nwburbschaser Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm not sure if anything ever touched down, but that area roughly along US Route 30 in Indiana definitely had some decent rotation going according to radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Highs in the 60s are da bomb any time of the year except maybe winter if it means little to no snow. Powerball should run a sauna for a living if he hates 60s this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Severe T'storm Watch in effect until 11 PM here... The U of M game was cancelled as a result of the t'storms, with 7 minutes left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I volunteer at IWX on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and ended up driving back through that storm. I'm terrible at estimating wind speeds, but I'll guess that gusts were around 60 mph when I hit it just west of Plymouth on 30. Power was out at the intersection with Hwy 39, and then all the way west from there to the Valpo airport. In three different places there were trees down blocking part of 30. There were limbs down pretty much throughout LaPorte County, and it looked like almost every side street in Wanatah was blocked by limbs. Fun little overacheiver of a day.

Powerball Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The severe weather threat will likely continue through at least tomorrow morning, with that wave coming out of MN amplifying and the instability we have now being maintained/enhanced... Though I imagine the main threat will gradually transition to hail with the cold pool moving overhead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 That was a pretty nice storm here. I was in Midtown Detroit visiting with my mother and seemed to miss out on the brunt of it, but thankfully kept power back home further south where the action as a little heavier.

It was just an old-fashioned garden variety storm here. Hardly any wind. Will likely see some more t'storms late tonight/tomorrow morning though...

From the reports, you drove right through the hardest hit area in the region. I didn't know that you volunteered for IWX. Hit me up on Chat sometime. 0.72" here with enough lightning to make it fun. No winds or hail though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Looks like the potential for another line of storms exists tonight. Cool! 4km NAM really chilling it off in these parts Monday morning.

Nothing extraordinary, but enough general action to be satisfied. Up until tonight, I went 4 days in a row without rain/storms. Seemed strange. It could be worse...
