National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
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.
