The Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been shaved back a tad. Marion County is now dropped from the watch. The counties in yellow still indicate that the watch remains until 2am. The southeastern counties until 6am. Forecast 8 Vipir shows the tail end of the line of storms, sitting north of Indianapolis. This line is slowly sagging south and east. Heavy rain is the main threat at this time with flash flood warnings in northern Indiana until daybreak. About 2″ to 3″ of rain has fallen in those locations, or more.
The Forecast 8 Team will have a live broadcast on WISH-TV beginning at 1:37am. Join Robb Ellis, Randy Ollis, and Pamela Gardner as they discuss the current severe weather threat.

Logansport is getting a downpour now with a thunderstorm moving through. Not severe, but it could strengthen quickly. A line of thunderstorms is still sitting in northern Indiana. This will slowly creep southeast, bringing the severe weather threat into the WISH-TV viewing area. Stay tuned for updates. A PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) Severe T-storm Watch is in effect until 2am.

The Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been extended south to include Indianapolis, until 2am. This is still a PDS watch-meaning a particularly dangerous situation. Widespread damaging winds are likely…most likely associated with a derecho as this system moves through tonight. Wind gusts of 80 mph or greater. Large hail of 2″ in diameter or more, and isolated tornadoes are additional threats. Secure lawn furniture, bring in anything that could get picked up by the wind, as it could become a hazard. Charge cell phones, laptops, etc. now before the storms move through-there could be power outages. Stay tuned to WISH-TV for further updates.
June 12th, 2013 at 8:16 pm by Pamela Gardner under Weather
Severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings are in effect all across northern Indiana. The individual storm cells are moving east, while the whole system is moving southeast. There are other storms popping up just west of Lafayette and Crawfordsville. We will monitor these closely…with the environment they are moving into, they could become severe quickly.
