Be weather aware!

6:00 AM Tuesday, April 2nd Update: We continue to track what will likely be a substantial severe weather outbreak later today.

Showers and thunderstorms will diminish this morning and allow for ample clearing and destabilization of the atmosphere later this morning and into this afternoon. This will set the stage for a widespread severe weather and tornado outbreak later today.

Here is the current severe weather outlook today. It should be noted, we anticipate the moderate risk will be shifted west to include more of Indiana in the next update based on the latest guidance / trends.

Severe thunderstorms will develop across Western Indiana between 1 & 3 PM and will move across Indiana and into Western Ohio through the afternoon and evening hours. All of the storms that develop today will likely quickly become severe with a threat of damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes. Some of the tornadoes will likely be long lived and strong.

Today is a severe weather alert day. It is a day that you MUST stay weather aware and have a way to receive weather warnings. And if a tornado warning is issued, you must take it seriously and seek shelter in an interior room or basement.

We will have updates throughout the day so stay tuned to IndianaWeatherOnline for the latest information.
