Les sometimes we lose a little on one threat of severe but gain on another. That could very well be the case here with the tornado threat lower but heavy rain higher. Still need to watch the sky and especially the radar in southwest Indiana and western Ky this afternoon as that is where an increase ...

I agree we should not let our guard down but I do agree it does seem to lessen the tornado threat and maybe could lead to a more heavy rain and some hail threat. The front itself may just bring the straight line winds. Even though we know the atmosphere is loaded with moisture the one item that we d...

I am very surprised how quickly the new storms are forming west of here. I thought it would take several hours and was looking at 3pm or later but that went out the door. Not sure if this is good or bad news as the quicker return may help in getting the storms to be strong but maybe keep down the to...

The sun is coming out and my guess the temp and dew point will jump over the next few hours

Looks like the back edge of the rain this morning is near Bloomington,In and moving quickly. So by 10am I expect much of the local area should be rain free. Then we wait as a surge of warm air heads north and we become quite unstable this afternoon and evening. Nice thundershower at the moment will ...

Over the next few hours will start to look for some clearing in western Kentucky and western Indiana. No doubt the morning activity took some of the punch out but with the low itself well to the west we have plenty of time to recover. Trying to look at data with the models plus how the current syste...

Not much talk on the extended and no doubt severe weather the concern today. Next week could also be busy and maybe not quite the severe outbreak but more rain chances. As we head deeper into April rain chances further south towards the gulf states start to wane as summer begins creeping in down the...

Cell in southern Boone country heading my way as I hear a little thunder off in the distance. Could be a brief period of heavy rain

Les I believe we are on the same page as the NWS. The rapid clearing behind this mornings activity is key and something we believed would happen. Like any system there is ups and downs on strength. Though the southern and central plains got hit some yesterday it was not a big outbreak for them and o...

Couple of tornado warnings near Louisville Makes sense with this line of storms moving through and you can see on the radar those isolated stronger cells in the line and usually but not always the southern end of a line has a better shot of short lived tornado's. Later today we may have a bigger ou...

I agree Les we have plenty of time to recover. Nice shower with a few rumbles of thunder.

Rain has started once again

Of course with the severe weather going on my son is expecting another 4-6 inches of snow as the late season snow parade continues up there

Good Morning and no doubt a busy day in the weather world. Do we get severe weather and signs with the models and current conditions say there is a really good chance. This morning some tornado warnings near Evansville. Have not seen any rain since the outburst late in the afternoon but expect a nic...

Doug Happy Birthday young man. Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Les had pea size hail as well for a short period but no doubt a 20 minutes of heavy rain and some nice lightning and thunder.

Flash flooding risk increasing for tonight. I had one cell move thru here and another developed and may move in shortly. Could be some training starting up if this continues. I am just a tad to far south Les. Can see the darker clouds just to my north. Training is one way to get the higher totals b...

Looks like a storm pop up in western Boone County and we will see how that develops. I can tell you here in Independence that clouds are lowering fast.

The storm I mentioned near Bloomington as gone severe with quarter size hail and 60 mph gusts. This is the first of many over the next 30 hours or so.

Storms already near Bloomington,In and heading dead east. You can see the quick build of clouds locally

Starting to those pesky singular cells forming over Illinois and with the increase in moisture this will end up being a bigger complex later this afternoon and evening. So far everything is falling into place

The one thing afternoon models have done is push the heaviest rainfall amounts further to the northwest. This makes sense because the low is predicted to go further north and west. So still going 1-2 locally and some areas can get into the 2-3 if everything times out perfect and sure a few isolated ...

No doubt you can feel the difference outside since this morning. Getting muggier out there but the temps are not bad so it feels quite nice at the moment

I see they extended the flood watch from central Illinois to central Indiana. I know while we are in Brown County Indiana next weekend the guys are playing Salt Creek for a round of golf. That course floods very easily and hopefully by next Sunday the course will be playable. If that does not happen...

Hey Les and I have seen some soundings of Cape to 2000 west of here. That is big time and like you mentioned just getting to 1000 or so will cause problems
