Your Turn is tomorrow afternoon, Christine, as action shifts EWD into the OH VLY.

Well according to my hubby we don't get them cause of the lake....remember? *CACKLES and rolls her eyes* But actually i think central IL gonna get wacked more then us..ya never know though

that CAN be a factor at times, and you are on the NW periphery of the risk area, but still a good potential for SVR nonetheless.

These storms just N of KC just won't END! These supercells have been going since about 5-6pm and I've still got NWS reports of tornadoes spotted by local law enforcement.

and you got the line associated w/ the dry line back to the west

[simplykristi]

Gonna be a long night here

well, snoop, i got some more good news for ya, as the line across the central part of the state appears to be translating into linear MCS, which will continue to maintain its intensity courtesy of strong LLJ even into the KCMO area later on.



Noticing some pretty high base reflectivity returns on radar, and w/o looking at VIL's theres still a good chance that those are LARGE hail and DMG straight line wind producers.

[snoopj]

There goes my chance to sleep tonight. I'm debating on whether to get some sleep now and let the storms wake me up, or just wait until they get here, then sleep.

Hope all were safe last night... And are ready for next round a little further east this afternoon/evening

There's two factors involved ...

Yes, the Central IL region gets whacked harder in most cases. As mentioned, the lake breeze can be a stabilizing factor, along with sometime the urban heat island has shown to disrupt tornadic circulations on the SFC ... but it's not a guarantee solution, whatsoever.

Definitely be on guard today ... the situation in Northern IL is a little uncertain at this time whether, although parameters should come together quite nicely even for the Chicago region to get into some nasty stuff ...

I am safe... Nothing here at my house. It all went north of me.

Thanks for reporting in this am Kristi. We were following the KC MO area storms also, to say the least!!!! Best I can tell from reports there were at least 2 if not 3 seperate tornados just to the N of your area.

[snoopj]

At least? Like I said in another topic, at one time, there were 3 very distinct rotation signatures from radar with at least two reports of tornadoes on the ground when the storm was near Cameron. From there, rotations built up at least 3 more times after those storms moved through. This doesn't even count the 2-3 hours before that happened. That supercell just keep generating new rotation signatures over and over and over and over again. I don't know if the NWS calls each seperate tornadoes, but to me, I believe I would.

[Pebbles]

OK>...which one of you sent that stuff my way? *winks*

[simplykristi]

I have been watching news reports this morning.. Looks like three people were killed near Weatherby MO (north of Cameron).

Kristi

[wx247]

I saw that Kristi... a man and two women, right?

I heard that the man was trying to cover his kids. How sad!

[simplykristi]

Right.. Two women and a man dead near Weatherby MO. The four kids that he was trying to protect were taken to the hospital. Not sure if any were injured or not. Lots of damage in Plattsburg MO but no reports of injuriees there.
