Before I get to today...let me wrap up last night's storms.
The lightning was incredible...I watched for a half hour as the lightning would flash several times and then the bolt would crawl across the sky.
For a full report on the damage, as well as wind/hail reports: Click here.
There was damage, especially in the northern counties, like I said. Trees were down all over Seymour and all of Jackson county. Another hard hit area was further south over Harrison county, with golf ball sized hail and trees down. A tornado warning was issued for Crawford county, and a wall cloud was spotted. However, no tornado touched down.
Now, for today, I am really in severe weather mode...I will be updating thoughout the day.
There is a severe storm watch over central Indiana, but those storms are weakening. The key with this is that it will leave a miniature cold front over our area, which will fire storms. These storms have a good potential of being severe.
Threat of hail: 15%
Threat of wind: 30%
As I said, a 30% has been issued for the threat of damaging winds...so look out for that this afternoon.
Most of the ingredients for severe are there...it will be very hot (in the 90's) and dewpoints will be in the 70-75 degree range. This will bring heat indices to over 100 degrees in some spots.
There are not the strongest midlevel winds ever, but the risk for severe is still enhanced today.
There is also a 2% chance of tornadoes, so an isolated tornado or two is also possible over the area.
I will post as needed...
