Radar image taken at 1:01pm EDT...

Okay bloggers. We have this small line of rain / thunderstorms about to move into the WLFI viewing area. Right now looking to be closer to Tippecanoe, county and White, / Carroll, counties closer to 2:00pm EDT this afternoon. Now I'm picking up some lightning strikes with this system and the national weather service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for a county in IL right around the city of Effingham, IL. This system is moving north east at around 48.8 mph. This is the only area currently with a severe thunderstorm warning in effect. Now I have gone through our current data and the temperatures have been going up slowly. We are looking at a slightly unstable Lifted index (LI) at -0.3. And our Total Totals models (TT) are showing a 20% to 40% chance for some scattered thunderstorms to moderate thunderstorms possible in the area. So right now we are not looking to bad but with this system still holding together as it moves closer we will have to keep a close eye on it as with any system. Nothing severe to talk about in the WLFI viewing area as of now!

Still stay tuned..... I will check back with another update soon.....
