The Storm Prediction Center is not going to issue a weather watch for the Lafaeytte area tonight. It looks like the most unstable air will remain just south of Interstate 70, but I still think we will have a gusty storm or two to track tonight at 11 p.m. I will see you then and have the latest on Live Doppler 18. Right now our main threats will continue to be gusty winds of 40 to 50 mph and quarter-size hail. Even though we will slowly lose our daytime heating we do have an upper-disturbance that will swing through the area allowing the second line of storms to hold together and move through our area. Yes, we could still have an isolated strong storm which could hoist a brief thunderstorm warning. Things should quickly settle down after midnight. If anything changes or goes severe I will let you know. Later this week it still looks much more interesting for strong storms and flooding. The good news is the Wabash is below flood stage and that should help us out this time around.

Thanks Mike for the constant updates...
I've been used to hanging out on the Storktrack.org forums and following the chasers predictions.
I think it would be informative and fun if you could talk about a different weather term or concept and the effect that has on Severe weather in your blog everday.
i.e. How does wind shear effect the strength of thunderstorms...
Thanks

dewpoints are now up to 55 were 47 at 3:00 this afternoon, going up and up
It was so humid, yesterday evening, that I quickly went to your blog - to see if we were getting some severe weather. Thankfully - it missed us!
I am also thankful the river is below flood stage - this morning (2am) it was under 8 feet.
Thanks for keeping us updated!
