Lived on the south side of Kenosha in 2010 when a horrible derecho cleared the lake front parks of their older trees. My neighborhood on Lincoln Rd near Snap on was crushed.

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building. These storms have the potential to cause serious injury and significant property damage. Intense thunderstorm lines can produce brief tornadoes and widespread significant wind damage. Although a tornado is not immediately likely, it is best to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building. These storms may cause serious injury and significant property damage. A Tornado Watch remains in effect until 1000 PM CDT for north central and northeastern Illinois...and northwestern Indiana. && LAT...LON 4249 8780 4227 8783 4206 8767 4185 8761 4173 8752 4130 8753 4129 8801 4121 8801 4120 8824 4207 8826 4207 8824 4215 8824 4215 8859 4249 8861 TIME...MOT...LOC 0052Z 261DEG 52KT 4256 8898 4183 8847 4158 8846 4110 8878 TORNADO...POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM DAMAGE THREAT...DESTRUCTIVE HAIL THREAT...RADAR INDICATED MAX HAIL SIZE...2.00 IN WIND THREAT...RADAR INDICATED MAX WIND GUST...90 MPH 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Wow pretty amazing system... Mesoscale Discussion 0417 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0754 PM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023 Areas affected...Northern and Eastern Illinois...Southeast Wisconsin...Western Indiana...Far Southwestern Lake Michigan Concerning...Tornado Watch 96... Valid 010054Z - 010300Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 96 continues. SUMMARY...A threat of tornadoes, wind damage and large hail will continue across much of WW 96 over the next 2 to 3 hours. Parts of WW 96 may need to be extended in time, beyond the 03Z expiration. DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery from Chicago shows a line of severe storms moving eastward at nearly 70 knots across northern Illinois. This line is located within the nose of a 500 mb jet, which is creating very strong large-scale ascent across central and northern Illinois. This combined with about 75 knots of deep-layer shear, evident on the Chicago WSR-88D VWP, will be very favorable for severe storms. In addition, RAP forecast soundings near Chicago increase 0-3 km storm-relative helicity into the 300-350 m2/s2 range by 02Z. This suggests that the tornado threat will continue early this evening as the line approaches the western Chicago Metro. Tornadoes will be most likely with supercells embedded in the line, and with rotating elements associated with short bowing line segments. As the line moves eastward into the Chicago and Milwaukee metro areas, wind speeds could reach as high as 80 knots along the leading edge of the line. To the south, other more discrete storms are located to the east of Lincoln, Illinois. This area is just to the north of an 850 mb jet. For this reason, a tornado threat will likely be maintained with these storms. A widespread wind-damage threat will also be likely with the stronger cells, especially if a nearly continuous line segment can organize. ..Broyles.. 04/01/2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherMonger Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 1 hour ago, MNstorms said: They're not suppose to. Someone should be fired. I emailed the fire chief here for clarification on the second warning siren sounding. First one went off around 6:15pm for the circulation(and very likely tornado) near/over Sherman. The second sounded around 6:36pm with no active warnings over the area. The closest warning was from 6:19pm for a "large and extremely dangerous tornado" near Williamsville, well out of the way of Springfield. A new warning was issued at 6:38pm for a confirmed tornado even further ENE from Springfield. I can't find anything supporting my "all clear" activation. Curious to see if I get a response, but I'll swear to it, they have done it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never changed it when warnings went from counties to polygons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's it then, but I know there have been tornado warnings in Sangamon county, usually before they get to me or just after passing and the sirens in town do not sound. Maybe damage reports coming in from Sherman prompted them to sound off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
