THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE INDICATES CONCERNS, there is no 'rotation' to the 'feeder system' of the supercell. There is simply chronic bad weather. We have seen this before with the flooding of the Northeast when so many small dams were of concern.

THE INTENSITY OF THE CENTER of the Chicago Supercell is a bit blunted as the hot air from the equator is cooled when it finds land. It is the arctic coolness this supercell is feeding off bringing hot air from the equator to the region for heat transfer/conversion. The instability of the entire system cannot be understated. When these systems 'explode' it is severe and short in duration and as seen recently in tornadoes in Texas, fatal in nature. Doppler radar should prove valuable.

Be careful and good luck.
