Looks like a pretty active day on tap for eastern IL points east through Indiana and Ohio.

Things remain pretty muddled further west out over Iowa. Kind of surprised SPC left Iowa in the slight. Lots of surface cape out in Iowa, and there are some remnant boundaries. However, effective bulk shear values are meager to say the least. Mid-level winds are pretty weak. Anything that fires out there will have a hard time getting organized, but I guess we'll see.

It will be interesting to see how that complex of storms in NE IL develops and tracks. Our dewpoints here in Michiana are in the low 70's compared to the upper 50's with the June 29 derecho.

I'm worried about what might happen when the storms in nrn IL interact with the lake breeze evident on LOT radar.

The lake breeze is blowing here. I can see the outflow boundary entering Lake County now. Cumulus are approaching with it as well.
