I see two discrete supercells on NWS radar. Mesocyclones near Wheaton Illinois and one near Joliet Illinois.

Now they've spread the warning into Cook. Rain delay in the White Sox-Yankees game on the south side. Calm for now in the northern burbs of Chicago.

It's about time. What good is tornado season without some tornados?

Intellicast Sterling Rock Radar Loop

Be sure to check the County and Highway overlay boxes when you view this loop. Looks like a fast moving system.

Latest from the NWS Storm Prediction Center. Looks like my initial analysis is playing out.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0400 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0855 PM CDT TUE APR 20 2004
AREAS AFFECTED...NRN IL...NRN IND...FAR SRN WI...SWRN MI AND NWRN OH
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 95... VALID 210155Z - 210300Z
TORNADOES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITH LOW-TOPPED SUPERCELLS AS THEY
MOVE ENEWD AND CROSS THE WARM FRONT OVER FAR NRN IL /INCLUDING THE
CHICAGO METRO AREA/...NRN IND...AND FAR NWRN OH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS. THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES NORTH AND EAST OF WW 95 WILL
LIKELY BE LIMITED BY INCREASING STABILIZATION OVER SRN WI AND SWRN
MI AND NWRN OH IN THE NEXT 2 HOURS. WW 95 IS ANTICIPATED TO EXPIRE
AT 21/04Z.
DIURNAL STABILIZATION AND ELY FLOW FROM THE COOLER GREAT LAKE WATERS
SHOULD LIMIT THE NWD EXTENT OF HIGHER INSTABILITY NORTH OF AREAS
FROM THE IMMEDIATE CHICAGO AREA EWD INTO NWRN OH...WHERE MUCAPES
AROUND 500 J/KG STILL EXISTED ALONG A WARM FRONT. STRONG LOW LEVEL
SHEAR WITH 0-1 KM SRH FROM 300-550 J/KG AS EVIDENT ON REGIONAL VWP/S
WILL MAINTAIN THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES WITH ANY STORMS THAT MOVE
ACROSS THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM NEAR THE CHICAGO
METRO AREA TO JUST SOUTH OF FT. WAYNE OVER THE NEXT HOUR.

Thanks much for the initial post. Would have been unaware without it. The real world doesn't intrude when I am on the net (until the tornado hits)!

It looks like it has gone south of me in Buffalo Grove; good luck to all of those in the directly impacted zone.

The weather in this country seems strange this year. When I was in Boston a few weeks ago (second week of March), it was snowing. Yesterday, it was eighty five degrees for the Boston Marathon.

Best of luck to all of you in the Illinois area.
