Time for me to SPC hate again (Easy to do when content is just handed to us)...

Most definitely is/was a bad outlook. Everything from last night suggested a slight was needed well into WI (And even further into IL).

What’s worse is they double downed with a 20% watch probability MD at 9:15AM, and stated the threat was only “isolated”, when numerous warnings and widespread hail has occurred.


.

They were given 4 chances to be right and only went 15% on the 5th when the hail was pretty much done. It was very easy to see this had a good hail potential, ML lapse rates forecast to be around 8 and verified 8.3 on DVN's sounding this morning, with good shear, and cape density mostly rooted above the freezing level. It was a bad forecast from several forecasters.

Looking ahead... :ph34r:

Quote
By Mon/Day 6, a more amplified upper pattern may emerge as a trough
digs across the western U.S. As this occurs, a lee surface trough
should develop over the High Plains. This will aid in stronger
southerly return flow, and moisture will begin overspreading the
Plains into the Midwest. Severe potential may increase as the
western trough ejects eastward through the end of the forecast
period. However, medium-range guidance varies considerably with the
timing of the larger-scale trough ejecting eastward as well as in
the strength of the trough. As such, predictability is too low for
severe probs at this time.

August decided to act like May for us, so Sept. gonna act like June? I'm all for it.

Regarding next Monday, 18Z GFS took a big nosedive with verbatim regional severe potential vs. 12Z, but the pieces are there. It's just a question of will they come together and where?

Edit: For reference, a 12Z forecast sounding for a point not far from the 8/9 tornadofest, if not a tad further east/uncomfortably close to the Chicago 'burbs.

09/0Z GFS holds serve, although soundings aren't that impressive the synoptic pieces are there with a surface low near the WI/IA/IL confluence at 21Z Monday afternoon and a belt of spring-like 40-50kt WSW-SW flow at 500mb.

 

Edit: On the 06Z, the area of most interest is moved north into WI, beautiful shear profile along the warm front but the capping looks stout at 21Z.

Most incredible bow echo I've seen ripping through extreme SON currently:

 

I also had my 13th storm of 2021 this morning, not forecast whatsoever. The last 7 days have been nothing short of wild here, total reversal from the last 5 years of BS!!

Yeah, observing from afar, the Detroit area over into SW Ontario has had quite the severe weather season this year.

Frankly, given the dearth of severe weather here in Dallas this year, I'm kind of jealous (never thought I'd say that).
