Only 5% tornado though.

Any thoughts?

Huh, that looks like today's (Friday) outlook....

Posted: **Fri Apr 14, 2006 11:45 am**

Yeah that is today's outlook. There is very seldom a moderate risk with only 5% tornado unless it is a sure-fire squall line.

Oops! Feels like Saturday, with the Holiday and all. My bad.

Can the SPC upgrade a Severe Thunderstorm Watch to a Tornado Watch before the first watch expires?

Does that watch simply get cancelled or upgraded while keeping the same number?

Posted: **Fri Apr 14, 2006 12:41 pm**

Still don't understand the 5% for tornadoes but 45% (unhatched) for wind considering this does not appear to be a squall line event.

Posted: **Fri Apr 14, 2006 1:37 pm**

It is such a small 5% area too. Does anyone expect an upgrade to 10%?

Posted: **Fri Apr 14, 2006 1:56 pm**

I expect a upgrade to 15 or 20...

20 tornado's now. In yesterday could of made a few f3s by the way it sounds.

When is activity supposed to start? It's looking like a bust right now...

Posted: **Fri Apr 14, 2006 6:37 pm**

Hardly a bust. There's a nice rightmover south of Chicago, on the border of IL and IN:

Pretty strong BWER on that thing, too.

Another nice supercell to its ENE.

BTW, conestogo_flood, if you're in KIND like you said you were planning to be, if you ever wanted to possibly die in a tornado, I-65 westbound is where you want to be. Maybe I-74 if that thing keeps turning right so hard.

Lots of bad weather in IL and IN. Stay safe, everyone!

This cell is organising very well at the moment. Heading straight for the Indianapolis area (although still a little way out) so it needs to be watched.

Posted: **Fri Apr 14, 2006 7:21 pm**

The storms are moving towards Indianapolis as we speak.

Now headed toward Cincy metro...skies very, VERY scary looking over Florence right now...I'm really scared of what's coming down the pike...

Looks like the storms over SE IN are producing quarter-size hail.

Golfball size hail reported in Batesville, IN a few minutes ago according to WCPO-TV in Cincy.
