…STRONG STORM SYSTEM TO BRING A ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER TO THE
REGION TONIGHT…

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND CENTRAL
KENTUCKY TONIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF THE FRONT…ALONG WITH INSTABILITY

TO DEVELOP. THE LINE OF INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL SURGE EASTWARD
THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT.

WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
HOWEVER…GIVEN THE STRONG WIND FIELDS…THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY
OF TORNADOES AS WELL. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS INDICATED
THAT HERE IS A RISK OF STRONG TORNADOES GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST
OF INTERSTATE 65.

HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT WILL BE A LESSER THREAT.
