⚠️A potentially impactful day for severe weather is on the table tomorrow across Indiana. Right now all hazards appear possible including the potential for very large hail and a few tornadoes. A few strong tornadoes ( EF-2+) are possible.

While confidence is growing in a potential impactful day across our region, there are still a few uncertainties ahead of tomorrow. Like last Thursday, there is a chance of morning showers which may impact the location and severity of round 2. We will continue to watch trends and adjust forecasts as needed. Forecast revisions are expected as data and locations are fined tuned through tomorrow.

-TIMING-
After 1:00pm EDT into tomorrow night

-HAZARDS-
● Damaging winds 60-70mph
● Tornadoes (a few may be strong EF-2+)
● Large hail up to 2.00"

Another hazard will be very fast storm motions. Storms will potentially be moving very quickly tomorrow at speeds greater than 60mph! This means potentially less reaction time. Persons are encouraged to remain weather aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings.

NOTE: We make in-house forecasts and they are not intended to reflect SPC. We uses these risk levels to communicate different hazards in different locations.
