Jim Marusak Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 and as I type that, Watch 399 is out. counties in MN involved, roughly DLH to STP and ANE (not including MSP). WI Counties, DLH area to GRB, LSE to MKE, including MSN, EAU, and AUW. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0399.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 When in doubt go big. Almost all of WI is included in the watch. I know the focus has been rightly upon svr wind and possible derecho, but those helicity values in certain locations on SPC meso concern me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Already what looks on radar like it could be an incipient supercell northwest of Wausau. Unwarned as of yet. Watch includes (as already noted) most of WI and all of my employer's market coverage area apart from Grant and Crawford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 With CAPE values as high as what we are seeing when these storms form they will certainly explode as they move south/se. Not very often do we get a PDS svr storm watch particularly for the night hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Latest HRRR kills the western half of the complex and brings the most intense activity near/south of Green Bay, over LM and into the IN/OH/MI border region by Thursday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Claridge Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Part of me feels that SPC went with a Severe Thunderstorm Watch specifically so that they could label it as a Particularly Dangerous Situation for straight-line winds. Tornado probabilities are at the maximum (20%) for a SVR watch, while the SPC outlook has a 10% tornado probability (within 25 miles of a point); normally we would expect a Tornado Watch with a 10% on the outlook, barring some post-outlook "nowcasting" suggesting lower probabilities. Typically I've noticed that 10% contours almost always lead to Tornado Watches, while 5% contours can go in either direction (that is, either a SVR or a TOR watch). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, rather bizarre situation there. Just looking at the radar almost right off the bat, it seems things want to line/bow out pretty quick so looking like the longer-lived/strong (supercell) tornado threat won't really materialize. Not to say there couldn't be a stronger (EF2 or even 3, like that Chicago 'burbs one a few weeks ago) spin-up with an HP supercell embedded in the QLCS as it takes shape down the road.

Indystorm Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 With svr storms forming as far west as Itasca I am not so sure that western areas will escape unscathed. I-90 special in a broad arc from east of Green Bay in Lake Michigan down through Madison and west to LaCrosse IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 May just be distance from the respective radar (but warning wording is also stronger on it, too) but the eastern cluster riding along and east of US 51/I-39 looks to be the more impressive right now. Quote This is a DANGEROUS SITUATION. These storms are producing widespread wind damage across Lincoln County. SEEK SHELTER NOW inside a sturdy structure and stay away from windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
