****Update As Of 4:17PM****

We are watching these cells start to pop to our west heading into Warren county, and south Benton county. There is a severe thunderstorm warning out for Northern Fountain county and Warren county. This cell is showing me some heavy heavy rainfall of 1" to 2" inches of rain an hour and pea sized hail. These cells are moving East at this time. Remember your lightning safety rules.....

Yes there is a severe thunderstorm warning out for Montgomery county at this time until 4:45pm EDT. This cell does have Doppler indicted pea sized hail possible and heavy rainfall. This cell is quickly moving off to the east.......... This cell is trying to weaken slowly..

We are also seeing a few of these storms start to pop as they enter the viewing area. This is the reason we said we would not rule out a few stray strong storms this evening. We have had a lot of daytime heating making us a lot more unstable. Lifted Index are around -6 to -7 as the evening goes on.

I will keep checking back as needed. Still the main rain will be closer this evening.

Main threats will be Small Hail, Lightning, And Heavy Downpours.

Hey Everybody. The NWS did put the whole WLFI viewing area under a severe thunderstorm watch until 10:00pm CDT tonight.

The latest weather models are in and it is looking like the worst may stay in the extreme northern parts of the viewing area tonight and to our west in west IL, and Northern MO, areas. Still we will look for the main thunderstorms closer to 7:00pm tonight. Most of us will look for rainfall between a tenth inch and a quarter inch possible with still locally higher amounts in thunderstorms. We will still keep in the chance for a stray strong storm or two however I think tonight we will mostly be looking to the west and the north. Still stay on guard.

I will keep you posted!! ;) We are not out of the woods yet!
