[Update #2] Severe Weather Forecast (Sunday - Tuesday)

Today started out a little rocky but died down before lunch. However I would not be the least bit surprised to see an evening of thunderstorms across Texas and Oklahoma. Monday looks rather ominous with a very large area of slight risk stretching into western Indiana. Missouri has the potential to be a moderate risk tomorrow.

A somewhat overlook area of concern is the northern Illinois area highlighted in pink below. Severe potential associated with warm fronts can be difficult to understand and reliably predict. However some notable severe weather outbreaks have been associated with a warm front including the 1965 Palm Sunday outbreak which devastated many places in Indiana.

For our area on Monday, expect some isolated thunderstorms ahead of the cold front. This activity will in the evening and after dark which seems to happen a lot in Indiana. Nothing is more fun than trying to spot severe weather in the dark.
