Northern IN/NE IL/SW MI, please keep aware of the weather this evening! It looks like the biggest threat is wind, but the NWS isn't ruling out hail or tornadoes. #ILwx #INwx #MIwx #WXsky #WeatherSky #SevereWeather

SUMMARY...Severe Thunderstorm Watch will likely be issued soon for portions of northeast Illinois, northern Indiana, and southwest Lower Michigan.

DISCUSSION...Leading edge of strongly forced squall line is advancing steadily east across western/northern IL. While low-level moisture is somewhat lacking downstream, with upper 40s/lower 50s surface dew points, cooling/moistening midlevel profiles favor weak destabilization over the next few hours. Strong shear supports damaging winds, and perhaps a brief tornado, with this forced line of convection and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch appears warranted.

Areas affected...Portions of far northeastern Illinois into NORTHERN
Indiana

Concerning...Tornado Watch <a href="/products/watch/2026/ww0032.html">32</a>...

Valid 102327Z - 110030Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 32 continues.

SUMMARY...An intense supercell over eastern Kankakee county IL is
likely to persist along the warm front with a risk for very large
hail and strong tornadoes this evening. A downstream tornado watch
will also need to be issued into northern IN.

DISCUSSION...An intense supercell over portions of eastern Kankakee
county IL has shown signs of rapid organization over the last 30
minutes. Several recent reports of very large have been noted along
with an intensifying low-level mesocyclone from radar imagery. The
environment along the warm front from eastern IL into northern IN
remains very favorable for intense supercells with moderate
instability and ESRH 300-400 m2/s2. This is yielding effective STP
values of 4-5.

Given the isolated nature of the supercell, strongly backed
low-level flow/shear, tornadoes (strong to intense) along with very
large hail appear likely over the next hour or two. This should
continue into northern IN, with the potential for additional storms
to develop over the next couple of hours. Given the proximity to the
eastern edge of Tornado Watch 32, a downstream watch over portions
of IN will likely be needed in the next couple of hours.

Mesoscale Discussion about the upcoming weather #INwx #ILwx #MIwx #WXSky #WeatherSky #SevereWeather

SPC Mesoscale Discussion 0191 for Eastern Iowa, Northern Illinois, and Southwestern Lower Michigan. Probability of a new weather watch is 95%. Summary indicates scattered elevated supercells and bowing segments are likely north of an east-west warm front this evening. Threats include significant hail (2.00–3.50 inches), damaging wind gusts (65–80 mph), and a tornado risk with potential intensity of 85–115 mph. Strong destabilization (MLCAPE 2000-3000 J/kg) and deep-layer shear are supporting organized severe storms as they move across the boundary.

Updated outlook: a slightly narrower corridor inside the earlier area has been escalated to "Moderate". Please keep aware of the weather throughout the evening!!!

Updated SPC Categorical Outlook for March 10, 2026. A "Moderate Risk" (Level 4 of 5) shaded in red has been issued for a broad area including Northern Illinois and Northern Indiana. This is surrounded by an Enhanced Risk (orange) stretching from Missouri to Southern Michigan. A second Enhanced Risk remains over West Texas.

Updated SPC Tornado Outlook for March 10, 2026. A high-risk 15% hatched area (indicating a significant risk for EF2+ tornadoes) is now centered over Northern Illinois and Northern Indiana. A broader 10% hatched area surrounds it, stretching from the Mississippi River Valley into the Great Lakes region.

🚨 ATTN Northern IN/IL Bskiers 🚨 Please keep an eye on the weather this evening! We are in the bullseye, including a hatched risk for significant tornadoes. Make sure you have ways to receive weather alerts, and have an emergency plan for your family! #INwx #ILwx #WXSky #WeatherSky #SevereWeather

SPC Categorical Outlook map for March 10, 2026. It shows an "Enhanced Risk" (Level 3 of 5) shaded in orange covering a broad area from Northern Missouri through Northern Illinois and into Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan. A second Enhanced Risk area is shown in West Texas. Surrounding these are "Slight" and "Marginal" risk zones covering much of the Midwest and Southern Plains.

Map of the United States from the Storm Prediction Center showing tornado probabilities for March 10, 2026. A large corridor of risk stretches from Texas up through the Great Lakes. A significant 10% hatched area (indicating an increased risk for EF2+ tornadoes) covers Northern Illinois, Northern Indiana, and Southwest Michigan.

It's become a tradition each year for me to give my wife new stickers for Christmas. Found this one this year and it made me think of my good Bsky friends @ominousrabbit.com and @0x0.boo

Does anybody else get "How do you do, fellow kids?" vibes from Kash Patel?

Luna loves clothes and enjoys the attention she gets from all the kids. She absolutely frolicked in the 2023 Halloween blizzard that hit our area as the trusty steed for the headless pupman.

This is apparently from January, but it's even more even relevant now. Thanks, Quora.

I'm a SENIOR. This country is going broke. How is it with you liberals that you cannot see this?
Let me throw a little scenario at you.

You and your spouse are sitting at the kitchen table one fine evening going through the bills. You notice that there hasn’t been enough money in the budget to pay the bills and buy all the necessities your family needs. You have two ways to solve the problem.

The first way is to figure out how to get more money coming in. Whether this is asking for a raise, changing employers or getting a second job is up to you.

The second way is to cut your hours back so your paychecks are smaller.

If you’re thinking to yourself, “the second way would just make the problem worse!” then you are exactly right…but that’s what happens when the only thing the GOP wants to do is cut taxes.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of our budgetary problem is tax cuts.

Consider: When I was a kid the United States was building interstate freeways and sending people to the Moon. Neither one is even close to being cheap. But we didn’t have massive deficits then - because we had sufficient tax revenue coming in to pay for them.

Reinstate Nixon’s tax rates, don’t go into this huge “we have to spend all this extra money!” shit we did after President Clinton balanced the budget, and this country won’t be going broke.
