening showed the main show being the pre-frontal trough earlier in the day...which obviously wasn't the case.

RobertSul Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Man, got off work and drove home from Troy. Up in Troy the storm hit pretty hard... actually heard debris thunking against the trunk of my car, stoplights were swaying, trees bending. A few vivid bolts of lightning, too. Interesting thing was that the wind hit about 20 minutes before the first drop of rain... and even then sand, twigs, and papers were flying. The wind became more fierce when the rain came down... and boy was it pouring! Couldn't see more than 50 feet in front of me at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Not that I've ever nidpicked about watches but its odd DTX didnt go with a watch for the southern portion of the area. Alot of the action the last few hours has been in the area not under a watch. Had two warned storms already roll through with a third on the way here in macomb.

stormtrackertf Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Convection firing all around me, but not a drop of rain IMBY so far. Just windy with some thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Well, I got a couple rumbles of thunder and a weak sauce heavy downpour that lasted about 5 minutes (30 MPH outflow winds from the severe t'storms that passed to the north). Better than nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
