Storms by 9 p.m.

Storms by 2 a.m. Thursday
The main threats through 5 a.m. will be damaging wind gusts, large hail and isolated tornadoes.
Storms are expected to weaken as they move farther east, especially east of Interstate 75. However, the Storm Prediction Center continues to place much of our area in an enhanced risk across southeast Indiana and a slight risk for severe weather for the rest of the area.
The strongest storms today are expected to stay west of the Tri-State. Our focus will be on how well those storms hold together as they move into the area overnight.
Storms should arrive as a broken line, meaning some communities may see very little activity while others could experience multiple rounds of storms. Heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding will also be possible where storms repeatedly move over the same areas.
