May Storms Arrive

Today looks to being afternoon storms of which a few will be severe. A weak low pressure with a cold front could bring some linear (squall line) storms across northern Indiana beginning mid to late afternoon. Possibility of an isolated storm cell could produce a small tornado in northern Indiana and Ohio. Dew points are excellent at 60+ for such action.

Another update after lunch when things start to form.

Afternoon Update

The low seems to be tracking north and I expect a watch to be issued for northern counties and into Michigan before 3 PM. Things might skirt over us today and we might even remain clear except for a late evening shower.

Bottom line - keep doing what you are doing and check back around quiting time.

Evening Update

I missed the boat calling for clear weather. We had some light storms with a couple of quick bursts of hail ranging from pea to nickle sized hail. No winds to speak of followed these storms. About 4/10 of an inch of rain fell. As I suspected, things went north near the IN/MI border and into OH. There was some good lighting and had it been night, some good opportunities for photography. Oh well, maybe next time....
