*IndyMeso* Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The couplet is very very close to I-65. Very close. You know there has got to be a dozen people taking pictures sitting on 65. We should see some pop up on social media here shortly I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 It will be interesting to see if we get anything today, DTX will be doing an 18z balloon launch to get a better idea with respect to cap strength and destabilization. HRRR still doesn't show any significant convection firing up but the latest aviation update from DTX is more optimistic...we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 308 PM EDT WED MAY 21 2014 SHORT TERM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT A SPECIAL 18Z DTX SOUNDING REVEALED A CAPPING INVERSION BASED AT 850MB. THE CAP IS STRONG BUT FAIRLY SHALLOW /AROUND 50 MB/. WITH CONTINUED LATE DAY HEATING AND INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER CONVERGENCE...SFC PARCELS WILL HAVE A GREATER CHANCE OF BREAKING THROUGH THIS WARM LAYER. THE POTENTIAL LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH TO AT LEAST SUPPORT SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. A SFC COLD FRONT OVER SW LOWER MI TODAY HAS BEEN SLOWLY PUSHING TOWARD THE EAST AND IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS SE MI BETWEEN 20Z AND 00Z. THE 19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS ALSO SHOWS A COUPLE OF E-W ORIENTED SFC BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THE M 59 CORRIDOR AND SAGINAW BAY. ALSO OF NOTE IS THE LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES ALONG LAKES HURON/ST CLAIR/ERIE. THESE BOUNDARIES ARE ACTUALLY PROVIDING THE BEST LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND HAVE SO FAR BEEN THE REGION SHOWING THE MOST PROMISE IN BREAKING THE CAP /NOTED BY BOTH THE AGITATED CU FIELD AND DEVELOPMENT OF SOME SHOWERS/. THE APPROACH OF THE SFC COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST WILL ONLY INCREASE THE CONVERGENCE...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THESE LOCATIONS /GENERALLY EAST OF A CARO TO MONROE LINE/ LOOK TO HAVE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 3 TO 5 HOURS. THE 18Z DTX SOUNDING SHOWS GOOD CAPE DENSITY ABOVE THE CAP AND STILL SUPPORTS 0-1KM ML CAPE OF 1500 TO 2K J/KG THROUGH EARLY EVENING. A 50-60 KNOT MID LEVEL JET WILL ALSO BE OVERHEAD. THE RESPECTABLE SHEAR ALONG WITH A POCKET OF MID LEVEL DRY AIR NUDGING IN FROM THE WEST AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A STRONG WIND AND LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL WITH ANY CONVECTION. THE SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL FAVOR BOTH SUPER CELLS AND LINEAR CONVECTIVE MODES. BACKED FLOW IN THE VICINITY OF THE LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES WILL ALSO ENHANCE LOW LEVEL HELICITY...SO AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE CAP...COVERAGE OF CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED AND SO THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL MAY BE MUCH MORE ISOLATED IN NATURE. THE DEGREE OF DEEP LAYER DRYING FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL QUICKLY END THE THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION THIS EVENING. COLD AIR ADVECTION UNDER W-NW FLOW TONIGHT WILL INHIBIT THE DEGREE OF BOUNDARY LAYER DECOUPLING...BUT WILL STILL BE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO DROP TEMPS INTO THE 50S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT.

Powerball Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 A weak sauce shower had briefly cycled over the lower east side of the city and made the ground wet (some time around 5 PM). Apparently there were two other, somewhat stronger cells as well (one around Mt. Clemens and another around Port Huron). But otherwise, the mid-level drying along with the lack of forcing ultimately won out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Pic my daughter sent me of her back yard on the south side of Indy. Happened around 4:15. Ping pong balls, look closely and you can see the siding damage. She also said her roof and car were damaged. And look at her poor tree and new fence. EDIT: Nice pic Stebo. I love shots of huge towers as the sun sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowlover2 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Jesus that picture is nuts, that is going to be a nightmare for a while for traffic. A local channel did live coverage through the storms and as they were showing this, it was mentioned it might be days for that to reopen between the water going down and making sure it still safe to drive on.

Yeah something like that could potentially washout the road bed in which case it would be more than days, it would be weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well the water as lowered off of I 70 and eastbound could reopen in minutes but westbound lanes still have several stalled cars that need to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
