Meanwhile, a Wind Advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m. EST for all 37 northern Indiana, southern lower Michigan and northwestern Ohio counties covered by the northern Indiana NWS office. Forecasters expect the strongest winds — 20 mph to 30 mph with gusts to 45 mph — to develop late this morning and persist through mid-afternoon.  Here’s a link to the latest statement on the Wind Advisory.

The good news is that the convective outlooks from the NWS Storm Prediction Center predict no severe thunderstorms in the Midwest for the next eight days.
