Latest Update! I was just out in this mess!

We have a severe thunderstorm warning in effect right now for south western Tippecanoe county. Right now I was just out in this mess and we are seeing strong winds with heavy burst of rain at times. Lots of lightning some cloud to ground! Good news is I have not seen or recorded any hail reports in Tippecanoe county! No rotation at this time as well. Looks like after the front of this storm passes the rest should be okay. Just moderate to heavy rainfall through out this evening into tonight!

Still as always stay away from windows!! Lightning and high winds are our main threats at this time! Along with heavy rainfall. Benton, Newton, and Jasper, counties you are looking good at this time!!

Stay Tuned!!

Update as of 5:30pm EDT.

Well, currently we are looking at Lifted index for the WLFI viewing area around -1.7 which isn't to bad! Yes it is a little unstable but still not to bad! When it drops below -3 to -4 that's when things really start to look ugly. Still we are watching the counties of Benton, Newton, and Jasper closely at this time as they are seeing some strong storms push through the area as I type. Rainfall coming down at a rate of 1" to 2" inches an hour along with some pea sized hail possible. The National weather service has already put a severe thunderstorm warning into effect for those areas. Along with a flood warning for the north western parts of Benton, county.

Now Lafayette as around areas are still dry at this time however we are still staying with an 80% chance for some scattered to Moderate thunderstorms to make way into our area as the evening continues. Right now it is looking like most of the severe weather is staying north on Tippecanoe county. However pretty much the whole WLFI viewing area is under that severe thunderstorm WATCH until 8:00pm EDT tonight.

Now the good news with all this bad weather is I'm currently not picking up any signs of rotation! That's always a GOOD sign!

So stay tuned bloggers!

Area To Watch!

Areas to watch at this point and time closely are the areas or should I say the counties of Benton. Newton, And Jasper, as you can see the area in Pink below. My radar maps are picking up rainfall coming down at a rate of 1" to 2" inches an hour in these areas along with some pea sized hail possible. This whole area your can also see the national weather service put out a severe thunderstorm warning! If your in these areas please stay tuned to your local weather and stay storm ready. Good news Is I have not picked up any signs of rotation which is always a GOOD SIGN!!

Stay tuned! RADAR IMAGE TAKEN AT 5:08PM EDT.....

Storm Update Developing!!!!!

Stay Tuned!

Update!!

Good news is the storms are doing as expected and weakening as they move into the WLFI viewing area!! After looking at the current data before my first blog update I knew we were rather stable which was a GREAT sign that they would start to weaken as they moved across the area!! We no longer have a tornado warning in effect for Newton county!! Thank goodness! Still however a severe thunderstorm warning. Things are looking good at this time..... I think we will be okay! ;) Just some scattered thundershowers tonight! We can handle that lol :)

Sorry bloggers I was at a softball game!! Went great! Now back to weather. You can see we do have a severe line of thunderstorms coming our way here in the WLFI viewing area. This line of storms has given way to some tornadoes in the past in areas of IL. This is something to take note of. As you can see we do still have the red boxes posted in this radar image above for areas of IL. This is where the tornado warnings are currently in place. We will continue to watch this line closely as it moves closer and closer to the WLFI viewing area. Right now we look for a 60 to 80% chance for thunderstorms tonight. We are looking for Scattered to moderate storms. Now the good thing is we are looking kinda okay stable - wise! Lifted index is around -0.7 which isn't to bad! I think we will start to see some of the storms let up just a bit as they move closer to the WLFI viewing area! Still we need to be alert and focused on the radars! So for now I will continue to watch this developing story and I will check back as needed.

Main threats right now would be frequent lightning, Pea sized hail is possible. Few gusty winds! Heavy rainfall, and at the moment an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out! (But I'm working on it) lol :)

Long Time No Post! ;)
