As of 12:30PM today, the entirety of the southern half on Indiana is now within a Moderate Risk (level 4/5) of severe storms (red on the map)
Damaging winds in excess of 75mph, hail of at least 2” in diameter, and EF2+ tornadoes are all threats with these storms. Damaging wind in particular appears to be the biggest cause for concern.
The tornado threat will be the highest at the beginning of the event, whether that is pop up supercells or supercells embedded within the line of approaching storms. After the initial heightened tornado threat, the wind and hail threat increases.
For Indianapolis, I expect a tornado watch will be issued around 3 or 4PM, but likely no later than 5PM. 5PM is when the first storms will likely bubble up, around 6PM there will be wider spread coverage of thunderstorms, and the main line will push through the Indianapolis area between 6 and 8PM tonight.
I will likely go live tonight, I could go live anytime after about 5PM. Stay safe, stay tuned, and stay weather aware!
