Early this morning, they were talking about the potential for hail, large hail to gigantic hail (never heard that before) for Saturday in Illinois & Western Indiana.  Now we get this...

Points east might want to pay attention, it will be heading that way I'm guessing.

Welcome to the south. That's every other day here.

This is what it used to be like when I was little here & the majority of Northern Illinois was still corn fields.  Didn't sleep much last night, I'd start to drop off & WHAM, another lightning bolt nearby.

I guess the real fun begins this afternoon.  The most dangerous area keeps expanding.

I just looked all that up on the spc.gov website. Long track EF 2 and stronger tornadoes are a definite possibility this afternoon. If that area gets any sunshine today it could get pretty bad. Bad enough that they are considering upgrading the risk to extreme. Atm they have two mezoscale discussions, one in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma area and one in Texas.

round 1 is about an hour away right now. just supposed to be rain and/or wind this morning.

we missed the predicted egg-size hail overnight, so maybe that's a good sign. but we're also in the red zones for today. we'll get it first down here, so i'll let you know what to expect from her sloppy seconds.

aren't "they" saying that tornado alley is shifting east from ks/neb and into iowa/mo/il? because we needed more severe weather than we already get.

East as in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Oh yeah and Kentucky for good measure.
