I-70 posters cashed in and continue to do so. Curious to see what Mike, Doug, Bo, JP, Eric, etc received.

Well my lucky streak in July has went by the wayside. A whopping 0.07 at my house. Another chance this afternoon but is the timing going to work out or will folks southeast of here get in on the goods.

A few scattered cells S of Bloomington, IN. Hope to see more coverage pop in that area before we get too late into the day. Otherwise as Tim said, it's an Eastern counties game today. Bgoney... sure hope you can cash in this afternoon!!!

3 tenths in the three different gauges. It was heavier just off to my N/W judging by radar earlier. Waiting on the pavement to start to dry up a little at the moment.

Looks like the cold front is in northwest Indiana. Low pressure well to the north with bands of rain. Problem is low pressure heading northeast so the bands of rain will head in that direction. Then when will the cold front arrive and can we get enough pop in the atmosphere to produce some showers and thundershowers.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Went to the final day of the state fair with the grandkids. Good day!

My overnight gift was .38 inches of rain. I’ll take it!

Good blow came through around 3am
Leaves scattered around the yard.
.2 rain.

0.80 here so far

Thank you all for the reports. Keep 'em coming! Portions of the S Apps into the Mid Atlantic states are going to be upgraded to a moderate risk due to damaging winds in excess of 70 knots per the SPC discussion. The best dynamics continue to be S and SE of our local area. 40-50 knot bulk shear over Central and SKY is going to boost these storms to our East later this afternoon. For us... scattered action until the front passes is all I am seeing which flat out stinks!

Just had a couple of light downpours move thru. It didn't last long enough to add any to my total.

Lawrenceburg, IN into the West side of Cincy is getting a nice cell. I can hear the thunder from it to my NW. Looks like it'll skirt just north of CVG.

Just checked my rain guage, 0.25 so far. Light sprinkles currently.

Just had a quick downpour in Mason. Big fat cell about to curl into the metro!

Managed to get two decent down pours out of that cell that moved through Cheviot/Westwood. I'm happy, but want more!

* Effective this Monday morning and evening from 1055 AM until
600 PM EDT.

* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes possible
Widespread damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
Isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible

SUMMARY...A very favorable scenario for intense supercell storms
exists today, and severe storms are expected to develop and increase
by midday/early afternoon across the region. A few tornadoes will be
possible, along with hail and potentially widespread damaging winds,
particularly later this afternoon as storms approach the
Appalachians.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 100 statute miles
east and west of a line from 50 miles north northeast of Parkersburg

the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS

Definitely a nasty looking cell near Blanchester. Keep your eyes open folks if you are SE of I-71. For the rest of us, scattered showers will rotate in on the back side and that'll be it.
