5/31 - 11am - Everything Shifted Northward

The severe weather we were supposed to receive yesterday shifted northward and caused quite a few problems near Indianapolis. Large hail, funnel clouds, wall clouds, and even a few tornadoes were reported. Here's the complete map of storm reports from the SPC yesterday:


There were some heavy storms in Breckinridge County, KY last night that put down some large hail and very heavy rain. That's as close as the storms got to Louisville last night.

Today, tomorrow, and Tuesday look very nice, with highs in the upper 80's and sunny skies. Storms might roll through on Tuesday night, but I'm more concerned with Wednesday. With a cold front to our south, good instability, and decent moisture, there could be some severe weather across the area. There's a great deal of question as to how fast and when this front will pass through, so I'll leave the severe weather probability in the chance category for the moment.

I should be able to post everyday this week, but there will be a lot of things going on. I have three more days of high school left, then graduation on Friday, and finally I leave for Denver on Saturday to go storm chasing.

6 days until storm chasing begins!
