Big linb down in neighbors back yard behind us. We saw the rotation in Florissant, before the tornado warning! Quite impressive.

I missed out on this storm!! 😭 Don't be so sure yet...looks like some backbuilding trying to happen around Elsberry back to Silex, although at least you missed the main event. |

Still does not look like 2006 yet. I remember being at the Ballpark and it was all bright looking and we looked North and it was Pitch Black. Never forget that. I said honey, think it would be a good idea to go elsewhere like your big old office building at US Bank. So we hustled our ! BACKSIDE ! out of there. If we would not have that the go to I would have just headed to one of the lower levels of a parking garage No, but kudos to the NWS team. Those people really do amazing work. |

Nearly continuous very long damage path originating in Nebraska associated with this MCS including several spaced out significant wind events. Numerous reports of large trees down in and around the metro as well. You see where I'm going with this...

Well, this is an interesting snippet from the morning disco: The warm front will lift north Wednesday night as low level flow turns to the west-southwest. The GFS spits out some light QPF after 06Z in response to the warm advection...however the ECMWF and NAM are dry over our area so will hold off adding PoPs for now. Of more concern is Thursday afternoon/evening. Both the GFS and NAM are developing a strong MCS over Iowa, and then turning it southeast and moving the system along the Mississippi River late Thursday afternoon into the evening. Both models are showing some pretty
extreme instability with MLCAPE in the afternoon in excess of 5000
J/Kg ahead of the MCS track. This set up is reminiscent of the July
19th 2006 derecho which impacted western Illinois and eastern
Missouri. We currently have a dry forecast on Thursday and Thursday evening and we still have a little while to watch this develop in the models, but Thursday afternoon and evening could get very interesting. Regardless of precip chances, it looks hot on Thursday at the beginning of our heat wave with highs likely reaching the mid and upper 90s. High humidity in the wake of rain earlier in the week will likely produce heat index values in excess of 105 degrees across most if not all of the forecast area. Just going to leave this right here. |

Chris has a live shot on Facebook and has a HUGE tree snapped off near Portage Des Sioux. Looks to be a healthy tree, too

Large part of the tree in my front yard snapped off. Probably 20 feet long and 6-8” in diameter. Luckily it didn’t fall anywhere but in the yard.

Posting this shortly...  That's a pretty damn good forecast. Especially considering modeling, SPC thinking, and the marginal environment (lack of shear). |

Light pole snapped and across the road at Flying J in Alorton. No power there, and every tree at the nursery across the stteet is laid on its side. 255 was flooded just before Rte 15 exits.

To be honest I wasn't really expecting much around here. |

It’s neat watching these clouds get sucked into the cell in central Jeff county right now.

The high today was 96F at the airport. Assuming the dewpoint was 75F at the time that puts the heat index at 108F.
