Update!

Oak, bloggers here we go! ;) After looking through the latest data this big mess of a system is a BIG heavy storm maker! But the good news for us is we have been pretty stable in our area for the last few hours. Our current lifted index is at +1.0 which is ok. So right now as the storms are moving into our area they are starting to weaken a bit. Not major weakening or anything! But enough. Now we have very high CAPE values and EHI values to our south! This is where they will have some tornado outbreaks. And this is where the National weather service has already put tornado watches into effect. Now yes, we will still continue to watch this system closely just in case something is to change and become a bigger threat! Otherwise here's what we have to watch out for this evening.

Heavy rain at times in storms.

Few gusty winds in storms.

Lightning as always with any storm.

Tornadoes are at around a 5% chance and higher the more south you go. Pretty much from Indianapolis south!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So scattered to moderate storms this evening. I will not totally rule out a stray strong storm or two as we are under a slight risk for severe! However this is how things look at this time.

I will continue to watch and if anything changes I will be back to let you know!

Stay Tuned.....
