hlcater Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 9 hours ago, hlcater said: Someone is gonna pay for this. Exceptional thermos, adequate shear and a favorably oriented boundary suggesting an outside shot at a higher end MCS later today. Anecdotally, giant CAPE combined with very steep LLLRs (8.5-9.0) usually seems to correlate with strong downdraft potential. Additionally, with hodographs favorable for supercell development and LRs >7.5 throughout the column, would expect a large hail risk in the first 1-2 hours before upscale growth takes hold. One caveat could be the complete absence of a LLJ casting doubt in MCS maintenance potential, but that's something that's always confused me a little bit. There's no doubt a strong and coherent LLJ helps MCS maintenance/intensity, but how badly does an absent LLJ hurt? There are some very notable MCS cases that had zero LLJ to speak of.

michaelmantis Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Rain is over-performing here for sure. Thank goodness we are cooling down after this because the humidity would be crazy. Looks like the MI people going to get into the action too. Amazing to see the development of these from nothing to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laferri2 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 @SteboAny chance we see derecho type activity over southern MI? The setup reminds me a lot of 5/31/98. I'd hate to have that roll through at 3am instead of 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Under a SVR Warning for 70 mph winds now. It’s been storming more than an hour. Nothing severe but constant lightning and thunder. Also have a Flash Flood Warning. Pretty good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 A moderate risk would definitely have worked out quite well this evening. Fairly dense population of severe reports showing up as the evening progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Steady rain, constant rumbling, occasional lightning, 102° hot tub… love to see/feel/hear it. Weather station has a 27mph wind gust, felt like more but lasted less than 5 seconds. Thoughts and prayers for the people camping near Chicago.

hawkeye_wx Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 It was a nice storm here. The worst wind was to my north where the line surged eastward. I got 60+ mph from the initial outflow, which knocked out our internet. I did not see any damage around my yard. The outflow quickly pushed southward, so the rain was fairly progressive. I received 0.69". It's not the 2+ inches we need, but it's something. I'd much rather have the training storms that set up over northern Illinois.

purduewx80 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 The excess lightning y'all reported may be at least partially due to aerosols from the Saharan Air Layer that streamed into the region yesterday. There is some evidence from this study and master's thesis to support that potential. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is all it was hear too with a grand total of a 1/2" of rain. There was one line heading this way with some CG but 3 miles prior to hitting MBY then it all went silent. Howell got it. Then the big rumbles 10 mins apart started. Too much too early in WI, IL and IA for a great event in most of MI. As usual SW MI got clipped and then the heavier storms hit lower counties into IN and OH. Glad it was basically what I was expecting once I looked at radar before going to bed. The storms I got in 6 days of vacation in the UP were better than what I have seen around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Pretty decent MCS pushing towards St. Louis. Shear's lacking, but it's tied to a MCV / cold pool and it has that "long-lived" look to it as well. Still appears to be somewhat elevated now, but per the SPC mesoanalysis page for 0-3km CAPE, the stable layer has almost eroded with clear skies ahead of it and convective temps being reached.
