Totally nailed the winds on the Dyer tornado :P (I estimated 70-80 when I was there)

Flash Flood Watch for about the southeast 2/3 of LOT.

Just realized I posted in the wrong thread. Probably setting up for some 1-3" totals across the metro, especially near/south of 88/290. Starting to get initiation ahead of the central IL MCV now. There are a couple of boundaries to focus on, the lake-enhanced front which is now stalling in southern Cook through Lake Co, IN, and another more elevated boundary across northern Cook left behind by the AM showers.

KLOT update

UPDATE...
1157 AM CDT

Showers and thunderstorms have begun to expand in coverage across
wester central into north-central Illinois. In collaboration with
DVN, we have expanded the Flash Flood Watch to the remaining
forecast area. Latest radar mosaic shows the corridor of
developing activity to be better focused toward the western
sections of the area. Morning DVN and ILX soundings show
precipitable water values of greater than 1.8 inches with latest
RAP analysis shifting this a bit westward. While far northern and
northwestern areas have seen less rainfall in recent days, the
efficient precip production and potential for multiple rounds of
showers and storms thought that expanding the watch was prudent.
Do not think that the threat has changed much for the original
watch area as high water already exists and showers and
thunderstorms are beginning to develop.

Said surface boundary is quite plainly visible

LOT released more detailed info on these.  Interestingly, the Dyer/Schererville, IN tornado occurred first (and was unwarned), which means that the tornado warned cell that we were watching that produced the tornado in Crete, IL was not the one that produced in IN.

I was keeping an eye on that one thinking it would go warned and never did. Even had a screenshot trying to figure distance.

So here's something interesting.  I know our county's tornado history like the back of my hand (have read through all the old Storm Data entries for each one as well as old newspaper articles, etc.) and between 1950-2018, there were no recorded tornadoes in Dyer.  There have been 2 since 2019.  That is hard to believe, so possible/likely that things were missed in the past considering that the technology/detection was not that good in early decades and that Dyer used to be a lot smaller than it is now.

Well congrats to those of you in IL/IN/MI who got in on some big action in this pattern, but as for me...

I guess we're in the same miserable club together.

Had a torrential downpour yesterday afternoon at around 2pm, on June 28th, and wasn't a rumble of thunder nor a lightning strike to be found. But in other news, I read that San Antonio observed ( I believe it was) Texas' largest hailstone ever this season.

Apparently, this just isn't our year for strong/severe t'storms..
