It's been a miserably hot and muggy afternoon as heat indices eclipsed 100° in many areas. Thus far, storms have stayed north and east of Indianapolis...with a confirmed tornado damage in northeastern Jay County near Bryant, Indiana....mainly along State Road 67 from Bryant east to the Ohio state line.
Now we wait and watch for new storm initiation...which frankly may take several hours to occur. There is a LOT of "potential" energy in the atmosphere, but right now there is no significant trigger or lifting mechanism to ignite storms. However, once storms do develop (somewhere between 8-9 p.m. and midnight) they will go big quick and proficient heavy rain-producing storms in addition to the risk of significant (75+ mph) wind gusts with swaths of damage.
Please remain Weather Aware, monitor radar, have a way to get watches/warnings, and don't drive through water-covered roadways.
