thewxmann Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Is it just me or do I feel the best threat of tornadoes today is along the WF in IL where LCL's are lowest, low-level wind field most backed, and storms most discrete thus far?

Probably. The snow-cover affected temps are going to be an issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMADreamer Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Nice couplet on the tor warned cell west of Jacksonville, IL. That's the cell that came through here. Nasty, nasty cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 SPI had a snow depth of 6" as of last night so there might've still been some snow on the ground where that tornado touched down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgeeWx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Probably. The snow-cover affected temps are going to be an issue though. The snowpack is doing what early morning convection north of the front usually does, it reinforces the front. Keeping it further south will probably end up co-locating the moisture axis and the best forcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Such rapid intensification will overcome the negatives posed by snow cover but max risk will be mainly south of LAF, could become a major outbreak for e/c IL into IN (and KY-TN) south of a LAF-FWA line and reach western OH by midnight. Long duration thunder and lightning bonanza further north as most of the dynamics will be above an inversion, large hail possible with elevated cold front (ORD-MKE-GRR-SBN-DTW regions).

Geos Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 SPI had a snow depth of 6" as of last night so there might've still been some snow on the ground where that tornado touched down. Webcams in Lincoln show the snow melted out at least that far north. Actually here is a camera from Springfield now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping it further south will probably end up co-locating the moisture axis and the best forcing. That probably won't be the case though, as the warm front continues to push northward...Now making it north through the southern LOT CWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah with the low lifting NNE and the WWA strengthening the front will really start to accelerate NEward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
