Low pressure off to the west and the wind is completely turning around Chicago. Chicago is under one hell of a gun tonight folks, basically anywhere from there to Toledo is in the danger zone

Btw instability is through the roof here despite filtered sunshine throughout the day, as are dewpoints. Anywhere in NW Ohio has a shot for supercells and tornadoes around 5-8 as the Hi-Res Models are showing storms firing along the warm front and exploding, the shear aloft is incredible. Then the big derecho will roll through tonight, and many forecasters believe we could have 100+ MPH winds easily in this thing. Can't believe we are under a high risk though, that's a big deal man

Not out of the realm of possibility, but 65-85 makes more sense.
