Hoosier Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Had some decent wind and of course, rain. The flow off the deck is lacking just a bit as you get into northeast IL (especially around 850 mb) so I wonder if that could explain the lack of tornado reports in that area so far. Models prog an increase in the LLJ though over the coming hours so assuming the atmosphere hasn't been too worked over, could see another round of severe storms.

btcs31 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Lots of local flooding here. More than what we saw with the rains earlier this week. Saw a video of a car submerged at an underpass. Pretty impressive for an hour of rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Found a way to miss all the tornadoes today lol. Followed the initial sup that hailed on us here northeastward toward Sterling. Had some nice downward motion in one of the RFD cuts, and had a nice ragged wall cloud for a bit, but then it crapped the bed. Broke off that when the new batch of sups went tornado warned back towards home. Chose the southern one and that one didn't do squat. Neighbors say that there was a nice rotating wall cloud that passed just east of us, and that went on to produce the brief Morrison tornado. Shot this from the front door, brief view of the wall cloud from the first sup, right before the hail began. picture of 400 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Public Information Statement National Weather Service Chicago IL 625 PM CDT Sun May 24 2020 /725 PM EDT Sun May 24 2020/ ...PRELIMINARY SUMMARY OF THE 5/23/20 SEVERE WEATHER EVENT... .OVERVIEW...During the afternoon and early evening of Saturday, May 23, there was scattered severe weather across northern Illinois and northwest Indiana. Some of the most pronounced damage was in the far southwest Chicago suburbs occurring in the mid-afternoon. .MINOOKA AREA TORNADO... Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path length /Statute/: 6.3 miles Path width /Maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 1 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 2:53 P.M. CDT Start location: 3 miles west-northwest of Minooka Start Lat/Lon: 41.4535 / -88.3269 End date: 5/23/20 End time: 3:07 P.M. CDT End Location: 2.5 miles south of Shorewood End lat/lon: 41.4800 / -88.2106 SUMMARY: The tornado appeared to develop near I-80 about a mile west of the Minooka exit. The tornado was likely responsible for blowing over a car on I-80 resulting in an injury. The tornado then went on to down at least two wooden utility poles, about a half dozen large trees, and numerous large branches. Trained spotter reports helped to further clarify this was tornado damage. There was also some spotty wind damage just north of the tornado in a subdivision, and just south within the town of Minooka. EF0...Weak......65 to 85 mph EF1...Weak......86 tO 110 mph EF2...Strong....111 To 135 mph EF3...Strong....136 to 165 mph EF4...Violent...166 To 200 mph EF5...Violent...>200 mph .SHOREWOOD THUNDERSTORM DOWNBURST... Estimated Peak Wind: 75-95 mph Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 3:04 P.M. CDT End date: 5/23/20 End time: 3:07 P.M. CDT SUMMARY: At least two dozen large trees were downed, including some snapped, in residential Shorewood along and near Seil Street. This includes large trees down along the DuPage River. This tree damage was concentrated and intense, with all trees laying in an easterly direction, evidence for a strong downburst (microburst). .JOLIET THUNDERSTORM DOWNBURSTS... Estimated Peak Wind: 75-95 mph Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 3:12 P.M. CDT End date: 5/23/20 End time: 3:28 P.M. CDT SUMMARY: Many dozen large trees downed across Joliet including in its downtown. There was also wind damage to multiple roofs most notably much of the roof lifted off and thrown from a downtown building. This entire damage area was most likely due to a series of downbursts given its large footprint, reports over a fairly lengthy duration, and corroborating radar data as the organized severe thunderstorms moved through. NOTE: The information in this statement is PRELIMINARY and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. Thank you to our trained storm spotters and Emergency Management Agency partners for their helpful damage reports. $$ Friedlein/Bardou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
