Developing Update On The Developing Line!

Hey bloggers. well, as you already know we do have a tornado watch in effect for almost the whole WLFI viewing area from now until 10:00pm CDT tonight. The only counties currently not in this watch are Benton, Newton, and Jasper. However for now after going through the current data our tornado threat is around a 2% chance which is not to bad. However it is still a chance so we will as always be watching things carefully this evening!

As you can see in this radar image below we are watching this line start to develop to our west. Rain will start to fall at anytime now! The good news for now is none of this line is severe that is about to move through our area. However this will soon change as the more east it moves the stronger it will get. This is why I'm thinking eastern Indiana will be in for a ruff night tonight. We currently stand in the developing stage of this line. Which could work out in our favor! But we still have more rain to the west of this line moving through now so we will continue to keep watch on that as well. So for now here are our storm threats below.
Radar Image Taken At 4:22pm...

Storm Threats.....

Tornadoes... currently around a 2% chance with a 10% chance the more east you go outside of the WLFI viewing area.

Hail... Around a 15% chance or less and again high around a 30% chance the more east you go outside of the WLFI viewing area.

Wind... Around a 15% chance or less with a high chance of 45% the more east you go outside of the WLFI viewing area.

We are in a Slight risk for severe. Our current storm chance is around a 20% to 40% chance. Moderate risk sets up again more to the North Eastern parts of Indiana.
