Update as of 6:45pm

Radar image taken at 6:40pm EDT

You can see the current problem area which is inside the pick. Right now entering Montgomery county you can expect HEAVY RAINFALL 1" to 2" inches an hour. I'm not going to rule out the chance for some pea sized hail. Also expect frequent lightning and gusty winds as this storm is showing signs of bowing. After they push through Montgomery county and Tippecanoe county expect them in the Clinton county area and the Boon county area. Pretty much if your south of Lafayette, then you have the better chance of severe weather. North of Lafayette you should be okay! Good news is I have seen no rotation with these storms! Lafayette you are just about finished with severe! Only the eastern parts of Tippecanoe are seeing it at this time.

Stay tuned!

Radar Image At 7:17pm, Things Are Looking Good As The Strong Line Moves Off To Our East!!

As you can see the strong line of severe storms, aka the ones that caused all the problems are now moving out of the WLFI viewing area thank goodness! Now all we have to worry about is some light to moderate rainfall through out this evening. But that's just fine with me. Now we do have some flooding threats around the area! And we do still have that flood warning in effect for north western Benton, county! This will be your biggest threat for tonight if you live in the Benton, county area. Otherwise things are looking good for the rest of us. Just light to moderate rainfall and maybe a few more thundershowers could be possible. But the severe line as you can see above is moving off to our east north east!
I'll check back again if needed!

Things are looking up!

We are still watching the storm cell near Logansport at this time. Storms are still moving East North East. The storms that went through the WLFI viewing area had Echo tops AKA Cloud tops reaching as high as 40,000ft to 45,000ft which yes is severe!! Good news is the worst is now passed counties such as Benton, Newton, Jasper, Warren, Fountain, Carroll, Tippecanoe, and White, counties. We are now only looking at Echo tops around 30,000ft to 35,000ft which is much better! Still scattered thundershowers through out this evening into tonight but the worst is over for the counties listed above!

Montgomery, Clinton, and Cass, county things are looking up for you as well.

Stay Tuned!
