DAMAGING HAIL IN SOUTHERN INDIANA - MORE STORMS ON THEIR WAY!

Good evening. Insane weather day in Indiana, with an incredible clash of air masses. In southern Indiana, temperatures today soared in the lower 80's - with a quick spike in the humidity. In Indianapolis, it struggled to pass 50! Farther north - stuck in the 40's today. Severe storms have developed on the edge of the warm/cold air, and many areas in southern Indiana have seen a horrifying hail storm this evening, with some car damages being reported.


Let me start by saying my drive home from dinner was horrible. Nothing worse than getting caught in baseball size hail and 50 mph winds! It felt like someone constantly throwing 100 baseballs a second at the car - NO KIDDING! Good news - the car had no damage, and I think that had to be God! I even recorded some of the scary moments on the drive home, and I will upload that video on facebook here in a bit. Check out these hail pics from the French Lick area....

TONIGHT'S OUTLOOK: Unfortunately, there are more showers & storms across the state line, and those will continue to move through southern Indiana overnight. The good news is that these storms appear to be weakening, but a few more warnings can't be ruled out. Flooding will also be a concern in areas that have already got torrential rains this evening. The tornado watch and severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect until 11pm. Here is a map of the latest watches/warnings, along with radars to track these storms...











I apologize for not keeping facebook updated earlier, as I was not able to update the warnings. If any new warnings are passed along, I will let you know. Have a great night.
