Torchageddon Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I'm in the tiny SLIGHT today here in SON, Wunderground indicates chance of hail in some of those storms. Warming up fast to 29C later.

But, modest enhancement to the west-southwesterly low/mid-level flow should be present over parts of Lower MI this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Activity around here on Tuesday evening/night had prolific lightning production. It was probably a top 10 light show. Ended up with a peak wind gust of 53MPH at ORD, with some blowing dirt/dust for awhile as well, as it has been dry and outflow winds were well ahead of any rain/t'storm activity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Cells just starting to form near Kingsbridge ON which will be heading towards me by dinner. That line north is okay but becoming better defined. Delayed a bit from my hourlies, rainfall amounts reduced. Hearing some thunder since 4:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resize, and change format (GIF), and they will be small enough to upload here without using a ton of bytes. I do this with all pics, if necessary, even NWS story board graphics.

Not following severe weather and these parameters you just mentioned, it definitely felt muggy enough and with full sun I didn't expect the storms to fizzle. Just goes to show you how much goes into severe forecasting. Nws issued a watch so I think they thought the parameters were good enough but nonetheless they fizzled and you out meteorology'd them lol. Perhaps they were just playing it safe and getting the word out because as stated, many just went through bad storms a few days before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 A few pop-up severe storms in the region today, still hearing booms from the one that just rolled through southwest Madison. Almost looks like a legit supercell here in far SE MN approaching the MS River, although that outflow suggests production is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today feels like June or July 21st, not September 21st with the afternoon popup-style, and occasionally severe storms. Very strange feeling to say the least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Out of the blue (or gray), two tornadoes touched down last evening within 50 miles of here. One in Jay County, near the town of Portland, and other between Yorktown and Muncie in Delaware County. Both are in East Central IN. IWX is calling Jay Co. a traditional tornado, while there is some speculation at IND about the Delaware Co. tornado: "It may have been a 'hybrid' tornado with some storm scale rotation and some more landspout-like stretching of vertical vorticity processes occurring, but that's speculation." A friend of mine from Yorktown messaged me a pic of that one that he caught. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I KNEW that I should have made a play on the warm front, but decided against it at the last minute. I even know the road network pretty well up there. Also, the storm motion was such that it would have been an easy chase. It was a marginal threat for spinners and it was expected that they most likely would be fairly weak, but you don't get very many chances to chase in this part of the country. Public Information Statement National Weather Service Northern Indiana 450 PM EDT Wed Sep 25 2024 /350 PM CDT Wed Sep 25 2024/ ...NWS Damage Survey for 09/24/24 Event... Thunderstorms developed along a warm front, resulting in the development of a total of 4 tornadoes. We would like to extend our thanks to the spotters, public and media outlets that passed on reports during the event, as well as emergency management officials that assisted in investigating the damage. ..Noble County IN EF1 Tornado...

As it continued northward, some of the strongest damage was sustained to a house, which had some of its roofing ripped off and a wall pushed in. Other houses and farm buildings sustained roof damage and more trees were knocked down or snapped as it continued on crossing highway 6. One large chicken building had its entire outer shell removed. It came to an end just before the Noble/Lagrange county line. ..Lagrange County EF1 Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.92 miles Path Width /maximum/: 125 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 2 Start Date: 09/24/2024 Start Time: 05:01 PM EDT Start Location: 2 NE Oliver Lake / Lagrange County / IN Start Lat/Lon: 41.5975 / -85.3706 End Date: 09/24/2024 End Time: 05:08 PM EDT End Location: 2 SSW Plato / Lagrange County / IN End Lat/Lon: 41.6176 / -85.3453 Survey Summary: The storm that caused tornadic damage to Noble county intensified again and moved northeast.

sbnwx85 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Very thankful these were weak tornadoes. The track for the St. Joseph County one was through a Meijer parking lot and across Main Street. If it were stronger and stayed on the ground a hospital was next followed by my workplace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Resurrecting this for perhaps the final or penultimate time. Much of our subforum in at least a marginal risk today. And a few areas to the east seeing a marginal risk tomorrow. Day 1 Day 2: RAP and NAM showing potential for a possible spin up as the front moves through tomorrow late morning thru the afternoon particularly to my east. Nothing worth chasing IMO but something to keep an eye on locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
