Chicago Storm Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Through May 13th, ORD only had 0.29" of rain on the month. After the quick turn around the past few days, ORD is now up to 4.52" on the month. With the additional expected rain in the coming days, and then a continued wet pattern looking likely to continue next week/next weekend, can probably start looking ahead to wettest Mays on record. It just so happens the record wettest May was just last year in 2019, with 8.25". It will definitely be within reach if this new event works out.

cyclone77 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Feel for you guys out in east IL. Luckily out this way totals should stay around an inch or so. There's still water standing in certain fields, so it would be best if it completely missed us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIstorm97 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 There looks to be a decent minisupercell/tornado threat tomorrow from E IL into N IN and NW OH. Plentiful low-level cape along with good wind profiles should get some spinners going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 SPC may need to expand nader threat further west to cover more of northern IL for tomorrow. HRRR has some decent soundings to be sure. Nice vort max rolling in, could see a few tors as far west as the DVN cwa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Tomorrow is one of those days where it sort of teeters on a fine line between getting pretty much nothing (tor wise) and quite a few of them. Have to keep an eye on it for sure. Looks like there could be some breaks in the precip here and there but definitely don't expect a clean day.

Given all of the rotating storms currently in E MO/S IL/SW IN...and an even better environment tomorrow...should be able to get at least a few to produce something.

MIstorm97 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I did chase C and E IA on Thursday along the warm front. Tracked a monster HP supercell, but it remained like 10 miles north of the front on the cool side. Still, it provided some nasty skies and tried to catch the boundary and wrap up a couple times. The third picture is the closest it got. I will be out for sure tomorrow, and maybe Monday in Ohio if the system slows down even more. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Finally getting around to it, but I also chased the HP supercell in Iowa last Thursday. I never did find my localized area of backed winds, but was bored and needed something to occupy my time so I went out anyways. Storm went up farther west than I thought it would, initiating all the way back by I35, when I was expecting initiation near Oskaloosa or Ottumwa. Arrived on the storm near Melcher Dallas and found it to be OD and sucking strong but cold inflow. This is just how this storm was, and never at any point while I was on it did I think it had any significant tornado potential. Chased it to near Washington, where I let it run over me and went back to catch some rainbow/sunset stuff. Core was far more intense than I was expecting it to be however, and I encountered what I would crudely estimate to be winds in excess of 75mph and some pea size hail. Fun local chase overall. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 In other news, tomorrow looks conditionally fun for some low topped supercell action and perhaps a few tornadoes assuming atmosphere sufficiently destabilizes. Environment is very similar to today's setup in the Arklatex and is reminiscent of classic low topped supercell days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 New day 1 introduces a slight risk for tornadoes for E IL/W IN. Quote ..MIDWEST/OH VALLEY REGION A COMPACT UPPER LOW WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS IA DURING THE DAY AND INTO IL OVERNIGHT, ENHANCING LIFT AND INCREASING SHEAR WITH 40 KT MIDLEVEL SOUTHWESTERLIES AND COOLING ALOFT. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY EAST ACROSS NORTHERN IL, WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL IL SOUTHWARD ALONG THE MS RIVER BY 00Z. AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT, A LONG FETCH OF MOISTURE WILL EXIST FROM THE LOWER MS VALLEY NORTHWARD INTO IL, WITH MID TO UPPER 60S DEWPOINTS COMMON BENEATH 30-40 KT SOUTHERLY 850 MB WINDS. FARTHER NORTH, A WARM FRONT WILL SLOW ITS PROGRESSION ALONG A LINE FROM CHICAGO TO CLEVELAND. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE LIKELY TO BE ONGOING EARLY IN THE DAY, BOTH IN THE WARM ADVECTION ZONE AND ALONG THE COLD FRONT FROM WESTERN IL INTO MO. GRADUAL DESTABILIZATION WILL OCCUR EAST OF THE FRONT, AND STORMS SHOULD SOLIDIFY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS STRONGER CONVERGENCE INTERACTS WITH THE UNSTABLE AIR MASS. VEERING WINDS WITH HEIGHT WILL FAVOR ROTATING STORMS, AND A FEW MAY PRODUCE BRIEF TORNADOES. THIS THREAT MAY PERSIST WELL INTO THE EVENING AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET REMAINS FAVORABLE. FARTHER SOUTH INTO WESTERN TN AND NORTHERN MS, LIFT WILL NOT BE AS FOCUSED, BUT A MOIST AIR MASS AND SUFFICIENT CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE SURFACE TROUGH WILL FAVOR ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS. WEAKLY VEERING WINDS WITH HEIGHT MAY SUPPORT A FEW STRONGER CELLS CAPABLE MAINLY OF STRONG WIND GUSTS, THOUGH WEAK ROTATION CANNOT BE RULED OUT BENEATH 25-30 KT 850 MB FLOW. DAYTIME STORMS ARE ALSO LIKELY TO FORM OVER NORTHERN OH AROUND 18Z AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH. HERE, SBCAPE MAY APPROACH 1000 J/KG, WITH WEAKLY VEERING WINDS WITH HEIGHT POSSIBLY SUPPORTING A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO AS WELL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I have a funny feeling about this... like there could be something close by. Or maybe I'm just tired. Does look like low level flow may be more backed in a zone around here compared to farther south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
