CheeselandSkies Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 11 minutes ago, Chicago Storm said: A few tor warned supercells in S WI now, though north of the southward moving OFB. Of course, the minute I write off that sort of potential for the day and stop paying attention. Western one has the usual problem of being in awful terrain. It momentarily had a "flying eagle" reflectivity signature, but doesn't look quite as good on the most recent scan. I've also noticed RadarScope's color scale really overcooks the velocities compared to GR Level 3. Could see a brief touchdown out of one of these, perhaps something similar to what happened near Mineral Point on the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It's very gusty behind the outflow boundary, but the storms are bit bubbly moving into CR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluoronium Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'd be more interested in future supercells that develop along/south of that boundary. If I was closer I'd be chasing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Flash flood warning for parts of Boone and McHenry counties. I am concerned with training storms over certain areas this evening given multiple bands extending west into Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I wonder where that OFB will eventually settle for tonight before it moves back north tomorrow with hot and muggy conditions predicted once again. That location might be the focus for heavier rains overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Today has definitely been an interesting setup that relied 100% on nowcasting. In aviation we try to come up with a convective forecast that helps the FAA plan routes in and out of the area (mainly for ORD) - been one of the lower confidence days of the summer given zero model support. If you read through all of LOT's AFDs today, you'll see how the forecast has been evolving back and forth as conditions change. At one point we thought the dry air observed on the 12Z OAX sounding would inhibit TS this far south, but it seems to me the corn belt helped with moisture flux from the surface up to the 925-800mb level. This all resulted in MLCAPE rapidly increasing this afternoon (which the NAM has done well with despite mostly missing the actual wx). Definitely not the best time to be flying into O'Hare today. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I am wondering if these multiple t storm clusters will morph into more of an east-west oriented band later this evening along the OFB and would produce training of heavy rains. Maybe I am just reacting to what happened in TN although I don't expect anything near that amount of precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Main line of storms just rolled through with wind gusts of 36MPH. So that makes it four distinct periods of non-severe winds the past few hours here at ORD, with peaks of 47MPH, 47MPH, 45MPH and 36MPH with each period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiño Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I was a bit north of the action up here in Racine, WI but got a pretty good view of the storm as it moved over the lake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
