Discussion... Regional radar indicates strong to severe thunderstorms have formed in East Montana. As expected, these storms are congealing into a squall line, which will continue to strengthen as it scrapes South Dakota and barrels into North Dakota.
There is potential for this squall line to possess derecho-like features, and that is the main concern- damaging winds.

TODAY.July 22 Chicago Storms Q & A
A: PWAT (Precipitable Water) in the air was very high. For example: when you hear a weatherperson on TV say 'There's 1 inch of water in the air', that means that if all the air were compressed in a column space, there would be one inch of water in that column. Today's storms had upwards of 1.5 inches, producing very heavy rain.
Q: Was this a derecho, like earlier this month?
A: No. Derechos are high-wind events that stick around for at least a few minutes and produce damage. Today, there were only a few reports of 50-60 mph wind reports at max.
Q: I saw a cloud that looked like a bowl upside down. What was that?
A:
Chicago Storms 7/22/11
This is an excellent image taken by one of our viewers as the storms in Chicago rolled in.
Forecast Discussion- North Illinois (July 22- 8:13 AM)
The last time we had a system like this was the big derecho. I doubt that will happen again, but judging by the strength of the red line, I wouldn't be surprised to find a few branches down and some small hail as VIL's are low.
The strong storms are barreling through an area of elevated CINH, which could stop the storm's strength. However, analyzing recent loops of radar reflectivity has led me to believe these storms have maintained their strength while moving through the CINH (warm air layer that suppresses storms), and should stay at an elevated strength for a while.
