Chinook Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Wow, the 12z NAM has much less rainfall for most of OH than the GFS does, inside 48 hrs (48 hr total.) The NAM has 0.1" Columbus, 0.2" Cleveland. I wonder which will be right. Obviously this has implications for drought relief, and the possibility of localized flash floods.

It could be one of those situations where the heavy rain won't be widespread, but the areas that luck up under the pop-up t'storms get a nice dosing of it. A Hi-Res model like the NAM would obviously be able to depict this outcome better than the low-resolution GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's probably erroneous. Initially wondered if maybe it was something over the lake but the 5 miles northeast in the ob is a point that is still over land.

Hoosier Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Pretty cool how the weather can throw a surprise curveball every now and then. FWIW, I did some research into Chicago tornadoes some years ago and the ones I found were of the traditional thunderstorm type, so this particular occurrence is probably a first of its kind (at least documented) in the Chicago city limits.

That was exactly our thoughts. Still amazed it happened. We were completely caught off guard when the observer reported FC in the METAR because would never have expected a landspout to occur in that environment.

Temp profiles support 4 more 90*F+ days, but that's obviously going to depend on the extent of cloud debris / convection. This is looking like the dirtiest ridge we've seen all season, so there will probably be better chances for rainfall to affect high temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sweet pics on the landspout. Crazy how that happened. Flash Flood Watch for tonight into tomorrow. 2-3" per hour expected with some spots receiving up to 6" totals. MN as a whole had the 3rd wettest July ever and now August is following suit. The grass never even browned up here this summer. I doubt it's going to at this point. Insane rains the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
