Indystorm Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What's the saying? "Wet tends to stay wet and dry tends to stay dry." That certainly seems true in our area recently and California. I really appreciate the time and effort of mets in their work who also take time to post here in this forum. And when I run the 18z GFS it seems there will be repeated possibilities for them to continue to work overtime in days ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILwxchr Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIKE-ECWsAAgtq8.jpg:large Fairly large tornado this evening south of the Quad Cities in IL. Started west of the town of Edgington and moved through town damaging several structures with debris lofted. Continued to the west of Taylor Ridge, IL. On the ground for roughly 13 minutes from my count. Motion was quite impressive as well with a great display of multiple vortices east of town. I shot this photograph looking south near the Rock Ridge High School in Edgington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Storms have been very resistant to upscale growth this evening, not surprising given the intensity of the shear and also the orientation to the boundaries allowing for easy propagation away from them.

jojo762 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 About Coal city: http://www.morrisherald-news.com/2015/06/22/tornado-touches-down-in-coal-city-flooding-reported-in-region/aup8ktt/ COAL CITY – A tornado touched down late Monday night in Coal City, the second twister to hit this town in less than two years. About 10 p.m. there was a confirmed report of a tornado in Coal City, according to the National Weather Service. The city also was hit by a tornado in November 2013. Roads into Coal City, including Route 113 east of Route 47, were closed. Interstate 55 near Coal City exits also was jammed, according to eyewitness reports. Traffic heard on a police scanner reported fires and people trapped in structures. Grundy County Coroner John Callahan said there were no immediate reports of fatalities. "There are entrapments and they are trying to make their way to different locations," he said of emergency crews in Coal City. "It sounds like Coal City has been hit pretty hard." Reports of possible rotation in Seneca and Mazon also were reported about 9:45 p.m. Traffic heard on a police scanner noted flooding was reported in the Morris area due to heavy rains. Morris Fire Chief Tracey Steffes said Route 47 was flooding and urged residents to stay off the road. Prior to the rains hitting, road crews worked Monday afternoon to clear streets and sidewalks of tree branches and yard debris after strong winds ripped through the Joliet area.
