Jonger Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Great footage and pics of the lake MI action. Have to love this time of year. Low clouds have moved in here and the temps are responding downward. Looking forward to this weekends free AC. Things look to heat up next week and beyond. Mid 70s? I'm animating models for the next 15 days and I don't see much warmth east of the Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I mean...Damn. Good lord that's huge. Closely matches some of the photos I saw from people observing at Pleasant Prairie. Down in the upper 60s now, feels great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This is a remarkable shot I found on Skilling's FB page. View from the Midwest Cancer Treatment Hospital in Zion. Robert Kerans. Same source. Tim Frey posted this on Tom's wall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I mean...Damn. Yeah that would have probably been a very destructive tornado on land, I mean that is easily over a 1/4 mile wide combined with the video showing the violent motion within the funnel.

Geos Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Views right after the tornadic cell passed from Kenosha, WI. First picture is the storm from the stateline at the time it was producing the "wedge". Just as the 2nd wave came in. Choppy lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Mid 70s? I'm animating models for the next 15 days and I don't see much warmth east of the Mississippi. 12z GFS showing 18c+ temps pushing east of the Mississippi by D6 and by thursday we could be pushing 2m temps in the 80s.

wisconsinwx Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Mid 70s? I'm animating models for the next 15 days and I don't see much warmth east of the Mississippi. Possibly low 80s on days with sun and when convection doesn't materialize, not the extreme heat much of the western part of this subforum has experienced on and off the last few weeks. Still, low 80s with more humidity will feel warm after this four or five day cool period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 62℉ and the rain should wrap up soon. Feels great outside.... Probably going to golf 18 holes tomorrow. I rarely golf in June, July or August.

cyclone77 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The wide angle pics Geos posted from Skilling's fb page are outstanding. I'm not usually into the whole waterspout thing, but today was extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not usually into the whole waterspout thing, but today was extremely impressive. About 3 months ago those pictures would not have been possible from Zion. That 5 story parking garage is really new. Great view of the storm from up there. Should have driven there or a bit further south along the lake front to avoid the rain shafts.

Jonger Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Dynamics of a water-spout are the same as a tornado right? Just a better heat source for mixing? I really haven't read much into water-spouts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really haven't read much into water-spouts . Yes similar dynamics. September is prime time for Waterspouts. Now is when you have the mild air sitting right above the lake and cooler and cooler air masses coming across and creating instability. The wind profile helped to really get a big circulation going today. There was winds clashing right over Kenosha from the NNE and westerly winds.

Same here, unless it results in some good t'storms that afternoon or evening. In my book that's the only thing hot and humid weather is good for, unless it is one of my rare days spent at the beach.

Powerball Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Just got some pretty nice winds with the storms blowing through now (using storms loosely, not much thunder). I'd say around 45 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers09 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Nice surprise storm passed through. Even had a bit of lowering and a ragged wall cloud. Decent. Shook the car. Really exploded over Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 About 65°/54° here. Few stray showers about to move in. Looks like the lake effect Skilling was talking about. Should have said, few stray downpours. Managed to get some measurable rain today afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just one large waterspout over the course of the video but 2. Really some impressive stuff.

Geos Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 That long 11:38 video was awesome! I was probably down at that spot between 10:30 and the end, just as it was disappearing. Hopefully there's more setups for waterspouts this month! Down to 60°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoaster Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Only a high of 55 forecast for tomorrow, well below normal for toronto. Saturday morning supposed to dip into the mid 30s! What a contrast from the last two days in the low 90s.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Nice surprise storm passed through. Even had a bit of lowering and a ragged wall cloud. Decent. Shook the car. Really exploded over Canada. That storm ended up intensifying over Lake Erie and dropping quarter sized hail up the shoreline east of Cleveland. For a bit of a while it had a nice mini-bow with it but I haven't seen any reports of wind damage crop up yet. Temperatures were dropping into the low 60's as it moved inland so a surface inversion may have limited how strong the winds got at ground level. Cool stuff. Edit: Some trees downed east and NE of Cleveland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
