Strong convection along the cold front is firing off scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms this evening. Some of these storms have the capability of producing pea-sized hail and even a rogue funnel cloud. The storms should be through here by 730 PM and then colder, windier conditions will prevail for the remainder of the evening.
"NARROW LINE OF CONVECTION/TSTMS HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF A STRONG PV FILAMENT ROTATING ABOUT THE LARGE NRN PLNS CYCLONE. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUDS AND SMALL HAIL ASSOCD WITH THE LOW-TOPPED CONVECTION. ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE NEWD...AWAY FROM THE UPR 40S/LWR 50S DEW POINTS AND INTO AN AIRMASS INFLUENCED BY THE COLDER LAKE MI WATERS...NAMELY ACROSS SERN WI AND CNTRL/NRN CHICAGOLAND. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A WEAKENING TREND. THUS...THE SMALL HAIL/BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUD THREATS WILL ONLY LAST UNTIL AROUND 00Z AT THE LATEST."
Some pictures I snapped of the approaching low topped convection moving in towards the area.
This was a more humor shot than anything! I barely snuck in the MD issued!!!
Closer and closer the line moves!
The line 10 minutes later, it is getting closer!!!!
