06/12/2026

A drier and seasonable airmass will settle into the region today into Saturday. A cold front will bring a chance for precipitation Sunday and lead to cooler temperatures heading into next week.

06/12/2026

[8:25 PM] We are carefully monitoring the approach of the storms upstream from Illinois and Indiana. We expect that, despite a gradual weakening as they move into the local area, that strong/severe wind will still be possible, especially in east-central Indiana and west-central Ohio around midnight. More updates to follow.

06/11/2026

A cold front will approach the area late tonight and cross the region early Friday. While storms should be weakening as they approach the area tonight, there is some possibility that a few could still have strong to damaging winds.

06/11/2026

[8:40 PM] The line of thunderstorms moving through northern Indiana has mostly weakened, with a few storms and an outflow boundary moving Mercer, Darke, and Auglaize counties within the next hour. Due to the outflow, some gusty winds are expected even if storms do not occur.

Sheriff Sanders is pleased to introduce Project Lifesaver International to the citizens of Highland County.
Project Lifesaver International is a premier international search-and-rescue program operated by public safety agencies to assist at-risk individuals who may wander or elope due to autism, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other cognitive conditions. The program's primary mission is to provide a rapid response that helps save lives and reduce the risk of injury.
To bring this valuable service to Highland County, five deputies from the Highland County Sheriff's Office recently completed specialized training with a Project Lifesaver International instructor and are now certified search specialists.
Families who have a loved one who may benefit from this program are encouraged to learn more about enrollment. For additional information or to enroll a participant, please get in touch with Chief Deputy Jennifer Schinkal by email at [email protected] or by phone at (937) 840-6237.
If you have a loved one in the program and they are missing, please call 911 immediately; do not call the number provided for information. Our dispatchers are trained to handle a 911 call regarding a missing person in the program.
The Highland County Sheriff's Office is proud to offer this important resource and remains committed to enhancing the safety and well-being of our community.

Some storms may develop this afternoon into this evening. Damaging wind will be the primary threat. The marginal risk has been expanded to include the entire area for today.

06/07/2026

A weak front will sag southward into the area today. This will be the focus for shower and thunderstorm development this afternoon. Temperatures will be a little warmer than yesterday.
