STORM ALERT: 5/30/09: 10am


5% chance of tornadoes around the area this afternoon...

15% chance of damaging winds >58mph, and large hail >1" in diameter...


Storms have begun to develop across Illinois and Missouri, and is moving east and southeast. Eventually, these storms will run into our area and strengthen. From the SPC: STORMS COULD BECOME ORGANIZED INTO SMALL...FORWARD- PROPAGATING MULTICELLULAR CLUSTERS/BANDS...PERHAPS WITH SPORADIC/EMBEDDED SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE TRUE NEAR THE OH RVR IN SRN IND/NRN-CNTRL KY...WHERE LOW TO MID LVL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR SHOULD BE GREATEST. STORMS COULD YIELD SVR HAIL/WIND AND POSSIBLY A BRIEF TORNADO OR TWO.

Definitely something to keep an eye on for this afternoon. I think that the storms will probably bring a couple tornado warnings to our area this afternoon, especially over southern Indiana, before the system turns into a linear based line bringing damaging winds to the eastern part of the area...
