Severe Weather Tuesday

This update will focus on the potential for severe weather Tuesday across our area. A slight risk covers a portion of the western area of Indiana and to the south. This includes a large portion of Illinois.

Storms should move into Indiana late afternoon into the evening and cross the state during the overnight. Storms will likely be ahead of a weak cold front and most will be linear in nature. Some isolated cells could proceed the squall line.

Hail and wind in addition to lightning look to the the predominant threat with tornadoes always possible. Severe weather will be very dependent on dew points and clear skies across Illinois allowing afternoon heating providing enough energy to get storms going before they run into cooler evening weather in Indiana.
