Hoosier Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Famous last words but given the current organization, I think this line may be able to get close to the IL/IN border with minimal weakening. The HRRR does show it weakening in a couple hours or so, but it looks like it's running at least a couple degrees too cool with temperatures in eastern IL, and there should be essentially no nocturnal cooling there in the next couple hours given the very strong southerly flow.

Chinook Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It's hard to believe the tornadoes are getting this far north, this early in the season, in the middle of the night, yet again. I have actually been to Ladd IL to fill up on gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CryHavoc Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I went to high school in Brown County IL. Hope everyone is safe there. Parents still live there but they're not on the Western side. This year has been ominous with storms so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 DVN has confirmed 4 tornadoes so far from last night. That makes 8 confirmed tornadoes in the last week for the cwa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Regarding this year's severe weather reports as a whole: The SPC web page with the tornado numbers vs time graphs shows this. The hail & wind totals are 2544 vs an average to this date of 857 (297% of average). The tornado reports (perhaps unfiltered local storm reports?) are at 312 vs 137, which is 228% of average to date.

cyclone77 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 DVN found 3 more tornadoes today for a total of 7 for the event, and 11 for the season. One of the new tornadoes posted today was an EF-2 that tracked 35 miles through southeast Dewitt Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Took these pics today about 4 miles northwest of town. There was a tornado warning for the circulation that passed through here, but as of yet DVN hasn't confirmed a tornado. Not sure if they surveyed this area, so sent some pics to their FB page.

Justin Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I live in Muscatine, IA now and missed the tornado here by about one mile. Was a very scary storm. I do this for a living and I was scared, lol. It was ominous in that it was headed right for me then it lifted. But saw the new one form off to the East of the old dying meso, thing was ripping NE at 70-75 mph. Saw lots of damage off highway 61 and 280/80 between here and Davenport. NW corner of Davenport had some spotty, impressive structural damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the feeling I had on 6/7/2008 as that cyclic supercell was bearing down on my family and the reports were bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdgwx Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The final tornado report count for this event is 78. And, if I'm not mistaken, in terms of total reports this is the most prolific event since July of 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
