Severe Threat - Feb 27-28th, 2024

[KCweatherboy]

I'm just north of Chicago and temps are 72/53.

Doesn't feel humid enough for anything significant, but I'll have to keep an eye out for changes.

Champaign at 19z was 70/61 (although with a pretty stout cap still in place) so I wouldn’t get too comfortable just yet.

My main concern with this setup now is that LL shear (quite paltry on the sounding above) won't really increase until well after dark when instability starts to wane. I'd wager that 10% hatched is on the conditional chance that a cell finds the overlap around 02Z or so.

Yeah it’s not a big window spatially or temporally but all it takes is one.

Watch is up for the northern threat area, including the Chicago metro area.

The main fire in the panhandle is up to 200,000 acres in a little over 24 hours, insane.

Very bad situation ongoing in Fritch as well.

Storm initation is occurring near Davenport, IA. The severe-warned cell east of the city is looking particularly impressive.

Storms are moving pretty slow, only around 25 MPH.

Our daughter lives in Shattuck, Ok. I've been on the phone with her trying to direct her family out of the area to safety. They've evacuated her town. The smoke was pretty thick but they're heading in a good direction now. It is a scary situation for sure.

CC is noisy, but maybe a TDS south of Geneseo?

The cell east of Viola, IL is developing a heck of a hook.

Timmer is in the area of the TOR warning. Hopefully his moderator will shut up for a couple minutes and let Reed stream the storm. I can't emphasize enough how unwatchable that guy has made Reed's stream

I haven't seen much in the way of tight rotation. Maybe for 1 scan.

This, I can't stress that enough. His stuff is unwatchable because of him.
