Severe Threat - Feb 27-28th, 2024

[CheeselandSkies]

I do not like seeing warnings moving into the metro proper. Ugh.

Northern cluster of warnings heading right through the same area that got the twins last July. Lily Lake/Plato Center/Campton Hills/South Elgin.

About to move out of the TORR polygon...

New TORR.

 

[TH2002]

Moving right into Batavia. Highly populated area. Not good!

Nighttime tornadoes moving into one of the largest metro areas in the country, not ideal.

Chicago is now in the 10% hatched.

 

[cincywx]

a second couple is developing on the north side. this could be bad

 

[KCweatherboy]

Warnings are directly to my WSW, luckily I'm by Lake Michigan so they still have a way to go before they reach me. Conditions outside feel a lot more favorable for severe weather than they did this afternoon

 

[warneagle]

I was hoping for some destructive mergers as those cells congealed but that doesn't look like the case.

 

[JPWX]

First 10% SIG TOR hatch for Chicago area in February on record.

>8 million people in the latest SVR warning

 

[KCweatherboy]

Warning out North of Chicago, don't have Twitter link to it

Looks like O'Hare is in the polygon for the most recent warning?

 

[TornadoFan]

Iverness portion of the storm may be producing.

Pretty much all of Chicago is now under a warning, but the only really tight rotation I see at the moment is near South Barrington* headed toward Palatine/Buffalo Grove.

*Edit: Or Inverness.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Actually, looks like ORD is well south of the polygon.

Edit: But the TDWR is south of the airport. I think the airport itself is actually just within the polygon.

I'm just trying to imagine dealing with getting folks sheltered at O'Hare. They are in the polygon, and have had time to prepare, but still. Ick.

 

[TornadoFan]

Tornado now confirmed in Iverness, IL.

 

[Thanksgivingbrown]

Looks like Inverness took a direct hit

Meanwhile, SPC held on to the southern 10% hatched at 01Z, but no sign of anything firing down there.
