huronicane Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Going back to this real quick... It looks like WGN/Skilling is the only one that has done and still is doing live coverage outside of standard news time. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/43999-severe-weather-coverage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackH Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This is why it's dangerous to cry bust too early. This has turned into a very significant event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 This is why it's dangerous to cry bust too early. This has turned into a very significant event. Pretty sure most were talking about the initial line earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Definitely been an amazing day. Who would have thought that rather meager line of elevated convection that lumbered through Iowa most of the afternoon would take off and become the dominant event after the first complex overturned the BL like it did? This 2nd line moved into what looked like a much less favorable environment and just flat out dominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 2nd line moved into what looked like a much less favorable environment and just flat out dominated. Who knows, maybe the thing that was needed to really get things going was a slight overturning/mixing of the atmosphere... Regardless, this has morphed into a pretty significant wind and flooding event over IA, IL, and eastern IN (and maybe more areas before sunrise at this rate)...

Powerball Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 They were but many were thinking the second line couldn't sustain itself... including myself to some extent To be fair, the possibility of the 2nd line blowing up the way it has was questionable at best, given how much the initial line had already worked over the atmosphere. How it typically works if things go the other way as far as the evolution of the 2nd line). But of course this has been an unusual system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geddyweather Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Oh I know, I was just mentioning I definitely didn't see what happened coming. To be honest, at 8pm this evening, I was expecting I'd be asleep by now instead of watching a bowing MCS storm across Ern IN. Been a lot of crazy and unexpected things this year, and probably more to come at this rate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huronicane Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think we just had a positive cg hit just a short way down the street. Big bright white/purple flash and then half a second later I felt the shockwave. Holy crap. I continue to be amazed by all of the lightning in either the stratiform (tonight) or anvil (last night).

IWXwx Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 IWX is not wasting any time issuing tor warnings now that the line in their CWA, nos. 2 and 3 are up on the bow. EDIT: I hope Tony didn't sustain any structural damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Peru Indiana, 77 with dew point of 77, here at midnight (Eastern). This 100% humid air is just waiting to get fed into the storm. GUS is the high dew champ of Indiana. Questionable maybe, at times. 79º/75º at LAF at midnight...but the line looks to be ho hum when it gets here. Further north, a little different.

Natester Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 No power. Incredible intensity. No window damage to our house. Don't know about shingles or siding. Wow. Our power was out for 7 hours following the first MCS. The second one developed right on top of us in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I hope Tony didn't sustain any structural damage. Took a quick look outside. No structural damage I could see. Having cell service issues right now though.

geddyweather Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Look at the little cell clusters forming out ahead of the line around the Plymouth/Rochester areas. Will those have any effect (good or bad) on this or will they get swallowed? Asking out of both curiousity and the fact it's been forever since one of these rolled across this area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 No power. Incredible intensity. No window damage to our house. Don't know about shingles or siding. Wow.

Will those have any effect (good or bad) on this or will they get swallowed? Asking out of both curiousity and the fact it's been forever since one of these rolled across this area I'd monitor the cells firing up ahead of the line for signs of low-level circulations. They're in a favorable environment just ahead of the derecho with strong inflow. These 'mini-supercells' can often spin up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Meso Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Looking at radar trends, and the SPC meso page, with good diflucence (sp) at 300mb to 500mb and still some impressive sb cape at this hour we may be looking at a long tracked derecho event, if things can sustain themselves I think northern Ohio could be under the gun. Edit: I should probably include central OH as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
