Chitown Storm Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 just turned on the WGN news.....didn't even know about the flooding in Chicago. Where did that come from?? The time lapse of the radar is pretty cool to see. That was a slow moving train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Great storm down here. We're going on 90 minutes of continuous lightning. Also 1.87" at the VU Met dept. PWS from the storm (1.97" on the day.) Unfortunately power's out in my apartment, and the first Dynamics exam is tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Definitely the best storm I've seen in a year! Has been raining over 2 hours. Between 2.5-3" so far according to radar estimates.

cyclone77 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Chicago's been killin' it the last several weeks. At least compared to surrounding areas. Picked up 0.07" from an elevated micro shower earlier. Hopefully the storms that get going in Iowa later today can make it in here before crapping the bed.

Geos Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Getting a strong outflow in wake of the t-storm activity pushing off to the east. Winds have been pushing 30 mph. Temperature and dewpoint has come down in the last hour. Wondering if the old outflow boundaries will be a focus for t-storm activity as the front approaches later.

hawkeye_wx Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The first two little clusters of storms just missed me today, but the central Iowa stuff is lookin' mean. I want good rain, but I don't want the wind damage being reported across the Des Moines area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Probably would have had near record highs today, but the lake enhanced OFB kept things in check for the immediate metro area. Far NW/W/SW areas are near or in the 90's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
