Forecasters expect isolated strong to severe storms Tuesday afternoon and evening. The strongest storms might include a few damaging wind gusts and large hail.

In IMO SKYWARN quadrant two, the slight risk area includes the southern third of Allen County (Ind.), all of Huntington, Wells, Adams, Blackford and Jay Counties, and southwestern Van Wert County.

We’ll get a more detailed look at the risk, including the probabilities of tornadoes, damaging straight-line winds and large hail, when the SPC issues its first “Day 1 Convective Outlook” for tomorrow, at about 2 a.m. EDT.
