This turned out to be our last day of chasing. At noon we met in the UWM weather map room to discuss the devloping weather stiuation for today. A moderate risk of severe weather, including tornadoes, was predicted for Nothern Illinois. We gathered our equipment and headed for Rockford and then South. We started heading west into Iowa.
Storms start popping to our west by a couple of counties.
Temperatures in eastern IA wre approaching 90 degrees with dew points near 70. More superecells developed in this region throughout the evening. It was challenging trying to get into safe viewing positions due to the fact that there were so many storms. More cells are forming to our west we head west southwest to view theses storms with the othere team of chasers. Gusty winds hit as we get into the outflow of some of these storms.
