.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
514 PM CDT

TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MORE AREAS IN NORTHERN
ILLINOIS...EXCEPT COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES IL AT THIS TIME.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OUT AHEAD OF MAIN LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING NORTHWEST ILLINOIS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT ONE TWO HOURS ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
LATEST RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTING RATHER ORGANIZED STORMS...WITH
ROTATING UPDRAFTS AND A HISTORY OF PRODUCING TORNADOES...PERSISTING
ACROSS THE AREA. THE ENVIRONMENT OUT AHEAD OF THESE CURRENT STORMS
HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF BECOMING SLIGHTLY MORE FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL
TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT. SO HAD DECIDED TO EXPAND THE WATCH FURTHER
EAST THROUGH 10 PM CDT THIS EVENING. THE FURTHER NORTHEAST INTO
NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA...THE LESS FAVORABLE THE
ENVIRONMENT IS AND WILL BE. WITH THIS IN MIND...DECIDED TO
EXCLUDE LAKE/COOK AND AREAS IN NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AT THIS TIME.

EVOLVE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

Just got home from work.  Didn't have anything prepped and ready, so kind of screwed myself.  May head out in a bit with whatever battery power is left in the one camera.  Discrete cell moving straight north southeast of Annawan looks spicy.

 

Made a liar out of me.  Soon after this it crapped the bed lolz.

Rumbling here. Looks like a typical garden variety line of storms to pass through here though.

It was actually Ricky from LOT who was chasing, but yeah, could have stayed at the office and let the storm come to him. My favorite way to chase.
