Hoosier Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 A quick OT, but where the heck is Hoosier in all of this. I haven't seen him post anything and this is practically in his back yard. I'm around, have just had some big stuff going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 RAP continues to look impressive for tonight. Wouldn't be shocked to see the SPC raised a small MDT risk. HRRR ramping things up quite a bit tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Temp up to 55° from 48° in the last half hour here... I definitely think the SPC will trim the ENH to just south of the MI/IN/OH line. We're not going to make It (instability wise) up here. Just too much low cloud cover and now more WAA rains knocking on the back door. Northern Illinois looks to be in a perfect spot... Very ominous in those parts. Everyone stay safe and aware, this could be a dangerous afternoon/evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Outflow boundary OFB noted by SPC is easier to see on visible in Northern Illinois. Surface just shows warm front WF, but the OFB is easily noted just south of the WF on visible. Appears new storms are on the OFB from Galesburg to Peoria (1pm Central time). Hi-res models have that, and still erupt the main line after, so no problem there. Looks like the main line goes on the cold front CF later. That 10% would look even better if storms were going on a pre-frontal trough. Anyway I'd target the first or second cell from the CF on the OFB late this afternoon. Storm right on the CF OFB intersection would be good if nothing else close. Risk on cold front is dry air ingestion. If a close second storm from the CF is on the OFB I would chase it. Good luck and be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm93 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 DISCUSSION...DISCRETE CELLS FORMING ALONG A COLD FRONT AND SURFACECYCLONE WILL INTENSIFY THIS AFTERNOON WITH LARGE HAIL AND A FEW TORNADOES THE PRIMARY INITIAL HAZARDS Has to be one of the shortest discussions I've seen.

Thunder Road Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Really like that 1630z outlook. Spot on in my opinion We're doing an 1830 here at VPZ VUM. I'll link you up once it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That storm already has decent rotation aloft. storm near Osceola has noticeable rotation on SRV 0.5 from Des Moines radar. Reflectivity pretty high (composite reflectivity anyway.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowahawkeyedave Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That storm already has decent rotation aloft. Is it just me or does the storm seem to be turning right a bit? Seems to be headed more ENE than NE like the other cells. Also Ben McMillan is on the storm watching a lowering possibly developing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjm_NSdA3No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The TOR warned cell just to the west of Chillicothe, IL looks interesting. The past two scans are showing a more classic hook signature and the velocity presentation is tightening up it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 How ironic that the first tor warning of today is located at Dunlap Illinois. I'm recalling Dunlap IN that took two F-4 hits in the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstorm93 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 THB, I didn't even think that we'd see a tornado report already. Hi-res models really crank up the parameters later this afternoon, so things could become quite interesting today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
