Meanwhile, the garden-variety part of these storms caused severe reports in Washington County, IL east of St. Louis.  I can see the thunderheads at a distance from here but still clear as a bell--and we desparately need the rain here.

Currently 93/74 here just north of St Paul. Stifling swampness. Things should really ramp up in the next few hours.

We had 95F/74F... my God..i don't know how someone could put up with this like they do in the south.  Thank God a nice cool shot is coming down.

 

Dark clouds is about all i'm seeing around here.

Next Wed the 13th continues to stand out as a good potential setup for a long-duration severe MCS through the corn belt region.  Euro and GFS continue to agree that strong westerlies in the mid and upper levels spread out south of a strong vort which tracks along the US/Canada border region.  GFS showing >100kts at 250mb early Wed eve.  Rather meager low-level flow, and strong forcing should mean linear MCS mode pretty much from the beginning.  Big fly in the ointment will probably come down to the typical conditional setup issue we deal with, with pretty much every setup this time of year lol.  The main synoptic setup looks pretty darn sweet though at this point.  Hope trends continue.

One thing to keep in mind about this potential westward moving complex Thursday night.  If it pans out, you would actually be getting the associated thunderstorm winds from an atypical direction...northeast or something with an easterly component.  I'm not sure what state it would be in though as it moves farther away from the better shear (will have good instability to work with).

Pretty good model agreement on a nice mcs coming from nothern MI to central and maybe even southern MI areas tomorrow night. It's been quite a while since I have seen one of these decently modeled before it happens, looks like it could have some nice wind gusts and maybe some hail too.

Pretty decent instability is expected to hold through the night as well.
