Severe Weather Threat May 7-10, 2024

What's your thoughts for the Cincinnati metro area on timing/intensity today?

I'm not an expert so please keep that in mind but I think the metro will be clear of storms until 6:30/7pm. Sometime not long after that, we'll see at least some thunderstorms start to approach town. We have to see how the storms entering western/southwestern Indiana behave as they move east/northeast across southern Indiana as that will determine how severe they'll be when they approach the Tri-State.
 
Tyler Kurtz has the Terre Haute storm on his stream:

 
Thank goodness the Terre Haute storm didn't produce over the city. But there's still plenty of civilization between now and when the cell (if it holds together) eventually impacts the Indianapolis Metro.
 
Sorry for the dumb question, but what does an "RF" reading on a velocity scan mean? I'm trying to look at the the velocity scan on the Terra Haute cell and Radar Scope is giving me "RF" on pretty much half of the rotation. If it basically saying it can't get a reading?

Not sure what "RF" stands for, but what you're seeing is radar interference
