Where exactly is the stadium?  Looks like the portion of the cell with the strongest rotation may slide east of the actual city?  

It's on the SE side of downtown, on the lakefront. I don't think the tornado is going to go downtown, but they're about to get winds and hail any moment.

Really interested to see how this activity unfolds as it continues to slide eastward towards Indiana.  The atmosphere is taking a bit of time destabilizing and mesoanalysis still shows a decent amount of CIN over the area.  However, steeper mid level lapse rates are advecting into that area which will certainly boost in instability values but it appears dewpoints are slightly lower as well over IN as compared to areas a bit further west, however, they seem to be creeping up.  If anything, sfc winds also seem a bit more backed as well across IN.

One of the Tornadic cells in SW IL, now in SE IL blew up right over me.  It went from a little cloud to a massive deck of clouds and within 20 min it had a warning.  The remarkable part is how damn fast it moved East.  Incredible.

 

I am very glad this event passed me by.  I hope as many lifes can be spared today as possible.
