STORM ALERT: 5/8/09: 9:45am

Derecho ongoing this morning across Missouri...

This line of storms is producing 80mph winds and higher in southern Missouri right now. These storms are moving east, and occasionally more northeast across the state. These storms will move into Kentucky this afternoon, and possible into southern Indiana as well. The SPC has a slight risk of severe weather for us, that being a 15% chance of damaging winds and large hail and a 2% chance of a tornado, with higher %'s west of us. I think that we should have higher %'s in the region right now, with sun coming out and dewpoints in the lower 60s. This heating will inhibit storms this afternoon. The only question will be how far north these storms come. I do not see them making it north of Paoli or Salem. Stay tuned...
