And pop they go! One cell in MY barely moving. Talk about a localized downpour wow.

Drizzle here with Thunder in the distance. Classic mid summer day. Dark gray skies with patches of towering white nimbus around. Humidity feels like it's about to collapse me



Thunder sounds deep. Dews near 80! #Fuel

What it looks like from Satellite. 11:35am-3:35pm Loop.


I see wind damage & Hail report under there. Temps went from 90s to low 80s. Warm Rain?

Flash Flood Warnings went up

small cell near me; just missing me. I can feel a cool breeze. Need steeper lapse rates

IN WHAT MAY BE A PREVIEW OF THINGS TO COME THIS
AFTERNOON...KOKX RADAR SHOWED AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM INITIATING
OVER NEWARK NJ AROUND 1630Z...AND THEN PROPAGATING ONLY AROUND 5
MILES TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER THE NEXT 60 MINUTES. DUAL POL RAIN
RATES WERE ESTIMATED TO BE APPROACHING 2 IN/HR. THIS ISOLATED
STORM WAS NOW SITUATED IN AN ENHANCED CUMULUS FIELD PER GOES-16
VISIBLE SATELLITE...STRETCHING ALONG THE I-95 CORRIDOR FROM DC TO
NYC METRO AREA...AND THEN EXTENDING UP INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
HI-RES MODELS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION
IN THIS SAME CORRIDOR ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A STRONG
INSTABILITY AXIS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...ROUGHLY IN THE BEST
OVERLAP OF INSTABILITY AND HIGH PW VALUES. CIRA BLENDED TPW VALUES
WERE AROUND 1.8 INCHES...ABOVE THE 95TH PERCENTILE PER CSFR
CLIMATOLOGY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. PWATS OF THIS MAGNITUDE...IN
COMBINATION WITH THE STRONG INSTABILITY...SHOULD BE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN A RISK OF 2 IN/HR RAIN RATES THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.

Thunder stopped here. Dying out. It's staying away from the coast. Wonder if both lapse rates and a marine layer is killing it.

Flight leaves at 9:20 tonight. At 3pm MDW and IKK are at 91F, ORD is at 89F under sunny skies. Humidity is creeping up

Finally got some rain today!! We hadn't had any measurable rain in over a month. Knocked the temps from 91f to 69f at 4pm. Feels great. My garden needed it.

Only got .20" today. But at least it is nice and cloudy now.
