Chicago Storm

There is a tornado watch for northern Missouri/ southern Iowa. This is a pretty big surprise based off yesterday's 1730z outlook which only had a small area of slight risk in Missouri. Tomorrow: (5/7) the latest update says enhanced risk for Iowa.

The convection-allowing models have several solutions of supercells and/or clusters of cells forming in Iowa, eastern Nebraska, and western Illinois tomorrow. The conditions near the warm front will promote higher wind shear, lift, and chance of tornadoes.  Severe thunderstorms may get going in southern Illinois also. It looks like a higher wind area at 700mb will be a main factor in increased storm relative helicity.

5 hours ago, Chicago Storm said:

Three landspouts confirmed from Sunday evening in the vicinity of the I-80 corridor.

There was a boundary in that area all afternoon, which was reinforced by a deep inland lake breeze.

One was in my backyard just south of Grant Park, unsure how to post the video. I caught the very end of it.  We were wondering why no sirens

I was pretty busy here at the office, we had quarter sized hail here at the airport for about 3 minutes. Pretty solid event that wasn't too expected. It was if you watched mesoscale models but, we didn't get much of a risk area here.

It smells like someone went through the area with a chainsaw. Grass, cedar, tree smell. 

The forest lost about 1/3rd of it's leaves, gonna be a weird summer. I have a TON to cleanup, will probably rent a stronger push behind leaf blower.
