our office building recently power washed the exterior masonry and now my window is filthy, going to be upset if it ruins the view of a nice shelf later

The good news is you are about to get your window washed, naturally.

One of those microscale circulations is just west of KLOT radar, which is estimating 100-105MPH winds 500' above the ground, so likely reaching the surface. KLOT will probably go down if it holds together.

Could move in here or very close by if it holds together.

Pretty zzzzz up around here. Peak wind gusts up to ~50mph for a short time, with the leading edge of the line.

Looks like severe winds are more localized to where the smaller MV's are located in the line now, compared to the entire line earlier.

Agreed here too... Wasn’t much but there are odd bits every few minutes with very strong gusts and trees go crazy...

DeKalb seriously lucked out. Windy but only leaves and small twigs here. I am happy to take the rain and take a pass at days+ without power that people in Iowa are facing. Still ethereal and dark in the cold pool rains/gusts.

North side of Sycamore got it worse.

Very large limb down off one of my trees. Just missed the house, thankfully. Had a brief uptick in big winds, along with a close lightning strike. Not sure which one got the tree. Pool has a ton of leaves too. Rest of the neighborhood is littered with your usual high wind small limb damage.
