Link To Amateur Video Of South Suburban Chicago Tornado



A tornadic thunderstorm supercell took a long track northeastward across the southern Chicagoland suburbs Saturday afternoon.


HERE is a YouTube video someone took of the tornado formation southwest of Chicago around 4pm- near Odell- Illinois.
Another video HERE.

No deaths have yet been reported with around a dozen mostly minor injuries so far- according to FOX News-Chicago reports.

There is apparently a long track of varying damage from southwest of Chicago clear to Lake Michigan near Hammond-Indiana- with substantial damage in a few far southside suburbs.

At least a half-dozen homes heavily damaged or destroyed throughout the affected area- along with at least one apartment complex heavily-damaged in Richton Park.

A serious rain/flood threat will exist overnight from north-central Kansas east-northeastward through east & southeastern Nebraska across Iowa into Wisconsin & northern Illinois.

This same threat will shift about 100 miles southward on Sunday night.

K.C. MetroRegion WEATHER: Flash-Flood Risk Late Sunday - Early Monday



The National Weather Service (NWS) is concerned about possible repeating thunderstorms over our area beginning late Sunday and continuing through Monday morning.

The storms could be severe as well.

Some parts of the K.C. Metro- in south-central Johnson County-KS for instance- have already had more than one-half foot of rain since June 1.

Here's the "Hazardous Weather Outlook" text the NWS-Pleasant Hill office broadcast on the public-safety M.E.R.S. channel (154.13) just minutes ago...


"THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL EXIST SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS A COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTH INTO THE OUTLOOK AREA.

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS...PARTICULARLY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY IN THE EVENING ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR.

THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL SOMEWHERE ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH REPEATED ROUNDS OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.

COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE WILL LIKELY BE AVAILABLE...AND LIFT ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PROVIDE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR THE ACCUMULATION OF SEVERAL INCHES OF RAINFALL IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME...SUCH THAT SERIOUS FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE WHEREVER THE HEAVIEST BANDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ALIGN. (Italics mine - GKM)

AT THIS TIME...THE MOST LIKELY AREAS THAT COULD RECEIVE EXCESSIVE FLOODING RAINFALL WOULD BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM LEAVENWORTH TO KIRKSVILLE.

IN ADDITION TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING...ANY WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL WOULD ONLY EXACERBATE THE ONGOING RIVER FLOODING PROBLEMS ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA THROUGH THE MIDWEEK PERIOD

KANSAS CITY MetroRegion BREAKING NEWS: 2 Dead In Lawrence-KS

That victim was reported dead by Lawrence-EMS about 10 minutes later- then police find a 2nd victim inside the house at the incident's address. EMS also reports that person to be deceased.

Both victims are reported to be white males.

Lawrence police wouldn't comment yet on the two deaths- nor whether this was a murder-suicide.

KANSAS CITY WEATHER: Sorry For All The Hype



Every meteorologist in town blows his or her own horn when they get things right- and though I'm not a DEGREED meteorologist (been "into" the field for nearly 50 years)- I'm going to acknowledge going a bit over the deep end yesterday.


The Captain wishes to be the FIRST to apologize for getting everyone fearful of The Severe Weather Event to End All Severe Weather Events that never developed in our area.

The K.C. Metro and MOST of the MetroRegion ended up just having robust late-spring thundershowers.

Remember though- while I'm first to apologize for the hype- I was also FIRST to release the pressure valve with THIS post- saying the storms won't be as bad HERE as forecasted (that at around 8:30pm Thursday night).

So while I may jump out and SCARE you- I'll also pat you on the head & comfort you before the "other" weather people in this town.

Oh- those elephants in Ellisworth-KS were captured- without incident or injury- after getting tired of walking around Ellisworth for a couple of hours.

Peace and enjoy the forecasted great weather (finally-OOPS! except maybe for late Sunday or SUnday night storms) this weekend!

WEATHER RADAR - WARNINGS - 2042CDT


SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE: Bad - But Not As



Even though strong and likely severe thundertorms will move across Metro Kansas City after 10pm- I don't anticipate this storm line to be AS severe as the event on May 1-2.


I still expect wind gusts to around 60 m.p.h.- mostly small hail if any and very heavy rainfalls as the line passes a given location.

Yet that's not as bad as May 2's 80 m.p.h. winds and 2 tornadoes in the early morning hours.

The greatest tornado threat now appears to be where they are occurring- in extreme southeastern Nebraska- northwest & northern Missouri and toward southwestern & south-central Iowa.

More as the situation unfolds...

As Captain Spaulding- the fearless African explorer- I volunteer to corral these beasts.

I may have trouble removing their tusks however and may be forced to transport them to Alabama where the Tuscaloosa.

SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE: High Storm Risk Area Shifted Westward

Hopefully this is better news for Metro K.C. residents.

The latest storm forecast from the NWS' Storm Prediction Center (SPC) shows their guess for the best chances of severe storms- the "high risk" area- now DOES NOT include Metro Kansas City.

Metro K.C. still remains in a "moderate risk" area.

The high risk area DOES include the area generally along and west of a St. Joseph-MO- Topeka to Wichita-KS line.

Storms are forming now well to the west & southwest of the MetroRegion- west-central to southwest-central Kansas- and storms should continue to fire-up in these areas and move rapidly north-northeast.

It still appears that the best chance for storms in the Metro area should be after about 7pm tonight- possibly after sunset.

More here as received....

