Vince Waelti (Rockford, IL) 27-Mar-20 10:12 AM
State Police here in IL released a FB post days ago stating they aren’t pulling people over to check their destination. I manage a private ambulance company in Northern IL. I spoke to the local sheriffs department official and they said they aren’t enforcing this unless there’s a large gathering of people somewhere that is obvious. He said also they most certainly aren’t particularly interested in enforcing it due to the fact they are trying to limit human contact as well. I do say one thing- we as chasers just need to be responsible and do things such as sanitize hands before/after pumping gas or opening doors so we do not unintentionally spread the virus.

12:48pm CDT #SPC Day2 Outlook Moderate Risk: extreme southeastern iowa into parts of northern illinois https://t.co/rEAejNpVr0
A RAPIDLY EVOLVING ENVIRONMENT WILL CHARACTERIZE THE ENH AND MDT RISK AREAS -- I.E. THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AREA -- DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD, AS THE UPPER SYSTEM CLOSES OFF AND THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS, AND EVENTUALLY OCCLUDES. EARLY-PERIOD CONVECTION ACROSS THE RISK AREA IS FORECAST TO SHIFT NORTHEASTWARD AND DISSIPATE, ALLOWING HEATING -- IN CONJUNCTION WITH RAPID STEEPENING OF MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES -- TO YIELD MODERATE DESTABILIZATION. NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT IS FORECAST TO OCCUR DURING THE MID AFTERNOON TIME FRAME IN THE FAR EASTERN IOWA/FAR NORTHEASTERN MISSOURI/NORTHWESTERN ILLINOIS AREA, AND CELLULAR MODE IS ANTICIPATED. PRONOUNCED LOW-LEVEL VEERING IN THE WIND FIELD -- PARTICULARLY IN THE VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS -- IS EXPECTED, WITH FLOW INCREASING TO SOUTHWESTERLY AT NEAR 100KT AT MID LEVELS, AS THE UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES. THE RESULTING SHEAR WILL BE STRONGLY SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG UPDRAFT ROTATION -- AND THUS ATTENDANT RISK FOR TORNADOES, A FEW OF WHICH COULD BE SIGNIFICANT. VERY LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE GIVEN UPDRAFT INTENSITY -- AIDED BY THE VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT AND STRENGTH OF THE SHEAR PROFILE. LOCALLY DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE LOCALLY, WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. PEAK TORNADO RISK THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON SHOULD BEGIN TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH INTO THE EVENING, AS DIURNAL COOLING BEGINS. STILL, SEVERE RISK -- INCLUDING POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL WITH ELEVATED STORMS NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT -- WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE DECREASING OVERNIGHT.
Darthteej 27-Mar-20 12:55 PM
I would argue this didn't escalate quickly
I've been confident in this event since it came into range. Synoptics have always been godly
Hodographs looked straight in early runs but given the ludicrous speed shear it's been the case that a tiny bit of backing would suddenly make them look ridiculous
What I didn't expect was the uptrending thermos (edited)
I mean this is just stupid
<<𝕭𝖔𝖇>> γƒœγƒ– 27-Mar-20 02:10 PM
When I referred to as escalated quickly, I did so in terms of the SPC jumping past the 10% sig enhanced that we all anticipated and went straight to a moderate. There were indications from the start, but definitely a few days back to now models really picked up significantly on this, and CAM's backed up that up and gave the support it needed.
Should've clarified because definitely was signalling a while back, just a bit surprised SPC went up the risk ladder so quickly per say, but It's warranted regardless

@Hexzie I hold to this mantra: "There will ALWAYS be another storm, just a matter of patience" Best not to rush it/push yourself, then you can get in trouble.
It is not worth it man. There will always be more, this may be a big event, but probably not "historic". The shelter in place thing will probably only last a few more weeks at most anyways (please don't spiral this into a political thing), so there will be plenty of chance to go later. IMO

The HRRR is trying to give some outstanding parameters in Central Iowa tomorrow afternoon, but I'm 95% sure it's contaminated
Morphtato 28-Mar-20 01:17 AM
SPC mentioning a possible High risk upgrade in later outlooks.
This parameter space along with low LCLs will support potential for supercells capable of producing long-track, strong tornadoes and very large hail. Assuming sufficient destabilization occurs, other supercells might develop in an arcing band within zone of ascent accompaying the primary vorticity maximum and just east of the surface low across central IA. These storms will also pose a risk for large hail and tornadoes. An upgrade to high risk will be considered in later day 1 updates for a portion of this region.

