yeah you're in a great spot, looks like a nice light show if nothing else. 

things that make you go hmmmmm

convection blowing up over northern IL and IN again

Ended up with just over an inch on the day. High of 69, low of 67, lol

suicide wx... haven't crested 70W/m^2 of solar radiation the entire day, and it's just been drizzling for about 10 hours. 0nly 0.63" to show for it...

...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR CAMBRIDGE CITY, BROWNSVILLE AND DUNLAPSVILLE INDIANA...

...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1215 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON FOR SOUTHEASTERN FAYETTE, UNION AND WAYNE COUNTIES IN EAST CENTRAL INDIANA...

At 1032 AM EDT, local law enforcement reported flash flooding in Numerous flooded roads across the warned area, with up to 5 feet of water in Cambridge City. Between 3.5 and 6.5 inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2.5 inches are possible.

FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Cambridge City, Brownsville and Dunlapsville Indiana. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing flash flooding.

SOURCE...Law enforcement reported.

IMPACT...This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW! Life threatening flash flooding of low water crossings, small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.

Really dire situation in southeast Indiana, looks like they could stack another 3-5" on top of this.

Gust to 82mph at Columbus' John Glenn airport !! SVR-D now. 

Cluster kinda fell apart as it got down towards me, but still some decent gusts. gusted to 39kts at Lunken and CVG which more than verifies the 40mph SPS. Surprised that wilmington dropped the SVR, though I haven't seen anything that would verify 50kt winds. 

Hopefully PM round is more electric

Thought I'd be waking up to some high-end garden variety stuff, but a pretty potent bow approaching I-70 now. Watch just issued that mentions scattered 80mph gusts, didn't think we'd get that until the afternoon

Look out Fort Wayne. Storms are lined up like a train.

already a radar estimated 1-1.25" along an axis just south of the city, in about an hour. feel like we'll start to FFWs issued in another hour or so

Flooding may end up being the bigger headline around here if the timing doesn't play out right with the rounds of storms

severe watch just got expanded WAY west, covering i think all of ILN's FA now. pretty surprising, given neither the hrrr or rrfs develop much (if any) convection here through sunset. 

Expired the watch two hours early amidst totally blue skies.

Not surprised given your antisemitism.

woke up to t'storms this morning, something like 500 strikes in a 5/10 mile radius around me. picked up about a half inch from that. rounds of showers started around 2 hours ago, not a ton of thunder, but up to 2" on the day so far. will probably pick up another 0.5" if we're lucky

prayers 4 powerball

not a good sign for the fire situation out west

Heavy rain and some rumbles of thunder this morning, but it's been clearing out over the past hour or so, up to 81/72 at CVG. interested in what this line coming from our west will bring

I guess pleasant is relative.  This is from SW Alaska.  Personally I would agree with you though.
 

 

crazy how perspectives on heat vary so much / change so quickly. coming out of the winter, first 70 degree day of the spring is usually pretty jarring, feels *hot* in the direct sun. after a few months of that, though, the 82 degree high here today felt super pleasant, even in direct sun

Last 2 runs of the nam are interesting around here for Saturday afternoon/evening

Ignoring the obvious accidental doxing .. lol but would be cool to see the users mapped out in our region

95% live w/in a county or two of 94 from Minneapolis to Detroit, it seems lol

Never seen anything like what's going on in Wisconsin rn 

Rare to see the CSU and SPC so at odds (wrt Tuesday). 12k NAM has a couple rounds here locally, one midday and one later in the evening, while the RRFS has just one, in the afternoon. my interest is certainly piqued whenever we get strong flow in the summer, so expecting at least a few SVRs throughout the day.

sig flash flooding here yesterday, 1-in-49 year return period. more prefrontals this afternoon before a shot at something  more substantial tn
