Staying Alert & Watching Things Carefully
The Storm Prediction Center has indicated they are not anticipating extending a weather watch into our area. The main cold front which is not very strong to begin with is still located hundreds of miles from home. There is not much wind shear to work with and the low-level wind speeds are still fairly light which would limit any widespread severe weather. With that said we could still see an isolated wind gust of 60 mph, but the main threats still appear to be lightning and pockets of localized flooding. The areas I am watching most closely right now are south of Interstate 74 which includes Fountain and Montgomery Counties. But even Warren, Tippecanoe, and Clinton Counties will still have to watch things carefully. The strongest storms should pop between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. tonight before another line of weaker thunderstorms moves through late tonight witht the main cold front.

Some good news is there has only been wind reports with this system so no tornados or hail very good sign there.
So like Mike said the main threats is some high wind heavy rain's and lightning which lightning is always a threat with a thunderstorm.

Looks like this line might be heading a little more North than expected, I wouldnt doubt if tipp co will be in it! the sky has to let lose at some point, Hey justin what do you think?
I was thinking the same think about this system we really need to watch this very closely right now the clouds are still 600FT with some hail and high wind so all I can say right now is don't let your guard down and always be ready.

The site I use, weatherbug.com, changed from saying earlier that we may have severe thunderstorms to just thunderstorms with possibly heavy rainfall.
By 7:45pm south tippecanoe, will be getting some thunderstorms still the worst looks to be in vermillion, co, and fountain co, still don't let your guard down.

South tipp, and montgomery, look to get the most of this system as well as clinton, and carroll, still need to be ready for it look's to be going your way.
Should be in south tipp by 8:45pm.

Looking at the SPC there was a tornado reported just south of champaign I'LL.
Justin in Lafayette.
Just now hearing some distant thunder here in Monticello...looks like another 10-20 minutes before it starts pouring.
Doesn't look threatening at the moment. Looks like the worst of it is further south.
Looking at the radar it is showing some bowing which means high winds and that is whats moveing into montgomery co, as well as clinton and carroll co,
Down south of boon co, is were they are haveing clouds as high as 550FT with TVS.
