I wonder if the old folks are going to head to the basement for the 10am test

Might be a confusing day for some

A couple counties around here canceled the test today citing the confusion and the fact they already tested them last week.

The severe threat looks substantial here in Northern Indiana. That warm front is going to cut right through the area and any storm that latches onto it could rotate violently similar to what we saw in Michigan on Friday.

Happy double hatched 10 percent tornado day for all those who celebrate.

i like the moderate risk, i like a 10/15% tor. my only thought would have been to increase hail probs as well.

not often i give the spc an atta boy, but here you go.

Also, 63 at KARR and 48 IMBY. Down from 57 IMBY about an hour ago. Got a good idea where that boundary is lying ATM.

Could someone briefly let me know what the word is on expected storm speeds? At least it won't be one of those 50+ racing days right?

Classic setup with the front bisecting the DVN cwa.  One of the reasons northwest IL (luckily) has an extremely hard time getting anything other than QLCS one scan wonders afa tornadoes.  

Still may see some large hailers later on though north of the boundary.

39.6° here. I'm wondering if it'll even rain here.

Front sitting where it usually does this time of year... Dont hate MBY for hailers, prolly garden variety further north.

Yeah, this past 24 hours has been very typical of spring in NE IL. I know most people hate it, but I love it. Would love a good storm, but must say owning my own home makes me want to experience severe weather (aside from snow, of course) much less. I knew the lake would protect us as it normally does, which isn't a bad thing. I'll be watching the radar and any lives further south while being safe and sound up here.

Temps just dropped pretty good where I am if that means anything. Kankakee area, 60954

Think wf might be going back south through the IKK metro? Someone's PWS on the north side had a drop from 68 to 48 in 30 minutes

At least the clouds are clearing out more in northern and central il
