A tornado watch has been issued until 3 a.m. for most of west central Indiana, including Marion County. 

A system like this has the potential to be even more dangerous because it is dark and people are sleeping. We are encouraging you to have a few ways to get warnings and don't have your cell phone on silent or do not disturb.
