Some storms are in the area. The SPC does have a discussion taking place for our area but no plans for a watch.
DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED STORMS IS ONGOING ALONG SURFACE FRONT/LOW
LEVEL CONFLUENCE ZONE EXTENDING BENEATH UPPER RIDGE...EAST OF THE
MID MISSOURI/UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA
AND SOUTHWEST OHIO. PRECIPITABLE WATER CONTENT OF THE AIR MASS
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY IS HIGH...IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES...AND HEATING TO
NEAR 90F OF BOUNDARY LAYER WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID 70S HAS
CONTRIBUTED TO STRONG CAPE IN EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG. DEEP LAYER SHEAR
WITHIN LIGHT UNIDIRECTIONAL NORTHWESTERLY FLOW IS WEAK...BUT
THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ARE PROBABLY UNSATURATED ENOUGH AT MID-LEVELS
TO PROMOTE THE RISK FOR LOCALIZED DOWNBURSTS AND GUSTY SURFACE WINDS
ALONG OUTWARD SPREADING OUTFLOWS. OTHERWISE ...LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SLOW MOVING STRONGER UPDRAFT PULSES
THROUGH EARLY EVENING.
