Absolute Vorticity

From Sioux Falls and the beginning of overnight MCS. You know it's a wind maker when you see green skies

That crane boom in the far left side of the top pic i.e.

Pretty crazy skies right there.

Storms have now fired up in Northern Indiana nearing N/W Ohio.

Are we going to get a derecho here? I'm trying to figure out if I'm sleeping tonight or not.

Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80 mph likely

Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible

I just read that a couple of minutes ago. That is going to be some strong winds.

And the White Sox are in town to host the Twins this evening i.e.

They were able to get the game in and the Twins won 8-2.

Wow, what a wonderful soaker for central and SE ohio, hope we a get a turn before a dry weekend

We could use it down here in CVG Land too. I-70 Crew has been cleaning house... a little too much in some places.

A colorful weather map this morning with flood watches up for Central and Eastern Ohio, a heat advisory for those of us who need rain in the SW CWA including Metro Cincy, followed by a heat warning for LOU's region. We should be on the edge again today with the hot air down here and big rains again probably for I-70 Crew. Hope to see that sink further south. We have high chances thru Friday before tapering off Sat. Dry and gorgeous on Sunday into Monday before we do it again.

Rain total so far 4.70 inches. Basement flooded. 3.50 of that after midnight until about 5am in Grandview outside of downtown Columbus.

Sorry to hear about your basement, JP. Wow... on that rainfall total!

Well we got the tail end of the first line yesterday 0.18” and nothing since. The dome lives on! Lol. Actually drove down to west Chester yesterday to see a storm.

I was able to squeeze out an addition 0.1" yesterday morning giving me a daily total of 0.4". Hoping to be in the game today.

.30" in my gauge so far from today. Combo of 1.30" since Tues.

Currently 72 with a DP of 72 here in G'ville.

Prayerfully cheerleader Ma Nature will bring more love to the southern Miami Valley and Tri-state regions!

The next boundary looks to be dropping SE thru IN, so let's see if it can fire up some storms later today. Sun is coming out here so it is going to turn hot and nasty in a hurry.

Getting a ground wetter right now. Won't last long though.

Cvgland finally has some decent shear to work with , let's hope we can continue to destabilize.

CAPE is almost 4000 J/KG here with 4500 just to my west, Right on the edge of a nice instability gradient. CVG Land should be in a nice spot for this afternoon IMO.

DCAPE values are getting up there, 1300 imby and a derecho comp of 6. 8 over S IN with 1400-1500 DCAPE.

Storm motion today is more east than south, so hope that area of high volatility from Indy and points south can erupt
