The northern three fourths of Indiana, as well as large parts of nearby states, have a slight risk of severe weather Wednesday, according to the Day 3 Convective Outlook that the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center (SPC) issued at 3:30 a.m. EDT today. The outlook indicates a potential for a relatively broad zone of at least isolated hail and or damaging winds Wednesday afternoon. Also, computer models do not agree on how the weather system will move across the area, so forecasters say a more substantial wind threat might become evident tomorrow and/or Wednesday.

It would be a good idea to keep an eye on the SPC’s convective outlooks tomorrow and Wednesday. The SPC’s next outlook for the period will be its Day 2 Convective Outlook early tomorrow morning.
