Absolute Vorticity

Radar looking very active across MO and ILL and that should track towards IND and Dayton areas. It'll be close for the River but most of it should stay north of us. We'll see though, you never know.

Yeah dome definitely took this week off for vaca in my hood! Just had another downpour and up to 0.61".

HRRR going bonkers with QPF up here this afternoon into tonight. Basically right along the I-70 corridor. I can see why the Flash Flood Watch was issued!

Only a tenth of an inch overnight here. Last time we were under FFW it stayed n/w of us. Let's see if the curse continues.

Hey JP, I'm kind of hoping it does. Coming over to camp at Alum Creek this weekend. Maybe I can bring my dome and cover the campground.

82 and humid here. Partly sunny skies. Lot of action in IN so we'll see how the afternoon progresses.

Scattered action building in KY as well.

Update from the boys...

Flash flood watch extension...
Given current radar trends and the threat for additional
thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, have expanded the
flash flood watch south to include the tri-state/cincy and
surrounding areas along I-71. While it is July, this region has
picked up above normal rainfall over the last week with
additional rain occurring this over the last couple of hours.
Rain will continue into the overnight hours with the flash
flood threat continuing into the day on Saturday.

I think a lot of that line is going to miss me to the NW but the next batch down by Carrollton has my eye on it.

Myself and CVG reporting thunder at this time...

Thunder here too - models seemed too far north with the QPF (at least with this first batch).

I agree Mike... I'm actually expecting my dome to burst in the next 30-45 mins. This could get interesting from a heavy rain perspective. Lot of those cells might be trying to converge on the Metro. Glad to see the boys reacting in a timely manner.

Big thunder now.. darkening skies. Always a good sign when the cat runs and hides under a bed because of the noise.

Decent lightning too... wind is picking up.

If I remember correctly, the high res NAM was all over this first round. Someone can double check for me though if they wish haha.

Hearing A LOT of thunder now - sky looking very dark!

Just checked our weather station and it showed a rain rate of 5.65 inches an hour. Wowsers, is it raining hard here!

Rain has begun now... Heavy in fact...
