Heavy Rainfall This Morning

A morning MCS has brought heavy rainfall, over 2.00" so far, along with quite the lightning show. I had pea size hail here at my place earlier. There could be another line that moves through in the next hour. Just to the north of here, there is a nasty bow echo producing high winds that should miss us. Very active morning. There is potential for severe weather this afternoon/evening with the warm front moving though, but to what degree the atmosphere can recover after this morning's storms is always a concern. As well, the threat looks to be mainly north of Lafayette, but it would be wise to stay vigilant later today. More severe weather and thunderstorms are possible tomorrow.

Updated rainfall totals: 2.82" at LAF and 2.93" at WLFI through 10:00AM this morning.
11:00AM update: Up to 3.13" at LAF, which breaks the daily record for today of 2.92" set back in 1964.
