Everything turn out OK? Yeah no injuries or major damage. This is the second time they’ve had to evacuate the state fair this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

Have to agree that was the best night lightning I think I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Storms popped just to my east and wow impressive cloud deck. Don't get to see them this tall very often. I wish I could upload a Pic but quality and size of pic won't allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lapse rates being ass and lack of shear in the Metro saved us and yeah we don't need more destructive storms. 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...