Clear skies after could maybe provide enough heating
Norman 28-Mar-20 07:55 AM
Reed Timmers livestream is interesting, he still thinks there could be a strong tornado threat but it would be in central IA if that shitty convection keeps pushing through
WeathermanEd (Chicago) 28-Mar-20 07:56 AM
Vince Waelti (Rockford, IL) 28-Mar-20 07:57 AM
I somewhat agree with that. Wording in the SPC update that they may consider area of increased risk at a later time should destabilization occur.
Norman 28-Mar-20 08:05 AM
...Mid Mississippi Valley and vicinity... Scattered thunderstorms are expected to form in episodic arcs from midday through this evening across parts of central/eastern IA, eastern MO, IL, and IN, moving northward to northeastward generally at 45-60 kt. This will include supercells with tornadoes (some long-tracked and significant at EF2+ damage levels), large and sometimes very large hail, and occasionally severe non-tornadic gusts. Given the fast storm motions, any tornadoes that do form may persist for nearly as many miles as minutes of time -- at least, until supercells cross more than a short distance into what should be a very sharp warm-frontal zone.
Wow

The fact that it's fast moving helps. That thing is hauling...
Norman 28-Mar-20 08:26 AM
Regardless if this somehow maintains through IA/NW IL, it’s going to rapidly push out and quickly destabilize, we are still in play. There’s still a strong tornado chance even if this convection pushes through or not

Norman 28-Mar-20 10:03 AM
All of these early blobs are going to move out quick of IL due to fast storm motions, and we will see rapid progress of the warm front to the north and we’ve already seen that. Keep in mind it’s only 10:00 AM over there and the main event isn’t until 4-6, trust me, we got time. Still wouldn’t rule out a high risk, but the risk will have to shift to the west. I think we can see more of a Eastern IA/portions of NW IL event
Also that once line of intense thunderstorms is now nothing
Vince Waelti (Rockford, IL) 28-Mar-20 10:04 AM
I'm staying near Davenport IA because of that. Might as well wait in the middle. You do have a very good point.
Norman 28-Mar-20 10:05 AM
But yeah the early blobs were on most modes yesterday, and again, we are back in action. (If this convection would’ve fired up later in the day, we could be sol, that would’ve really screwed us over). But yeah these small clusters don’t mean anything at this point. Now if it was a squall like it was earlier, we could’ve been in trouble. But still think a High is on the table and our first PDS Tor Watch of the year and decade is possible

Jeff House (Chattanooga, TN) 28-Mar-20 10:50 AM
I'd favor outflow boundary OFB that junk leaves over warm front WF. The WF is up on I-80/88 already but sharp - which could be sloppy. Meanwhile OFB is obvious in central Illinois (10:30am surface chart) and should remain a separate boundary. CAMs with renegade cells may be keying in on the OFB. CAVEAT I personally favor OFB>WF so maybe bias. Also I'm not chasing; so, can afford to make ALT calls. Chasers choice, but I like 1-2 cells at/east of OFB intersection with Pacific front / quaisi DL. Good luck and be safe! (edited)

What storm are you looking at @Hexzie
Hexzie 28-Mar-20 07:43 PM
The one entering WI right now from Prairie Du Chien, just hoping for some lightning
ChasingTheMeso.com 28-Mar-20 07:43 PM
Ah gotcha. I don't miss chasing out there. lol. #ForestNation
Good luck though!
Hexzie 28-Mar-20 07:48 PM
Thanks, it’s an interesting area for sure. If you find the right hill, you have a view for miles
ChasingTheMeso.com 28-Mar-20 07:48 PM
Very true. I mainly stuck to chasing in Southern/South Central Wisconsin when I lived in Wisco. Didn't have enough guts to chase up North or West in the forest's lol.
Hexzie 28-Mar-20 08:28 PM
I changed course, i like the Winslow storm along the IL WI border
ChasingTheMeso.com 28-Mar-20 08:33 PM
Ah nice. I'm familiar with that area.
Out near South Wayne.
Doesn't look to bad. Hopefully there is some lightning.
Hexzie 28-Mar-20 08:45 PM
That’s what I’m hoping for
Anything else is a treat

Exactly

@Grant Leighty Nice!
The sculpted updraft tower of a tornado warned supercell near Alexis, Illinois shortly after sunset this evening. ((You may have to click and open the photo for it to display completely))

What a day across the central U.S. Here's a funnel cloud over the a city in Illinois. A monster system produced several tornadoes and severe thunderstorms as it roared across the nation Saturday afternoon. Listen to one resident's reaction! https://t.co/QGPcYbnYH9
Unreal up close footage from Said Said in Jonesboro. He owns the Triple S Phones shop and stated the tornado came VERY quick. Scary footage. I can’t imagine. @ReedTimmerAccu @JimCantore #arwx https://t.co/KFWqpdKbEx

Some of the photos coming out of Jonesboro look like high end EF3 type damage.
T Beam (KCMO) 29-Mar-20 12:08 PM
That car mangled like that is only EF3?

I think so?
prombomb (Lafayette, IN) 29-Mar-20 01:25 PM
I was like 5-8 minutes behind, along with a whole slew of chasers. Almost became my first tornado. It was definitely the closest that I got. It just got too dark.
I had a great moment where everything all came together for me chasing the cell before that one. I will post about it on the Stormtrack forum, once I get my photos contrast enhanced (edited)
