QUOTE(melissa from illinois @ May 6 2012, 11:10 PM)  Weathermonger, you lookin at the radar? Most of the time  Seen it starting to develop earlier, thought "great now it's south of me". Probably step outside in a bit and enjoy the lightning. |

Hearing the thunder, quite a bit of elevated lightning. Crappy southern view though. Still seeing stars directly overhead

Night photos especially with a phone are hard, but here's what I see every 5-10 seconds when the lightning flashes. Definitely building going on.

Thunder and lightning here, no rain which is fine. Rather have the theatrics |

I'm having trouble deciding on the risk factor for the Dayton area today from reading all the forecasts. What are your thoughts?

Well, if they are anything like the "severe storms" (NOT) that we got, then I wouldnt be too worried. Severe weather this year just isnt playing out around here. Good luck tho. -------------------- "Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, its a TWISTER its a TWISTER!"

That was some lightning show this morning. I thought a bomb went off! Many places don't have to worry about the drought issue anymore. Measured 2.27 inches IMBY. Places south of me got anywhere from 3-4 inches plus.

Hoping for some boomers around here. Hot as heck but only 79 lol. Dew Point of 68 is not comfortable no matter the temps.

They now took the Dayton area and South out of the slight risk. I'm sorry for those of you that love it, but I, for one, am Happy!

Sad to see the slight risk go. Hopefully storms still fire.
