I thought I'd start a TALK for today, since no one else did 8)
Woke up to a tropical 73/72 and fog so thick I couldn't see the driveway 15 feet below me from the window. I just now fired up the computer to see the IA/MN MCS knocking on the western CWA's door with SPC and the local guys at ARX/MKX noting it may gain strength as it moves east....rarely does this happen.
Look like the main MCS is finally dying, but there is plenty of new convection out in front of it, which is parallel to I-39/90/94 from north of Tomah to well south of Rockford. Initally, it looked like the southern cells may remain discrete, but it looks as if a new squall line is forming. There is a boundary along the WI/IL line that appears to be the new forcing mechanism to tap the tropical air mass over S WI and N IL.
Looks good for a wind event, which I'll take at this point.
Stay tuned later in the day for new development in the IL/IN/Lower MI if this MCS doesn't hose it up.
