The stuff currently developing from central IN into KY (and anything that fires immediately ahead of it) will be “the show”. We’ll see what the show ends up being. Airmass recovery attempting to occur ahead of that activity but it’s a short window to do it. The low is deepening so wind fields will be extremely robust. We’ll find out quite a bit about if much will happen in the next few hours.

yup... ingredients are there, let's see what gets baked

four severe warnings getting going in Indiana

[nwohweather]

Just wonder if there’s too much forcing aloft. Those storms are all crowding each other in Indiana pretty hard.

If instability keeps growing though, you’ve got an environment very supportive of strong tornadoes

[Floydbuster]

 

[andyhb]

Significant tornado in progress in central WV.

Also its 71/64 with a south wind at Covington KY (Cincinnati metro) rn. Anyone calling bust/counting out at least SW OH for later needs to take a step back.

[nvck]

Tornado likely about to touchdown soon in S IN, near Crothersville. pretty concerning velocity couplet

[IWXwx]

[Powerball]

Radar trends are looking pretty ominous for the Cincinnati area.

I’d agree that Cincinnati and Columbus are still well under the gun. But, the way everything is going mostly linear concerns me more than the instability

3 hours later, since that sounding, the atmosphere in SW Ohio has seen significant recovery, primarily thanks to the 40-50kt LLJ.

With the impressive shear & forcing in place, you don't need a ton of instability nor that much of a temperature spread for tornadic weather.

[BuffaloWeather]

Have 2 friends chasing this, they're both south of Columbus. Had a few hours of clearing already.

[IWXwx]

EMA confirmed tornado heading toward Lancaster/Wirt IN

[andyhb]

Strong tornado in progress in E TN NE of Wartburg right now.

Edit: also a tornado in progress NE of Louisville.

[Chinook]

confirmed tornado near Louisville

 

[featherwx]

2 simultaneous PDS’s now

Cars and semis flipped as the tornado crossed I 71 near LaGrange KY

[Chinook]

Ryan Hall showed pictures of damage in eastern West Virginia

[Chinook]

Funnel cloud at Covington

[dilly84]

I'm gonna say it may be a bust in Central Ohio. Whole lotta nothing here.

[Floydbuster]

 

Northern Ohio looking much lower risk. 

[Chinook]

confirmed tornado at the Ohio River

[Witness Protection Program]

I think it may have just missed Ripley (believe it or not....)

[andyhb]

Looks like a tornado approaching West Union OH with the same storm.

[nvck]

what a bust... I feel like this will degrade the public's confidence in the NWS, seeing as the event was so extensively discussed

[nwohweather]

Bust of a moderate for sure. Simply too many storms firing up on top of each other and too much rain this morning in OH/IN for severe north of Cincy

yea, it was frustrating.   When we got that clearing around 11:30 I thought it's game on.   Then that garbage rolled in around 2  and I think that was the nail in the coffin.   

One cool thing, the sky has been a show this evening.   Strange cloud formations, colors, and the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen.   I'll upload a pic when I get a chance.

Likely a tornado producing supercell south of Campbellsville, KY. Currently unwarned ATM.

It’s definitely producing now, still surprised at the lack of a Tor Warning.
