It's a 9 First Warning Weather Alert Day. There is the potential for severe storms early this afternoon and into the evening rush. Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern.
Tuesday morning starts dry with a mostly cloudy sky. Temperatures warm to 80 degrees by the early afternoon. Winds will be breezy from the southwest at 15 to 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph.
Showers and storms will develop to our west in Central Indiana by the late morning hours. This line of storms will then push east into the Tri-State in the early afternoon hours. A bowing segment of storms is possible, and that is generally a scenario in which damaging wind gusts develop. There's also the chance we could see some large hail and an isolated tornado, but winds are the top focus this afternoon.
When it comes to timing, the majority of the weather models place the storms over our area from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. There are a few outliers that have storms starting a little later and impacting the Tri-State from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Either way, stay weather-aware; our team will closely monitor the storms this afternoon.
The forecast turns dry overnight, and we'll cool to 59 degrees under a partly cloudy sky.
Wednesday will be mostly cloudy and warm, with a high of 74 degrees. There's a small chance of rain during the day, but the best chance for showers and storms is after 6 p.m.
