Storm seems to have re-established a connection with the warm air, inflow screaming north into the meso now. But air is very cold. Looks like very cold lake breeze (in the 40sF) is mixing in. Thinking storm may be able to ramp up again soon.

Got a small rotating wall cloud in one of the western storms, but it didn’t convert to a tornado.
I think we were a little bit on the wrong side of the temperature boundary so there was a cold layer on the surface. There was a ~15°F temperature difference a short drive apart.

Northern Indiana storm appears to be finished with its tornado phase. Lightning, VIL core and radar presentation appears to indicate a permanent weakening. Beginning the 5-hour drive home. A pretty wild chase. Observed four tornadoes today (2 Illinois daytime, 2 Indiana nighttime). Log coming eventually!
