OUR RADAR IS PRETTY QUIET AND YOU CAN SEE A COUPLE SHOWERS POPPING UP OFF TO ETH WEST. THEY ARE THE FIRST OF SEVERAL THAT WILL DEVELOP AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. RADAR WILL FILL IN TO THE WEST OVER CENTRAL INDIANA AND THE STORMS WILL LIFT ORVE OR AREA THROUGH TODAY. SO YOU WILL NOTICE A BUSIER SCENE FROM WEST TO EAST TOWARD 1:00, 2:,00 BECAUSE OF THE STRONGONFR CONT COMING IN, CONFRONT MOVING IT THAT WILL DRIVE THE THUNDERORMSST TODAY AND THIS AREA, THIS TRIANGLE BETWNEE A WARM FRONT AND CONFRONT IS A FAVORABLE ZONE FOR STORMS THAT PRODUCE SEVEER WEATHER, UBER TORNADOES.
