Y o s

We finally have a event page for tomorrow

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 08-Aug-21 02:27 PM

2% shifted north with a 5% in the talks

2

However, there is potential for substantial redevelopment during the afternoon across northern IL/IN into the lower OH Valley, provided that sufficient heating can occur. While any afternoon storms would pose a threat of at least isolated damaging wind and hail, potential exists for favorable low/midlevel flow fields to develop across northern IL/northwest IN, where a couple supercells may develop with an associated threat of a tornado or two. Portions of the area may eventually require an upgrade, depending on shorter-term observational and guidance trends.

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 08-Aug-21 05:02 PM

Yeah tomorrow looks good

5% potential

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 08-Aug-21 05:23 PM

Things you love to see

Ed Tierney (Oak Lawn, IL) 09-Aug-21 12:06 AM

If I can get off work in time, Rochelle might be an initial target

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 09-Aug-21 01:01 AM

I may head west with my friend too

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

5% potential

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 09-Aug-21 01:12 AM

My predicted 5% zone. Used AWIPS to make this

That’s pretty accurate

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 09-Aug-21 01:14 AM

Awesome, we shall see if they do it there

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 09-Aug-21 01:16 AM

I’m headed out tomorrow

Im surprised too, id have upgraded to 5% right where i had it. it is a slight but for wind

Probably upgrade at a later update

Like with MN/WI

Upgraded to 5%, more NW/SE than the earlier map

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 09-Aug-21 10:03 AM

@Norman Smith (Racine, OH) are you still inbound? if so, whats your N IL ETA?

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN)

@Norman Smith (Racine, OH) are you still inbound? if so, whats your N IL ETA?

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 09-Aug-21 10:08 AM

South of Rochelle

Ehhh 4 hours

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 09-Aug-21 10:11 AM

Ok. I will see when I get off work. I am hoping to chase with @Jonathan DeGraw (IN) , but if he can't make it I will try to link up with you, caravan, if thats ok with you. Don't wait on me though, I will be there by 2:00 cdt at the earliest.

This setup is right in my wheelhouse

Ed Tierney (Oak Lawn, IL) 09-Aug-21 10:26 AM

I might not have to leave home at this rate

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 09-Aug-21 10:27 AM

I am thinking near Rockford as a good initial intercept point. If I could be there at 2:00 cdt I would. As it stands I will be lucky to get there by 3 cdt. Hopefully initiation is delayed a bit. Its the kind of day to jump on stuff early.

Matthew Gaylor (OKC, OK) 09-Aug-21 10:42 AM

Today looks good with my limited look at it.

Just need storms to stay discrete.

Got a low that’s in an environment that’s typically like an MCV (edited)

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 09-Aug-21 10:49 AM

Going to be NP but very slow moving supercells. So, once the cold pool gets formed nothing will be able to stay prefrontal. But, That may be held off for a while, due to a more southerly supercell motion.

Jonny Glessner (Ohio) 09-Aug-21 10:55 AM

Yeah I think we could probably squeeze a two hour window of semi discreet modes

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 09-Aug-21 11:35 AM

I like a chase where the storms more or less chase me home from my target

Looks like that's how it's going to be today

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 09-Aug-21 11:40 AM

I like that

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 09-Aug-21 11:42 AM

3CAPE?

James T. (NW OH) 09-Aug-21 11:43 AM

Yes

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 09-Aug-21 11:43 AM

175

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 09-Aug-21 11:44 AM

The upper level support is very tenuous. But the low level shear and thermals should be good to very good.

