Powerball Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 CAPE won't be a factor this evening, only shear. Just incredible. Yeah, 5,000 to 7,000 J/KG of CAPE is only like child's play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewxmann Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah, 5,000 to 7,000 J/KG of CAPE is only like child's play... I think he means CAPE won't be a limiting factor/problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shear is great for tornadoes, it might be best to dial back the commentary when you are unsure of what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That cell west of Kankakee, and the new ones in Iowa are going to become pretty beastly. All of them are growing quite quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 The MCS that formed in ND & MN last night is going to make it to the Atlantic Coast off of South Carolina before midnight... Impressive It shouldn't last too much longer, as it out runs the best shear/dynamics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Ahh okay. yeah 0-1KM shear right now is pathetic.But its not entirely a deal breaker. 0-1 km shear is probably a bit stronger than indicated via mesoanalysis especially in E IL where there is some backing via observations.

OHweather Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The cap looks like it's starting to go now with a few cells from east of Cedar Rapids to near Joliet. We are probably going to go northeast and hope that the wind shift that appears to have shifted just east of here is enough to focus storm initiation in far east central IL within an hour or so.

daddylonglegs Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 KARX... LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSSTHE FOREST AREA. CAPE AND SHEAR PROFILES SUPPORT SUPERCELLS WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 40 TO 45 KTS. SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES AREALSO VERY SUPPORTIVE OF SUPRECELLS WITH VALUES RANGING FROM 3000-4000 J/KG. WE SHOULD SEE THESE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMSPERSIST THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING AND EXIT INTO SOUTHERNWISCONSIN/NORTHERN ILLINOIS. 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE VERYWEAK...10 KTS OR LESS...SO NOT EXPECTING TORNADOES. HOWEVER IF WECAN ESTABLISH A STRONG ENOUGH SUPERCELL CANNOT RULE OUT A BRIEFTORNADO OR TWO JUST a constant rumble here right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo762 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 0-1 km shear is probably a bit stronger than indicated via mesoanalysis especially in E IL where there is some backing via observations. VWP data from KLOT, KDVN, TORD, and KILX show about 10-20kts of 0-1KM SHR... so yeah, mesoanalysis is wrong with its values attm. EDIT: Also only 40/20 probs on the TOR watch.

cyclone77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I really don't want to head over to the Iowa side, so may just stick with what may develop in this area. Cu is really boiling and building overhead now, so it could go at any time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Low probability of a wind report >65? Yeah I don't remotely buy that, especially if this is going to grow upscale into a MCS later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Just about to get out of work. Will probably head west to make a play on the activity that comes out of E. IA or any new development in N. IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo762 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Storms thus far besides up in WI and in MO have remained pretty small thus far. Indicative that the cap-- at least whats left of it-- is still holding on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
