Crapvection will make this mediocre for most areas, especially the western end of SPC’s risk area. Seems to be the norm the last several years. 

Don’t mind me while I struggle to remove my foot from my mouth. 

That line near Peoria May be interesting for the metro in a couple hours

Per visible a nice clearing is headed to CMH.  We’ve had very little in the way of rain today except this morning early.  Thinking Ohio is going to be a surprise later.

I've been thinking the same thing all day as well.  RAP is bringing the best EHI from the current storms in KY/IN all the way up to north-central Ohio; HRRR keeps the highest EHI values west of CMH.  Not going to rule out tornadoes near CMH though (SPC has a 5%-10% in the area for a reason).

This is very much a now-casting situation.

The amount of discrete/semi-discrete well developed supercells making their way into southern Indiana is uhhh.... concerning. Basically every storm that isn’t clustered has a hook.

supercell east of Evansville (or near Boonville) will be one to watch. Rotation has really started to ramp up.

Hey, you're not alone.  The CAM output last night had me thinking too much early convection/leftover cloud cover.  Meanwhile, the sun is out here now.

Fine line in these setups.

Dear atmosphere,

If we're going to have severe weather events, could you please at least make it a clear-cut high risk, PDS day? When was the last time there was one of those in Dixie? 4/28/14? The Plains? 4/14/12? OH Valley? 3/2/12? Enough with these conditionally nasty days, some of which underperform like last Saturday and some of which produce something like 3/3 or today?

Sincerely,

The entire U.S. weather enterprise

Wow, very intense motion, including vertical, along with horizontal vortices. 

Yeah, those horizontal funnels are reminiscent of some very volatile/active days... seem to occur when the energy in the atmosphere is ample for rotation.

Any risk across NE. Illinois will definitely remain isolated. The tor watch was probably for a precaution, but the 10% hatched tor risk is laughable and beyond bad.

The environment right now is actually decent, but there is way too much activity ongoing to take advantage of it.

I'd say the 2 leading tor warned cells in Indiana are close to having tors in progress or already do.

That supercell between Mitchell and Medora looks highly likely to being on the ground right now. CC really popped as it went over Orleans and has been downtrending the last few scans, along with the velocity couplet.
