kevlon62 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Heavy rain for the last five minutes but now barely a whimper. Winds to 35-40 for a bit. Looks to be over rather quickly here. To play off the words of a former football coach regarding our big but injury-decimated team back in college, "At least it[we] looked good getting off the bus."

cyclone77 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Went out and time lapsed outflow boundary and some nice convection with 50kft tops firing behind it to the northwest.

Chinook Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Looks like a broad 15% severe outlook for tomorrow in the Ohio Valley. I think Ohio and Indiana will have at least two severe watches tomorrow. Some of the shear parameters look pretty good for a change. The supercell composite parameter may be above 8 in Indiana or Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksstormhunter Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Looks like another round of convection possible across the Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky areas. My model showing around Northern KY and Southern IN/OH indices around 20-23Z of LI's around -7, SFC CAPE's around 2,200 J/KG, ML CAPES aroun 1,826 J/KG. Early indications are 1" hail possibility and wind gusts up to 70mph possible across this region.
