RCNYILWX Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 i guess i make 4 storms have been firing north of the best instability all week in WI so why not Pretty typical around here for storms to fire when they're less expected to. Had to have caught SPC off guard too since we've had 2 watches and another slight risk this week with very little weather except across far northern IL and then the legit storms happen this evening. Some of the heaviest rain I've experienced here with this one over DuPage now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the heaviest rain I've experienced here with this one over DuPage now. Anecdotal, but it seems the same way around here. Many times the last couple years we've had temps in the 40s, 50s, etc. with fog even, and still managed to get some impressive thunderstorms, not exactly unstable. On the flip side, it seems cold fronts after a week of hot temps, even with instability building up throughout the week, tend to come through dry more often than when we haven't had as hot of temps.

stormtrackertf Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well I got my wish for rain...a tad over 2.00" IMBY since this morning, but it also came with that ferocious lightning which was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Lots of cloud to ground stuff, struck several trees and left about 1000 homes in my neighborhood without power from 8AM-8PM. The restoration effort was hampered by that second squall line which I saw a few big branches down from and caused another transformer to pop, but thankfully once it passed the restoration effort began again and was finished up pretty quickly once they sawed up and hauled away the tree debris.Wild weather day for sure.

Jackstraw Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Looks like that line in NW/Central In. is coming right down the corridor the 2 lines split apart over earlier. Maybe I'll get some rain out of this after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue60007 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Estimating 40-50 mph gusts here. Had gusts of 50-55 mph with the outflow boundary then 50-60 mph gusts right as the warning came out. Thought for sure the new tree I planted in my front yard last year was going to snap off. Didn't know it could bend that far. Power dropped in and out a couple times.

Jackstraw Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Interesting they are moving right through the area that was split earlier. A lot of remnant outflow boundaries from the northern and southern lines earlier could be enhancing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
