Cooler And Crisp Weather Is On The Way. How Cool? Read On To Find Out... Also Final Rainfall Totals...

Above is a look at last nights radar. We were all keeping a close watch on things as the thunderstorms moved through the WLFI viewing area. Yes, we did have some severe thunderstorm watches issued for our area. Also some tornado watches issued for areas in IL, and even a few north west counties here in our viewing area. Though we had the severe thunderstorm watched issued, we only seen one cell move into the WLFI viewing area that had a severe thunderstorm warning with it. We had a lot of things working with us last night that kept the severe weather away!

IL, was looking at Lifted index of -5 which as some of you already know anything lower then -4 has a chance at becoming severe, Also they had the higher CAPE of 2,000 J/kg, They even had higher EHI which is used along with CAPE to figure out where severe weather would be likely to develop. Now Indiana on the other hand was looking at a much more stable air mass. We had Lifted index around 2.2, Also low CAPE values, and low EHI coming in at only 0.02. EHI usually needs to be around 1.0 to 2.0 to support thunderstorms / severe thunderstorm development. So as we seen the storms move into our area we was watching them slowly weaken. The only severe thunderstorm warning to be issued for the WLFI viewing area was in Western Benton, county. The rest of us really did not see severe weather. However scattered rain showers / thundershowers was reported in areas along with some lightning reported in Frankfort.

So what caused all this to fire up? Well, it was that big cold front that is now making us feel pretty chilly out there!You can see in the image above what I'M talking about. This is how things will look today as that front continues to make its way through our area. We will see this front cool us off with highs only in the low 60s. Nights will cool off into the upper 40s! Yes, cool and crisp is the forecast today!

And looking into the weekly temperatures we can see we will be averaging our highs in the 60 to 70s. Yes, Autumn is here and coming faster then ever! Now I will check back a little later on with some wind gust totals from around the area! So be sure to check back.
