Temperatures will start mild in the 60s for much of Central Indiana, then warm further into the upper 60s and perhaps lower 70s again this afternoon.
This will set the stage for possibly near record temps again. In addition to the severe weather potential, gusty winds are expected to develop this evening ahead of a cold front, with winds gusting at times greater than 35 mph this evening through early Wednesday morning.
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TONIGHT
Severe storms are possible this evening and overnight.
Threats include large hail, damaging winds, heavy rain, and possible tornadoes.
