stormtrackertf Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 We have a fire across the lake from me in Canada. You can see the smoke for miles. So that's what that was. I assumed it was some old warehouse on fire in Detroit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 This chunk of rain is crawling through N Il. If you get caught under a downpour, it could add up quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Call me crazy but we could see a little severe here today. LI's aren't bad in Northern IN right now as that front is providing a little bit of lift. Little pocket of instability in place, LFC is pretty low and 25-30 kts of bulk shear night make things a little interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllinoisWedges Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nice day until the rain moved in.

Link: https://twitter.com/IllinoisWedges/status/723295338363260928?s=09 I saw the smoke on my way home from work and decided to take the scenic route so I could find the source of the smoke. I got to Lockport and gave up the search. Glad this mystery is solved for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Got off of work this evening as the first line of storms rolled through. When NWS started issuing SPS's, I decided to go have a look. Nothing interesting other than some decent lightning until the storm passed: Looks like the second line is approaching, but it will be dark.

wisconsinwx Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was expecting more rain the last couple days but it did not transpire. Thunderstorms were absent as well. I have to say I'm a bit worried all the rains in the Plains are going to have a negative effect on lapse rates. You could argue they did last year.

Here's the video I took: https://twitter.com/IllinoisWedges/status/723314561571397633 That is just massive! Furniture warehouse - yeah I can see why it's still burning at this hour. The building is totally gone. WGN showing it was picked up on radar - end of video. http://wgntv.com/2016/04/21/crews-on-scene-of-extra-alarm-fire-in-suburbs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
