This hazardous weather outlook is for central Indiana.
A strong low pressure storm system will cause periodic numerous showers and thunderstorms over central Indiana Friday and Friday evening. The threat for severe storms will increase during the late afternoon and evening hours along and ahead of an approaching cold front. Locally damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes are possible with the most intense cells, along with heavy rain, cloud-to-ground lightning, and some hail. The greatest hazards at this time may occur over western counties of central Indiana. After a cold front and thunderstorms pass by the area Friday night, west to southwest surface winds will become quite gusty overnight Friday night and Saturday. Winds will gust to 40 to 50 mph at times, which could present a hazard for high profile vehicles and loose objects, and could result in some tree limbs being downed. Another round of thunderstorms is expected sometime Tuesday and/or Wednesday as another weather system approaches, with some additional stronger thunderstorms again possible during that time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may well be needed Friday afternoon and evening for potential strong to severe thunderstorms. && More information, along with other weather, hydrological and climate information can be found at http://weather.gov/ind
