The Storm Prediction Center has issued their first Day 1 maps for Thursday. It looks like some of the truly scary potential for severe weather is not quite coming together. At this point one might say the "Historic Outbreak" many were forecasting might have been averted. Of course it is difficult to say with 100% certainty that we are out of the woods.
For us in Kokomo, the potential for damaging winds remains high. Likely squall line thunderstorms in the overnight will bring with it strong winds. Potential remains for an isolated tornado of course.
Tomorrow will require a lot of monitoring and nowcasting. Hopefully things will settle down before reaching Indiana. (Hey, did you see some TV forecasts mentioning snow flurries next week? Sounds crazy to even be thinking snow about now.)
7 AM Edit: It looks like the storm system continued to increase intensity overnight. Tornado watch boxes now all the way up into southern Illinois, the bootheel of Mossuiri, and western Tennesse and Kentucky. Click here to see a nice overnight derecho. Scary stuff...