Cameron (KMXX | GA) 09-Aug-21 11:52 AM

Cheat code grunge wedge today

Ed Tierney (Oak Lawn, IL) 09-Aug-21 11:52 AM

If anyone will be attempting metro chasing, do not use 294 unless it looks ok on maps traffic. Use 355 as your N/S option if possible. Monday lately has been the best of the PM rush hours for the work week so you might luck out in sections

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 09-Aug-21 12:36 PM

@Ed Tierney (Oak Lawn, IL) excellent advice. I’m using 355 and 88

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

South of Rochelle

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 09-Aug-21 12:39 PM

I should be in Montgomery in about 2 hours, then I’ll head by Rochelle later on (edited)

Ed Tierney (Oak Lawn, IL) 09-Aug-21 01:05 PM

Gonna see if I can get out of work a little early this afternoon

Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE) 09-Aug-21 01:30 PM

Good luck near Chicago boys

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL)

Looks like that's how it's going to be today

Nathan M (Neosho, Mo) 09-Aug-21 03:02 PM

Those are the best. I rarely chase unless I’m chasing in the direction of home

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 09-Aug-21 04:10 PM

Today looked good, and it’s performing. Congrats to those in the area that went out.

Josh S. (Crest Hill, IL) 09-Aug-21 07:50 PM

4 tors today. Doubled my lifetime total in 4 hours.

Jonathan DeGraw (IN) 09-Aug-21 08:31 PM

Hey @Norman Smith (Racine, OH) and @Jonny Glessner (Ohio), @Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) would like to know if you'd to meet up for steak after the chase??

Jonny Glessner (Ohio) 09-Aug-21 08:32 PM

I gotta head home

Got at least 4 tornadoes today. Career chase for me so far

Jonathan DeGraw (IN) 09-Aug-21 08:33 PM

We got at least two, maybe three

Nathan M (Neosho, Mo) 09-Aug-21 08:33 PM

I’m glad you Midwest guys are getting some storms. Bring it back down south next year

Jonathan DeGraw (IN) 09-Aug-21 08:39 PM

Well, if any of yall out here in Illinois wanna meet up for some steak before heading home, let us know

Ed Tierney (Oak Lawn, IL) 09-Aug-21 08:40 PM

My wife requested culvers lol

Was her first tornado

Jonathan DeGraw (IN) 09-Aug-21 08:41 PM

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 09-Aug-21 11:17 PM

Wow what a day!

Made some good moves and some bad moves but I think I saw 6 tornadoes

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 09-Aug-21 11:32 PM

I saw 3!

Best day of my life getting the sycamore beast. @Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL)

We got that one, Kirkland, then the big boy in Sycamore

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:27 AM

Sycamore was definitely a Sig

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

Sycamore was definitely a Sig

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:37 AM

Dude i was right in front of it. Damage was bad, but no one was hurt. Scary thing is it was all teenage girls

They knew what to do but when I walked up to them they looked terrified

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:37 AM

We are still trying to head home lmao

That was one hell of a day

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

That was one hell of a day

I’m home already and in bed man. Best day of my life hands down

Wish we met you but next time hopefully

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:38 AM

Yeah man i wish we could’ve

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:38 AM

I was in the actual town of sycamore when it apparently touched down but I caught up with it

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:38 AM

Y’all are gonna be mind blown at my footage of Sycamore

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:39 AM

i'm looking forward to it!

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:39 AM

Also the multi-vortex after sycamore was nuts too

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:39 AM

did it wedge out towards the end? or at least become a very broad circulation? that's what it looked like from my view

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

It was the entire circulation with suction vortices

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

it was huge then

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

It tried to wedge out but couldn’t

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

Y’all are gonna be mind blown at my footage of Sycamore

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

Dude did you see mine blow up on Twitter?! I was like 500 yards away!

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

Yeah that’s crazy

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

i caught some of the vorticies dancing around the main circulation on tape

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

So did we. There were several

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:40 AM

I was hella close to that multi-vortex tornado

2

Zero-Metering

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:41 AM

Even closer

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:41 AM

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:41 AM

I was nearly on top of it. It spawned just to my west then charged East, passing south of me

Just southeast of downtown sycamore

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:42 AM

Hot

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:42 AM

i'm looking forward to seeing surveys

i don't know how long each tornado was down for

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:43 AM

Actually

The multi vortex I may have been in

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:43 AM

Me too. If I wasn’t extremely busy tomorrow packing for uni, I would get back in the car and go help survey

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:43 AM

i'm pretty sure I was in it too

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:43 AM

The entire base was spinning like a top but no vortices touched down

But 70-80 MPH winds

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:43 AM

i saw a roof fly by at one point as was like wtf

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:44 AM

LMAO

How bad was the damage in town?

