madwx Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Been 50+ mph wind gusts for over 15 mins now. Nothing super crazy high end but the longevity has been impressive 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just saw a nice CG from my porch (missed it with the video, of course). My plant stands probably would have blown over had I not secured them to the railing with zip ties (they stayed upright the night in late July when those midnight tornadoes passed about a mile west of here, that was before I added the zip ties).Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main concern will be how quickly upscale growth occurs along the front but shear vectors will be fairly orthogonal to the front. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be worth looking into, I was supposed to go up to Milwaukee to visit a friend for a beach day, but if there's decent stuff in the area then why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natester Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Well I'm certainly happy today wasn't a repeat of one year ago for Iowa. SE Wisconsin and northern Illinois not as fortunate. Milwaukee has over 100k customers without power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Widespread reports of tree damage and power outages across NC and NE IL, as well as much of S WI. Ended up with winds around 60mph here. Didn't have a great shelf cloud, was mostly just a whales mouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Pretty lackluster here entirely, it rained fairly hard but I doubt winds got above even 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Was on top an observation tower on Lapham Peak and wind was definitely hurricane force at times, I kept getting pushed around and was unable to stand up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Don't see how tomorrow isn't at least an enhanced risk day. Whatever convection is around through the morning will lay out boundaries ahead of the front and increasing shear dropping south. Even the guidance w/ AM storms destabilizes things quickly behind it.

Was just about to rag on the SPC (per usual) for saying there was no “overt” MCV. This turned out to be the best way to see where and when things would pop today.

The RAP did very well handling things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
