Sun popped out for about 30 minutes here. Now cloudy again. Hopefully this crap dies down as it heads east. Praying for all the people that have already experienced massive impacts today. Sadly this event still has a long way to go.

New watch coming for IN.

   0620 PM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023

   Areas affected...Eastern Illinois...Far Southeast
   Wisconsin...Western and Central Indiana...Far Southwestern Lower
   Michigan

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 96...

   Valid 312320Z - 010115Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 96 continues.

   SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to be maintained across WW 96
   over the next few hours, and will increase later this evening as
   storms move into the watch from the west. New WW issuance will
   eventually be needed to the east and south of WW 96, from eastern
   Illinois into west-central Indiana southward into western and
   central Kentucky.

   DISCUSSION...The latest WSR-88D radar from Chicago shows scattered
   strong to severe storms located from the central part of WW 96
   eastward into far northern Indiana. This east-to-west corridor is
   located along a warm front extending east-southeastward from a 996
   mb low. Rotating storms that interact with the warm front could
   become tornadic. Otherwise, a wind-damage and large hail threat will
   continue with the stronger cells along and near the front. As the
   exit region of a 90 to 110 knot mid-level jet approaches from the
   southwest early this evening, large-scale ascent and deep-layer
   shear will increase across the lower Ohio Valley. This will make
   conditions increasingly favorable for severe storms. In response,
   intense storm development will become widespread, especially as
   severe line segments move into the area from the west. Tornadoes,
   wind damage and large hail will be likely with the more intense
   cells.

   The severe threat will increase to the east and south of WW 96 later
   this evening, necessitating WW issuance across parts of southeast
   Illinois into western/central Indiana and Kentucky.
