That's a lot of tornado warnings aiming this way in a couple hours...

Our quieter May is quickly being made up for this June. My goodness.

The southern Indiana storm looks mean on reflectivity but so far, nothing too crazy on velocity. Too many hand offs to really get anything impressive so far

Have heard least one fatality from the Mount Vernon IL tornado per a reliable source.

28 preliminary tornado reports already today. What an outbreak.

That’s what I was referring to earlier, but sounds like it is confirmed unfortunately. Heard it was related to mobile homes that were hit.

So, wasn't able to follow closely since I was attending a dinner theater show with my wife and my parents for Father's Day, but it sounds like we had the OWS supercell outbreak of the year on a slight risk day? Go figure.

2026 is really the year to expect the unexpected. There’s been a bunch of velocity signatures that hint strong tornadoes. On a slight risk day, I don’t think anyone truly saw this many tornadoes happening.

Definitely some debarking there. Probably from metal mobile home debris being thrown, which I’ve noticed has a “potato peeler” effect on bark, even at EF2 intensity. This damage is somewhere in the EF2 to EF3 range.

Cams have had a good generalized idea regarding today.
MCS develops Saturday night and last through into Sunday then begins to decay into a semi discrete storm mode in IL in the afternoon hours within a volatile parameter space. The likely hood of a tornado outbreak was quite high.
What the cams have failed to realize, was of course the magnitude of said tornado outbreak.
I was a work through most of the event, but can’t say even I was surprised.
I was expecting a rudimentary tornado outbreak where you have a couple of short lived spin ups, not multiple sig tors.

Who’s ready for another midwestern event? It’s only been the tenth thousandth time, anyone?

What’s more, don’t sleep on Ok tonight, discrete supercell that’s already in progress is expected to last at least until 1am, it will have ample chances to produce a tornado before the MCS to its northwest catches up with it.

Pretty rough day for the SPC imo
