This afternoon, some sun will return at times as clouds thin and temperatures warm steadily.

A shower or storm could flare up across Central Indiana, but a more significant threat arrives late this evening and overnight (between 8 p.m. thru 4 a.m.).

Large, damaging hail, strong winds, and tornadoes remain the primary threat for the state through 4 a.m. Wednesday. Wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour are possible this evening through the overnight hours.

“We will be vigilant between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.,” Luchauer added. “This is a terrible time most people will be asleep and dangerous conditions can be on you before you even realize it.”

The National Weather Service has issued a hazordous weather outlook for Lawrence, Greene, Monroe, Brown, Bartholomew, Daviess, Martin, and Jackson Counties.
