stormtrackertf Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Wow, wasn't expecting to get put in the enhanced area for this event. Looking at the massive size of that, I don't know if I've ever seen such a widespread ENH outlook, or 45% area back in the old slight-mod-high days.Shaping up to be an exciting and possibly concerning day for a large part of the midwest.

JacobChgo19 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Watching this system very closely, for it is a rather interesting one indeed. Many people in the area doubt we will get anything at all, such is the nature of Chicago severe thunderstorms and even weathermen in general. Should we get a tornado outbreak/signif. thunderstorm event, I doubt many will be prepared. That being said, I am going to hold my tongue and follow what is discussed here to ensure personal and family safety throughout the day as I am at school.. I would not be surprised if the system goes either way, bringing us a tornado in the heart of downtown Chicago or the Metro in general, or gives us rainshowers. Given some of the content posted and "lack of confidence" in certain atmospheric conditions, I am not going to say anything further on our Facebook page until the dust settles tomorrow morning and we can see clearly.
