Thunderstorms Friday & Friday Night

Strong severe thunderstorms are very likely across much of the Mississippi Valley to portions of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. The morning is starting with thunderstorm watches and tornado watches just west of the Mississippi river.

Some isolated thunderstorms are already firing this morning ahead of the watch areas including in Indiana. Some of these have received warning boxes from the NWS.

The heat and moisture has already made it here. Previous severe weather risks were hindered by the lack of both and never could really get going. I think this will be different today so stay tuned...
