Independence Day 2009: 12:45pm

Rain about to begin in our parts of the area...
From the NWS: UPDATED TO DOWNSCALE THUNDERSTORM CHCS (MAINLY NORTH) CHANGED WORDING TO ISOLATED AS WEAKENING MCS MAKES SLOW EWD PROGRESS WITH LEADING EDGE TENDING TO DISSIPATE AS IT ENCOUNTERS DRIER AIR.

However, the storm that they are talking about extends from Corydon to St. Louis right now. However, if it does weaken, we will only see light showers here. From now until about 6pm, however, expect a fairly good threat of light to at times moderate showers. After 6pm, the storms will become more scattered for a while.

The question with the evening is whether storms can develop here. There will likely be severe storms going on in southern Kentucky SOUTH of the warm front, but with no sun and a rain soaked atmosphere, it is questionable whether we will see more widespread showers in the evening. I think there is still a chance of showers, but the threat may be going down. Stay tuned...
