Central Indiana Braces for Windy, Stormy Week

Central Indiana is experiencing a week of volatile weather conditions. Today, strong winds are the primary concern, with a wind advisory in place due to gusts reaching up to 50 mph. As the day progresses, the risk of severe storms increases, particularly late today into tonight as a line of thunderstorms moves in from Illinois. The main threats include damaging winds, large hail, and even a potential tornado.

This unsettled pattern continues into the weekend, with ongoing chances for showers and thunderstorms on Friday. A stronger cold front will then move through the region on Saturday, bringing widespread showers, heavy rainfall, and the possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds.

The cold front will usher in a dramatic temperature shift. After the rain moves out Saturday night, much cooler and drier air will settle in, leading to a chilly Easter Sunday with temperatures struggling to reach the mid-50s.

Strong, gusty winds with a wind advisory in effect until 7 PM.

Is there a risk of severe weather?

Yes, there is a Level 1 risk for severe weather today into tonight, with damaging winds, large hail, and a possible tornado.

Central Indiana residents should prepare for a week of varied and potentially disruptive weather. Secure outdoor objects due to strong winds, stay informed about weather updates, and be prepared for possible power outages due to storms. The significant temperature drop over the weekend means adjusting wardrobes and preparing for cooler conditions.
