Jeff House (Chattanooga, TN) 19-Jun-21 11:17 AM
Sunday thoughts. Lead / MCV wave may produce over in Indiana. CAMs verbatim is not a good chase mode, but that could change. I do believe it’ll drop an OFB that stretches back to Iowa. Should be enough southerly push to lift the said OFB toward the synoptic WF. I believe where low level SRH is maximized around boundaries, second wave of thunderstorms (the line) will have some better cells than NWP shows verbatim. I’d give the MCV a chance, but don’t stay too long. Be prepared to adjust to the west target from eastern Iowa into western Illinois.

Of course, HRRR wants to lift the warm front north away from that storm. 18z NAM wants to move an MCS through IA and have supers form and grow upscale from that complex in the IA/WI/IL border.

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 20-Jun-21 12:55 AM
Well, we will see what the models hold for tomorrow. Its kind of a question, which mode will dominate. The Lead MCS, or will that remain weak and allow for discrete initiation along the warm front in IL, followed by a raging cold front qlcs. Could be a long day for N IL. Could conceivably see both modes working, if the moisture return is strong enough.

No more prefrontal initiation. Also the lead MCS is no more. Just cold front now. NAM 3k is more hopeful. Neither model is showing the strong crisp warm front anymore.
Still plenty of helicity, 3CAPE is a problem in NW IL, Cloud cover is a problem until the clear slot pushes in at 6

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 20-Jun-21 10:32 AM
Interesting. My gut is telling me to target W IA, play the prefrontal semi discrete/broken line. Thats where the 3CAPE is, thats where the shear is. But its easy enough to adjust back into IL. Latest HRRR run has brought back the prefrontal action, but it also reinvigorated the midday central IL tail end charlie play

I do like that there are multiple potential targets today. Spread the chasers out. I feel like half of us will bust hard, the other half will get a good to great chase. But who knows. Maybe there is enough energy that both targets work out. We can always hope right?

One thing I notice for Indiana is warming mid-level temps around 00Z, not so good. I think I still like Illinois better. Follow the outflow from midday rain, hopefully back north into the quality shear parameters. Could also be eastern Iowa. I’m not at all sold on northern Missouri, though the terrain is doable north of I-70. Meanwhile as I look at all this I realize I should have chased South Carolina today. Too late to catch up now.

I tell people that even relatively small tornadoes are on a scale most people would call large. I just think from the perspective of the average public “large and extremely dangerous” conjures up images of Joplin or Moore, and often aren’t representative of the actual situation even if it is a threat.

I have not seen much dual pole imagery. At the time I was out. I think visual combined with nasty dual pole might be prudent. Not sure this case b/c I have not seen the radar in detail. What I’ve seen online had the signature, but not lofting debris to 10K feet signature. (edited)

We drove to Davenport, got there by 530pm, then turned around and drove back into IL. We were also in the Chicago metro when those tornados came through, but on the S side. Some days you just make all the wrong targeting decisions.
