Guessing by the lack of ppsts today is much ado about nothing, but with as boring as this Spring has been here I'll take anything I can get. Could probably count on one hand the days I have heard thunder thus far.

Expansive slight risk added

Think you just needed to click on APX star

Bit odd seeing a pulse squall line, thing has made very little progress east as it starts to weaken in the midsection. Was worried about some dirt track races getting rained out, shouldn't be a problem at all. At least for the ones I'm wanting to watch.

2 confirmed tornados ongoing in west central IL. No watch out and SPC doesn't even have 2% chance in SWODY 1

Currently 73/61 here

Enhanced dropped from central IL just as the sun comes out to laugh. If it isn't cleared out by 8:30am anymorr I lose hope, and even then we usually get a surprise capping. Give me some thunder amd I'll be contemt.

Large moderate introduced for tomorrow

Think I found the culprit, synoptic winds howling right now so doubt they try fixing it tonight.

Warned now, wonder if airport recorded a gust or widespread power outage prompted it

Power went out here as thunderstorm moved in, not sure if it was a bit of mixing down or high synoptic winds earlier created something for the rain to take advantage of. Bit of thunder but not much. Oil lamps are something not many have or appreciate anymore. Glad I have a few.

Precip has arrived, falling as snow pellets at a good clip. Better than freezing rain and/or sleet.

Misting here, not flurries. Might get a bit more freezing rain than expected.

You get any thunder today? Got woke up about 4:10 this morning with some good thunder and lightning, then torrential bursts of rainfall. Radar estimates of 1.5" but airport recordings overnight have been down for a while now. Either way, been a long time since a good thunderstorm. I'll trade snow for that any day.

Nothing left but drifts and plow mounds here. Currently have exhaust fans and doors open at work, won't be long before snow becomes a hinderance. March 15th is my transition to Spring mode, but I know there'll be cold and possibly snow after that.
