A-L-E-K Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Quality garden variety, held it's own for us to get a good soak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 If the lunchtime line can put a nice boundary down, it may get pretty dicey this evening. Van Wert to Findlay would be an outstanding place from a chase perspective to scout out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Pretty good soaker and a great light show going in here over lunch. A little better than I expected. GRR mentioned weaking as they came on shore and moved east so I wasn't expecting too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 The environment around here won’t be bad this afternoon, right under the head of the jet streak and with a small plume of better ML lapse rates.Could have a sneaky decent last minute severe threat across the area for a brief window this afternoon, before things quickly slide into MI/IN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Today and tomorrow look pretty volatile across a fairly large expanse of real estate. Indiana today seems like the best bet for chasing, good recovery going on in behind the earlier line of storms plus winds are staying more backed than the RAP was indicating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King James Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Sitting right on the IL/IN, like my spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Yeah I agree with Andy on Indiana above. Illinois boundary right now enjoys more instability. However Indiana convergence zone will have a ton of SRH. Plus it'll destabilize too. I have always preferred the eastern of two surface troughs when chasing east of the Mississippi River. Midwest, Mid-South, Deep South. Then more upper level support is over Indiana. Need to catch the right entrance/rear of the upper jet, which is somewhat departing Illinois. Now there's a Plains short-wave coming out, but that is the overnight stuff. Daytime I think Indiana. LLJ also hangs in better Indiana vs Illinois.

Powerball Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Nasty-looking hail core moving through Joliet right now. Easily Golfball to Baseball-Sized Hail with that. And it would be making a B-Line through Chicago proper if it maintains intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Increasing svr risk for central and northern IN as cells approach from the sw. Helicity not all that high yet but will slowly increase thru the afternoon and evening. High tor parameters are focused for the southern parts but we all know what happened north of Tulsa yesterday.

Floydbuster Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Looks like the action should weaken by central and eastern Ohio by 2-3am, thankfully. The most high quality stuff should be impacting Indiana currently and the next couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares what’s happening at 2am, we need to worry about what’s happening in 3 hrs(central Ohio). Hard to imagine much weakening is going to happen in that time…probably the opposite.
