Calderon Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I’m in Springfield and debating my next move. Stuff to the north is unattainable and group near Effingham is questionable. May just sit & wait in Decatur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Seems to be a bit of confusion at NWS Chicago. "Radar confirmed" tornado warning issued for the Oak Brook area and shortly thereafter cancelled. Was there an actual touchdown? Tag said "observed."

Indystorm Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Am becoming a bit concerned about the storms forming along I-39 and U,S, 51 in Illinois that I presume is the area of the front itself.

luckyweather Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 My weather station is out of service so nothing scientific on rain, just heavy, and had some brief pea sized hail on the cell/line that just went through Rockford. Good lightning producer but no wind to speak of before during or after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Oak Brook storm is now listed as tornado in the LSR. Edit: apparently already surveyed. EF-0 with a path length just under 2 miles long. Also had a 2nd EF-0 tornado in the LOT cwa.

Chicago Storm Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Ended up on the supercell t'storm near Dwight, IL yesterday afternoon. It did have a lowering for a while, and also had some visual rotation for a while (In addition to a couplet on radar as well). However, it never did tighten up and strengthen enough to produce a tornado. A few pictures of this t'storm are below. Ended up messing around with a few other severe t'storms after the aforementioned initial intercept, but did not end up with anything noteworthy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 what were the rain totals in some of those storms? Heaviest rains in a 45 minute span I've seen in sometime. My decorative frog rain gauge had over 2.5" in it. But the water was flowing fast and furious through the yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
