@optimus1480 @TylerSebreezy These are 500 millibar isobars, or lines of equal pressure measured against historical heights during this timeframe. Essentially, record 500 mb heights will mean a strong heat dome will remain in place.

@MightyNooblet @RangerApologist @JomboyMedia Which is fair territory.

[Scott Weberpal @SWeberpal]

@darktriadtc @ABC Most likely no one. Either a GoPro or phone mounted on the boat.

[Scott Weberpal @SWeberpal]

@topsouthafrican @ABC There's not a cameraman...

@StormWizWx @PappenheimWx @skydrama Imagine thinking the king of Illinois grinders in 2026 is jealous of this bird fart.

@jaypo1961 Same folks that will drive around a dept store parking lot until they find a spot they can pull all the way through because they lack the basic driving skill of backing out of a parking stall?

@Shroglodyte @AdamGhetti @flatsmackin You're right, it's not. This is actually more difficult to do than the landing in the OP video.

@NWSMilwaukee a few dimes mixed in with mostly smaller hail 3.6 NE Janesville at about 6:46 PM.

@TTimms32 @007Catalyst @ElijahSchaffer Mola Ram was a crazy dude!

@EmmaWalkerWx A day I'm not disappointed missing. Rain-wrapoed in an urban area with relatively fast storm motions; yuck.

@NWSMilwaukee distinct funnel cloud on Futon storm for about 5 minutes #wiwx

[Scott Weberpal @SWeberpal]

@JaydonShawwx HRRR was showing 60+ dews and 150+ 0-3km CAPE near the surface low even at the 00z run the night before. This storm made perfect sense.

[Scott Weberpal @SWeberpal]

@simpledrums @keselowski In no way, shape, or form did he do that.

[Scott Weberpal @SWeberpal]

@Ag0nyScene @sentdefender There's nothing fake about it.

[Scott Weberpal @SWeberpal]

@ReedTimmerUSA @BradArnoldWX Great intercept! Was an awesome day to be playing leapfrog with Dominator 3.

Haven't posted my Rockton, IL tornado yet as there is plenty of other great content out there. After being close to but unable to see the Lena tornado through the rain, a high-contrast tube made things significantly less white knuckle. #ilwx

@CPalermo_Storms @EmmaWalkerWx @SavannaBritoWX @NWSMilwaukee They have; EF1.

[Scott Weberpal @SWeberpal]

@CPalermo_Storms @EmmaWalkerWx @SavannaBritoWX @NWSMilwaukee There's a fairly decent track of EF0 damage down Maple Lane east of County J and some along County J. Lots of tree damage and some outbuilding damage. It was a fairly broad tornadic circulation with occasional condensed vortices rotating around it.
