Since both days are sort of the same pattern(a heat ridge with perturbations/waves around the periphery that get coupled with lower level inflows and convergence that generate huge clusters of storms.
Instead, readers don't have to scroll 5 miles down, thru yesterdays stuff to get to today's coverage.

This was the last severe thunderstorm watch issued earlier this afternoon, valid until 9pm. There's a decent chance that a NEW watch will be issued outside this box, depending on where the storms are tracking.
Good chance that area will be south of this watch box and include Evansville again because these storms are moving with such a dominant north to south component.
We got 1.4 inches of wonderful rain yesterday and are good for the next week and got lucky to miss out on the 100+ reports of damage, mainly to our south in KY.

The Storm Prediction Center has extended the enhanced, level 3 of 5 risk down to southern IN. Mainly for high winds NOT tornadoes.

If a warning is issued with these kind of storms, stay inside of a building with a foundation, away from windows until the storms pass. You'll be OK.
Being in a mobile home during a severe thunderstorm is a risky venture. Most people will be ok but this is NOT a safe place to be like it is in a permanent structures.
Lightning kills as many people as tornadoes so don't be outside unless necessary! You are safe inside of a car which is grounded if struck by lightning.
Try to avoid driving on roads with tall trees on either side during a strong thunderstorm if you must be out.
If you are driving at XX mph on the road, a tree can suddenly fall in front of you or on top of you before you can stop.
If anything, like we got here yesterday, this will mostly result in a great rain for cutworm in southeast, IN as well as many producers in IN.
