Not sold on much severe in the LSV Sunday - clouds might not let anything destabilize. But the winds will still be fierce and a squall line can still occur even if not officially severe. 
I don't know the true definition of a derecho, but this evening in Missouri/Iowa/Illinois seems like a derecho event is going to occur. 

Today might be worse than tomorrow since prime storm mode seems to be late night. Nws St Louis put out a stark afd this morning mentioning possible ways this threat might fail becoming less and less likely as new data comes in.

I hope they are preparing body bags in the south for tonight and tomorrow.

I don't have a weather station but I am going to buy the approved gauge for $42. If anyone knows a cheaper approved gauge please post. I think it would be great if we could get 2-4 new approved locations for this.

I’ve been using this gauge for a decade, still going strong! Nothing else comes close.

Agreed.  I have cocorahs sites at all 3 of my courses.   I also have one next to my official 8” gauge at the house and they’re usually within a few hundreds of each other.   Weather your way website has a 5 dollar discount on that rain gauge for the month of march.

I don't think I have ever seen a vort max so evident on traditional radar before the fetch.

Makes sense. May get some thunder E of you but that’s about it - I’ll that the rain though.
