5-28-19 Indiana: Recapping Monday’s severe event + targeting additional storms through mid-week. N.

Video:

Storm reports yesterday: 13 tornado reports across the state yesterday.  60 tornado reports across the country.  It was a very busy evening.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to those dealing with damage left behind from these storms.  

Rainfall over the past 72 hours:

A boundary will spark a narrow corridor of scattered storms this afternoon north of I-70 after 1pm through 7pm.  Pockets of hail, wind, and a spin-up tornado is possible.  

Late tonight, we track a complex of complex of storms in NW Illinois that will dive into the state Wednesday morning.  This brings a severe risk with strong winds and torrential rain.  ‘

We’ll catch a break to re-fuel the atmosphere for more scattered storms late Wednesday.  Again, we’ll have an environment favorable for any storms to be strong to severe.  We’ll see a wave move in from the southwest Thursday morning expected to bring more widespread rain, but not as much of a severe threat with this.  Total rain through Thursday: Heaviest along/north of I-70.

Drier and cooler air will work in Thursday night-Friday night, leading to a less active period of weather.  Another front will work in Saturday bringing our next threat for scattered storms.