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:44 AM

i didn't encounter much damage but didn't cross those paths really

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:44 AM

In sycamore?

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:44 AM

i saw a low of debris flying though

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:45 AM

Or is this that barn in Esmond

That thing was completely destroyed

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:46 AM

nah this was the sycamore one I'm referring to

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU)

In sycamore?

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:46 AM

Yes

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:46 AM

i'm not even sure which tornado this one was

i'll figure it out when I pull my GPS coordinates

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

Yes

Diego Garcia (DeKalb, IL - NIU) 10-Aug-21 01:47 AM

I encountered the worst of the damage. Bethany Road and Airport Road, lemme show you some pics we took

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:48 AM

Ight also badass timelapse Drake

@Norman Smith (Racine, OH) @Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL)

Norman Smith (Racine, OH) 10-Aug-21 01:57 AM

They’re lucky some of those helix’s didn’t hit their home

Never seen a helix in person but I know those are usually in strong/violent tornadoes

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 01:58 AM

oh wow i'm glad they are ok!

those trees, yikes

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 11:08 AM

I am glad I left GPS and fixed the timestamp on my dashcam at the start of the chase. Yesterday overperformed like nothing I have ever chased before. That Sycamore Sig was the most incredible weather event I have ever witnessed. The way it was chucking those trees up hundreds of feet, along with those very large sections of sheet metal. scary!

Norman Smith (Racine, OH)

They’re lucky some of those helix’s didn’t hit their home

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 11:09 AM

I saw some of them yesterday. I also saw my first power flash.

Yesterday was my career defining day so far. I thought I was going to be late and miss the show. When that Rockford cell was dying down and nothing else was happening I was sure I was going to bust. But that instability gradient nosed in from the south along with the LLJ. Then IL warm front did IL warm front.

Great job man, definitely a shot of the year for you, but probably not a shot of a lifetime.

You are now officially a big dog. Any shot you get will probably garner a couple thousand views minimum, you’ll probably have even more viral content in the future. Just keep up the hard work man and it will keep paying off!

How many followers did you gain?

Ouch sorry to hear that man

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 08:06 PM

I managed to get most of the chase on my DSLR, but all of our in car conversation and the rain wrapped multivortex was only on my dashcam

I am not sure if it is breaking, or if Jonny did not properly turn it back on

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN)

So, my dashcam was apparently not recording all of yesterday... Just a bit miffed!

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 11:13 PM

my front dash cam or the memory card shit the bed mid way through my chase yesterday

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 11:13 PM

Basically the same for me. Got a timelapse of my drive, then it corrupted 2 files, then nothing

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 11:14 PM

the last frame it captured is pretty badass though

my rear dashcam caught a ton of stuff though. i'm super happy I put one of those in

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 11:14 PM

nice

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN)

Basically the same for me. Got a timelapse of my drive, then it corrupted 2 files, then nothing

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 11:14 PM

are the corrupted files big? they might be repairable

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 11:15 PM

They are decent enough. How should I go about attempting to repair?

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 11:15 PM

i mean are they big in size?

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 11:16 PM

Yea, I don't know off the top of my head, but I saved them

Drake Anthony (Peoria, IL) 10-Aug-21 11:16 PM

if the size of the file is big like a normal video file, there's a good chance data can be recovered from them

there are lots of ways to go about that if you want to attempt that. i'm no expert on it, but i've been able to salvage video files with VLC media player by following some tutorials online. there is also dedicated video repair software out there

Joey Prom (Lafayette, IN) 10-Aug-21 11:20 PM

I will give it a shot. I also plan to reformat my SD card before I try recording again with the dashcam. Maybe that will fox it

For next time
