Ginger is ready to roll, and she’s taking all of you with us @StormCat5_ @EdgarONealWX @ReedTimmerUSA @stormfrontfreak @MyRadarWX @chase_archive

@JonasWX23 @WeatherChickenx I saw that. Stay safe in Iowa. Maybe one of these days we can head out together.

@HeyKevDad @WeatherChickenx Expanded 5# into that region
Have fun, stay safe, and bag something for the locals 😎

Since last night, the HRRR 21z has consistently placed a supercell near the Illinois Indiana border east of Kankakee. @WeatherChickenx and I are going to target that area this afternoon.

English

@MatthewCappucci We will be along the Indiana/Illinois border around 1:30 or so. Probably set up just south and west of Kankakee

Also have to keep an eye on Indiana and perhaps southern Michigan. for Damaging winds & perhaps some tornado risk.

Tricky setup today. I understand the 10%. Can't say I'm a believer. Thermodynamics will have to do some heavy lifting. Could be a window of opportunity for strong longer lived tornado. But, will think we'd have to see motion closer to the upshear. Would have preferred 5% for this reason. As I can see how today's setup underperforms at a marginal risk level tornado wise.

@WeatherChickenx @JonasWX23 @WxGabe @MatthewCappucci What the hell.
Yeah. You’re staying in school. I’m chasing alone. May drive right into it, like on @OutbrkGame

@WxGabe @MatthewCappucci Party at my house!!! haha. I'll probably be pulling @WeatherChickenx out of 9th grade to chase this.
English

@HeyKevDad @MatthewCappucci I think that is exactly on point. Instability is lower -- but helicity is stronger. And you really don't need a lot of instability with very strong low-level shear for a tornado.
English

@WxGabe I'll be curious to see if that enhanced risk slides a little over into Indiana. @MatthewCappucci mentioned it earlier today.
English

@HeyKevDad Yeah... same. Think a long-track tornadic supercell isn't out of the question.
English

The latest HRRR puts some supercells just south of Lake County, Indiana on the 21z. @WeatherChickenx and I are trying to decide where to set up, and will be interested to see the morning runs.
English

The Storm Prediction Center has just upgraded tomorrow’s risk (April 2) across the Midwest to an Enhanced Risk and increased tornado probabilities. A few tornadoes are likely, some of which may be strong and fast-moving, along with damaging winds and large hail. If you live anywhere in the orange and yellow highlighted areas, please have multiple ways to receive watches and warnings!
