Much of western and southern Indiana continue to have a slight risk of severe weather between 12:30 p.m. EDT today and 8 a.m. EDT tomorrow, according to an updated “Day 1 Convective Outlook” that the National Weather Service (NWS) Storm Prediction Center issued at 12:34 p.m. EDT.

The main changes since the previous convective outlook are:

  1. Removal of the “significant” damaging wind risk.
  2. Expansion of the moderate risk area eastward to cover more of Mississippi and part of Alabama.

In most of the counties served by the northern Indiana NWS office, strong storms remain possible, with a heavy rain threat. But as of the time of this writing, the risk of a severe storm in that area is very small.

The SPC plans to update its convective outlook again by 4 p.m. EDT.
