Windy with severe storms possible today

INDIANA – It’s an active start to the new work week with showers and a few isolated storms that have already developed across central Indiana. This is a day to be weather aware.

A potent storm system is moving east and will bring the chance for strong to severe storms later this afternoon.

Isolated damaging wind gusts are possible and a rotating storm can’t be ruled out.

Warming temperatures and strong midlevel winds may keep the chance for strong to severe storms alive as this line gets here.

From noon until 4 p.m., there will be the concern for isolated strong to severe storms with another round of more scattered showers and storms that will be pushed through the state ahead of a cold front. Again, damaging winds will be the primary threat but a rotating storm can’t be ruled out.

In addition to storm activity, a Windy Advisory is in effect today from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. across most of central Indiana. Non-thunderstorm-related wind gusts up to 50 mph are possible. This could lead to some power outages, and wind damage and make driving difficult.

Temperatures will surge to the 60s today before dropping to the upper 30s early Tuesday. Although it won’t be as warm Tuesday, temperatures will still rise to above-average levels and be dry. Temperatures will be nearing 70° Wednesday with minor rain chances in the afternoon and evening.

Another potential winter storm could impact the area Friday. Right now, there is a lot of uncertainty on the track of this system.
