( #NWSSPC): The DAMAGING WIND SWATH from Wednesday, June 10 has been PRELIMINARILY CONFIRMED as a #DERECHO.
The WIND SWATH had a TRACK LENGTH OVER 400 MILES with a footprint just under 100,000 SQUARE MILES. The strongest known gust was measured at over 94 MPH. #wx #wxsky
This is probably tied for top chase of all time with 4/26/2024. And supremely local in areas I grew up in. Really hoping impacts were minimal.
Lots of damage around Champaign-Urbana from this evening's storms
Had we chased Illinois today, we would have ended up on the wrong storm 100 miles too far west. Had a rewarding chase instead
Had a great lunch at Braum's! Continuing west to Boise City, OK!
