Also have some severe storms with a tornado warning up in the northern half of Indiana now, too.

If that is indeed a TDS, Mayestown just took a terrible hit

Some storm chasers on that cell report not seeing anything down right now. Pray that it's true and that it remains like this!

For what it's worth, that warning has now been downgraded to "radar-indicated".

Although there was no tornado, I can definitely understand how signatures like that could get misconstrued in the spur-of-the-moment. Regardless, these two cells are in a highly favorable environment and stand a chance of producing tornadoes in the near-term.

Their radar needs to be in SAILS too, unless it is not available there?

Well, that was fun. Keeping our group's owner updated (they're having a conference in St. Louis starting tonight) and discovered he didn't know the difference between a watch and a warning and the dude used to LIVE THERE! Before they pulled the first warning, I told him the cell was hooking and it could be any minute until a warning. "Oh good! If it's hooking it should miss us!" SMH And this man is a million-dollar seller while I worry about money every day. *sigh* Some days I really don't like normies. (But he did thank me profusely for letting them know.)

This is seriously impressive. Feels much more like late May than the middle of March.

That Kentucky cell is still trucking along at severe level. Looks like it might drop some rain on my in-laws. Glad it will only be that.

Several traffic accidents have been reported in that vicinity associated with that hail.

Take a look at this three-body scatter spike on the cell near Poneto, IN:

If this storm on the right of the circle can get a bit of separation, your looking at a tornado producer or if they just merge or what not already imo

The Wabash, OH cell looks a little bit sus...

 

[cincywx]

the environment here is certainly more conducive than it was back in indiana, and it looks like this cell is trying to tap into that
