Indystorm Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I know SPC is pessimistic with that meso wrt a possible tornado watch for se IL into sw and central IN but whenever I see altocumulus cloud streets with other svr parameters being favorable I have to wonder. Only problem seems to be lack of a sustained trigger or focus at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 BP down to 991mb here, and 990mb at MLI and DVN. Looks like the low center is passing a bit west of the QC, so prob 989mb somewhere between the obs. Have picked up 0.55" here. Things pretty much went as planned for this area. A benign event if you didn't know what was causing it. Still hoping for a few 35mph+ gusts between 6-9pm immediately following the center of circulation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the run of the mill showers that moved through here a couple of hours ago brought down some strong winds that NWS didn't even have a SPS on until I reported damage. The first tree I saw come down because it's my neighbor's. I also felt sorry for the guy whose new truck bed got crunched. Will have to keep an eye on the next set of showers getting ready to roll through. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Main severe threat tomorrow is obviously farther east, but may have an outside shot to pop something around here late morning/midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0891.html Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0891 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0620 PM CDT Tue Jun 09 2020 Areas affected...northern Illinois/Indiana and vicinity Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 092320Z - 100115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...A brief, weak tornado or two are possible across northern Illinois/Indiana and possibly into far southwest Michigan. While the severe threat is likely isolated, trends will be monitored for a possible tornado watch. DISCUSSION...Tropical Depression Cristobal is continuing to move northward across the Midwest with a deep, well defined surface low in eastern Iowa/northwest Illinois. Breaks in the clouds across portions of central/northern Illinois/Indiana has led to some stronger instability with satellite/radar imagery showing a slight uptick in convection recently. Low-level shear remains strong with larger hodographs east of the surface low. Transient weak rotation has been observed with a few convective cells, but convection is remaining somewhat weak, with relatively narrow updrafts. However, given the presence of low-level helicity and potential convective intensification associated with increasing destabilization, a couple of brief, weak tornadoes and convectively-aided strong wind gusts are possible across the area this evening. ..Nauslar/Hart.. 06/09/2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bl5585 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Storm south of Beecher passed nearly over me. I didn't see a funnel or anything but I don't have the best view and I'm obviously not going to head out right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Storm that hit earlier didn't have a warning on it, but had damaging winds. The second round storm was warned, but had no punch. It did produce some cool cloud structure though. (Including requisite crappy cell phone pic) 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
