Article originally published by the National Weather Service in Louisville:
An upper level disturbance, moving from Iowa to Illinois this morning, will move into Indiana this afternoon. Combining this disturbance with a very moist atmosphere will result in severe thunderstorm development. The main threats today will be damaging winds, torrential rainfall, and isolated tornadoes. Large hail and frequent to excessive lightning[1] will be secondary threats. The Storm Prediction Center[2] in Norman, OK has placed the area under a slight risk for severe weather. The graphics below were produced there and show the relative risks for damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail.
