Good morning! It's a little hard to believe heavy rain and severe storms are in the forecast right now, as it is a bright and dry start to the day! BIG changes are on the way later today, and here is the latest...I wanted to update you with the latest chances for severe weather. Here are the latest maps from the SPC....
Notice there is a 5% tornado risk for areas south of Bloomington and Columbus this evening. The reason why is that there is going to be quite a bit of spin in the atmosphere, and changing wind directions above the surface later today, which is critical for tornadoes to develop. Obviously, damaging winds will be the highest threat across southern Indiana, with a decent threat for large hail as well.
*UPDATE* - As of this blog typing, the SPC has shifted the slight risk farther north, to include portions of southern Morgan, Johnson, and Shelby counties. This means many areas south of I-70 are now under the risk for severe storms. While I think the majority of severe weather will be south of Bloomington and Columbus, a few severe storms are possible as far north as Martinsville, Franklin, and Shelbyville.
I will have many updates on facebook today. When warnings are issued, I will post all warnings on facebook, and I may even do live blog updates this evening if they are needed.
The timing for severe weather looks to be from 4pm to midnight.
Stay tuned, and have a great day!
