Yeah for sure. It pops a big cluster in central IL south of IKK, and I don't really see that happening down there because there's not much forcing at the moment and there's a weak cap. But I do think a line will form along the front and track SE as it moves. Could be some isolated damaging wind gusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Yeah, storms are forming now west of Starved Rock down the IL River valley. Expect things to get active shortly even though forcing has been low. There's even a svr warned storm now near Kirksville MO moving east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I wonder if this line of storms from Chicago to Peoria will form a cold pool and increase the wind damage threat as they move eastward into northern IN. Certainly wet microbursts would seem to be a conceern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Apparently there was some quarter size hail a few miles west of here with the initial severe storm that started in Elgin earlier.This stretch really produced storm wise. Nothing significant, but consistent action. Yesterday featured three shelf clouds (unfortunately didn't have the DSLR handy again) and some nice CG action for a while.

IllinoisWedges Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Right before the storms today. Bulk of the action went E and S (split again lmao), but I'll take this over some wind any day.

Castaway Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Still seeing some nice ctg action going south. Constant rumbling and flashing. Not "war of the worlds" but quality. Counted about 4 ctg's in 10seconds at one point. Yesterday, as ALEK said was ace. Not high end severe but quality as well with storm training deep into the night. I was out closer to the city this weekend suburb east of downtown. At times, it was unreal while outside for barbeque. Constant sweat. Towards evening, maybe with mixture of booze but there was a sense of a "nuclear fall out" haze with cicadas buzzing. I wasn't paying attention to any storm development until you noticed all the sweat and moisture going up producing some of the more interesting cloud development packing energy that a 90° high dewpoint summer day can produce. Unbearable climo, but real deal summer climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 The storm itself is pretty much run of the mill so far but as others have mentioned, some impressive ctg. Also just had an incredible backlit orange/yellow sky to the west but it didn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoalCityWxMan Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Storm ended 4 hours ago but still frequently see spectacular crawlers every couple minutes. Can even still hear thunder. According to lightning data there's lightning strikes ~50 miles north of where the strongest part of the storm is. Very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm getting a really good storm here finally. Constant lightning from different directions for 1 hour and 50 minutes now. Mostly all CC but interesting light-ups within that confinement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim from Springfield (IL) Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 If there is such a thing as a "reverse bust," it happened last night here in Springfield. Drought-busting rainfall amounts of about 2-4 inches in a few hours in two separate storms (at 10PM Sunday night then another three hours later), accompanied with very strong winds and dangerous lightning. Major wind damage among many trees near Washington Park on the west side of the city. All while we were still under a Marginal Risk for only a 5% wind probability.http://www.sj-r.com/news/20160725/still-about-900-cwlp-customers-without-power-after-overnight-storms Interestingly, a mesoscale discussion was issued last night at 6PM for the IL-MO-IA tri-state area, but no further watches or MCD's were issued concerning the storms that later affected central Illinois: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1391.html WICS-20 (ABC Springfield) news story: http://newschannel20.com/news/local/overnight-storms-leave-major-storm-damage-in-washington-park-07-25-2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
