Widespread severe weather is expected tomorrow from the Great Lakes region into the middle Mississippi Valley as a potent upper level trough digs into the northern Plains; a trailing cold front will sweep across the southern Plains tomorrow evening, sparking additional severe thunderstorms in Kansas and Oklahoma. Moderate to strong instability will be in place across most of Oklahoma and a large part of Missouri and central Illinois, with CAPE >1,000 J/kg stretching all the way into southern Wisconsin. Combined with strong shear, this will set the stage for what may become a large-scale severe weather outbreak.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Day-2 Moderate Risk for portions of Illinois and Missouri, where strong tornadoes, very large hail and widespread damaging wind will be possible. This is a developing situation and those in the "hatched" area should monitor the conditions, as a dangerous weather situation may be unfolding this time tomorrow.

Major severe weather outbreak possible tomorrow!
May 13 2009 00:02:37 Will hopefully get to do some chasing here in eastern, Iowa/Western, Illinois. Don't have anymore vacation days until I get 2 weeks on the 17th, so I can't travel too far. Work 3rd shift at 11pm.

Re:Major severe weather outbreak possible tomorrow!
May 13 2009 13:37:10 I wonder how accurate the predictions will be. I live in the southern burbs of Chicago (South Holland...AKA the GHETTO) and I want to see some good storms. I would prefer to see tornadoes but I would like to see everyone safe. Maybe in a field..if im lucky.

Everyone.. Its great to subscribe to TVN updates.. The system works..
A good base initiation for this chase is a little SW of Springfield, MO.. I expect some strong ones out of the discrete cells starting to fire in that location.. The ingredients are looking INSANE !! Would really like to be chasing this one.. best to all who are... Cheers
That's where I am from. My friend and I will be chasing as well. it would be awesome if we had your # so we could follow an expert :)
We just had a humdinger of a few days of storms culminating in this in one city:

Luckily the storm centered itself and the impressive water spout about 3/4 of a mile off shore..otherwise a f2/f3 tornado would have cut through a heavily populated area.
Have a looksee above while you're waiting for those storms to fire ..
good luck out there
lol we'll probably see you out chasing in the Great Lakes when we chase, Ben! lol -Brandon
How often does the team of chasers perform maintenance on their cars/trucks? It would not be good to get stranded near a approaching tornado. I believe I would adopt the " Never Turn Off Motor " during a chase.
Just Curious,
Bill - Columbus, Ohio
AT 627 PM MDT...TRAINED WEATHER SPOTTERS REPORTED A TORNADO NEAR
HIGHWAY 97 CROSSING THE DISMAL RIVER...OR 15 MILES SOUTH OF
MULLEN...MOVING EAST AT 40 MPH
I've just done what I can to make sure my truck is well maintained. I keep the fluids changed out, and perform regular maintenance and spot checks. Not to say it won't eventually die on me in the field, but I've taken the most steps I can think of to ensure it does not.
Thanks for your input, Is this Ben?
If so, great job recently with your chase with David Drummond. You got some awesome video.
I have been so busy and need to get a hold of my mates there.. When I did my first chase in 2002.. I did all of my research at his home... I am sure not many people know of the suburb.. but I know where you are talking about.. Willow Creek. Whoa! my friends the Hybels.. Hopefuly this resonates... reply back mate !!! cheers all..
Tomorrow is going to be insane!
I will be in my new vacay/chase home in e Co next week.. If any of you want to connect? Hit up my profile on TVN community.. Lates.. ahhh!
