DOWNGRADED FROM YESTERDAY

We will see a chance for scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening as a cold front moves east/southeast across the state. Storms are most likely to develop during the afternoon hours as temperatures and humidity increase, with the greatest potential for stronger storms across northern and central Indiana. The main threats will be damaging wind gusts and hail, with a brief tornado possible but not the primary concern. Storms may then organize into clusters and become more widespread as they move eastward. The severe threat should decrease fairly quickly this evening as temperatures cool and storms move away from the available moisture and instability.

Storms are expected to develop ahead of a cold front tomorrow (Wednesday) with the main risks being damaging winds and l...

Storms are expected to develop ahead of a cold front tomorrow (Wednesday) with the main risks being damaging winds and large hail. Some storms may become supercells, and with those there will be a chance of an isolated tornado or two.

The SPC has parts of Northwest Indiana in a level 2 slight risk for severe weather today. The main risk is damaging winds and small hail. Much like the SPC, I don't see any tornado threat for our area. I will be heading to Illinois in a little while for a low end tornado threat.

LONG POST WARNING

As someone who grew up in Portage, IN and a current resident of Hobart, Northwest Indiana is my home. The majority of my family and friends live here, and it pains me to see the absolute destruction Tuesday's derecho has brought to our communities.

I'm trying to build this page into a reliable source for severe weather information across Northwest Indiana. When storms threaten our area, I will always try to be out there tracking, documenting, and sharing timely information specific to our communities. Though I can't always do so, I will always try to!

This isn't about views, popularity, or money to me. It's about pursuing a passion of mine while keeping people informed and prepared when severe weather impacts our area!

Tuesday's derecho was a perfect example of how I tried to give everyone a heads up on what was coming. At 7:40am I made a post of what we wanted to keep our eyes on as it was developing in Iowa, this was hours before the event. Then later as it approached our area, I made another post at 10:47am, 15-20 minutes before it crossed state line urging people to seek shelter.

So please, if you live in Northwest Indiana, please follow this page and share it with your friends and family! I will always try my best to keep the region updated with timely information on severe weather events! As most of you already know, I also work for the Indiana Weather Network and am frequently livestreaming on there. I chase all over the Midwest, but do prefer to stay closer to home when storms are going to impact our area.