K.C. METRO WEATHER ADVISORY: "HIGH RISK" OF SEVERE STORMS TODAY



The situation has deteorated further from my earlier-today post of a large "moderate risk" area of severe storms today --- if you refer to the image (click on for full size) - most of Metro K.C. as well as all areas from southwest to north MetroRegion are now in a "HIGH RISK" of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes later today and tonight.


Meteorologists are and have been saying "severe weather outbreak" today- and some have gone out on a limb to even compare today's weather setup to that of April 3-4- 1974- America's last "Super" tornado outbreak that killed hundreds of people in nearly a half-dozen states.

Regardless- I expect things to start going crazy after noon. Some storms already formed this morning southwest to northwest of Topeka. Those are moving into southeastern Nebraska and are not yet severe.

PLEASE review your own storm protection plans NOW- and be ready.

More here as it breaks- before we head off to video & photograph (local-area spotting- I'm no gas-fool!).

KANSAS CITY Metro-MetroRegion WEATHER: "Moderate Risk" Of Severe Thunderstorms With A Tornado Today-Tonight



The day meteorologists have been watching for the past week has arrived- the day with a good chance of a severe weather outbreak.



Thursday begins with a moderate risk area that covers a swath from Minnesota on the north to Kansas and northwestern Missouri on the south- including the the K.C. Metro generally along and west of I-35.

THERE IS A (MODERATE) RISK OF (SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS) TO THE RIGHT OF A LINE FROM 45 NNE RSL- 20 S LBF- 35 NE MHN- 20 SE ABR- 25 SSE DTL- 40 ENE BRD- 40 N EAU- 10 SW LSE- 30 E ALO- 30 NNE OTM- 30 N CDJ- 15 NE MKC- 40 N CNU- 10 NE ICT- 30 WNW HUT- 45 NNE RSL.

The biggest caveat for a large storm outbreak is a strong capping inversion above us- preventing daytime storm development. It may well be around & after sunset before storms develop/threaten the Kansas City Metro.

Nonetheless- prepare for storms of equal if not greater intensity than those that struck Metro-wide back on May 1-2- that produced hurricane-force winds and 2 tornadoes in the Metro.

BREAKING NEWS: Flooding Continues In Cass County-MO



Although less frequent now- there were at least a half-dozen reports of either people trapped in their cars or homes by high water throughout the northern half of Cass County.

High water closed southbound U.S. 71 south of Belton-Raymore. It's unknown whether the water has gone down- but storms have been out of this area for nearly an hour now.

Y highway was closed and remains so south of 187th Street. Ward Road was closed at Alexander Creek with water over the bridge that trapped a vehicle. The occupants escaped without injury.

J highway was closed- with propane tanks broken loose. Those have been corraled and shut down.

A victim drove into the flooding Big Blue River at 159th St. & Mission Road just before 2am- but got out of the vehicle safely.

Lightning caused house fires in Lee's Summit- Pleasant Hill and one going right now in Raymore in the 600 block of Loren Lane. No injuries have been reported.

This radar-indicated precipitation amounts map shows areas of 4 to 4.5-inch rains in northwest and north Cass County as well as extreme southern & southeastern Jackson County MO..

There are more strong storms in central & north-central Kansas that could possibly move into the Metro area by dawn.

Metro Kansas City Gets Its Wild Weather Day



Several reports of funnel clouds- Incredibly strong cloud to ground lightning (causing a large oil storage tank to burn in KC-KS)- some mostly small hail and torrential rains raged through the Kansas City Metro early Tuesday evening.


It's not over yet either.

Strong storms with more torrential- possibly flash flooding rains are moving over the southern Metro counties right now- with more storms off & on through sunrise Wednesday.

I'm uploading storm and the KC-KS tank fire video to You Tube right now.

More on this continued stormy weather within the hour.

KANSAS CITY MetroRegion - Metro BREAKING WEATHER: NWS-SPC: Tornado Watch No. 437 In Effect Until 11pm



The Kansas City Metro- and Kansas MetroRegion counties of Doniphan- Atchison- Leavenworth- Wyandotte- Johnson and Miami- as well as all counties eastward into Missouri- are under TW No. 437 till 11pm tonight.


Thus far- no storms have formed- and this probably won't happen for at least another hour or so.

However when these storms finally do blow- they'll likely become severe fairly rapidly after initial formation.

Ms. Rittenhouse and the Captain will be out locally for video & still photos if anything breaks- till then updates here & on NBC-41 at 5 & 6pm.

KANSAS CITY MetroRegion WEATHER: NWS-SPC- Slight To Moderate Risk Of Severe Storms Today- Tonight



Although most of us in the immediate K.C. Metro counties have avoided the severe storms the past few days- today there's a "moderate risk" of severe storms in a band from about the K.C. Metro eastward generally along and either side of I-70.



In addition- the flooding threat is rather high for those areas experiencing heavy storms the past few days- especially the west & southwestern Kansas MetroRegion counties- Douglas- Franklin- Miami & Linn- but also Cass & Bates counties in Missouri.

Strong thunderstorms have been and will again produce rain amounts of 1.5 to 2-inches per hour- producing flash flooding.

I'll be on top of the weather situation here today- so check back for updates.

_________

UPDATE - 1200CDT - The latest SPC Day-1 storm outlook has moved the moderate risk further westward into the K.C. Metro.

Best chance for storms to start firing up will be around and after 4pm this afternoon.

Please stay informed- I'm getting my "hinky" feeling about either this afternoon or later this week.
