INDIANAPOLIS — We're watching a couple of storm complexes that have been tracking through the Midwest. The initial storm cluster has continued to weaken as it has moved into northern Indiana. A secondary complex is bringing scattered storms into northern Illinois. The lingering boundary could spark pop-up storms later today though.
Outside of the occasional storm chance, the hot and humid pattern continues today with highs in the low 90s with peak heat indices up to 101.
TONIGHT:
Warm and muggy, warm lows in the mid 70s.
MONDAY:
Hottest/most humid day in this heat streak with highs in the mid 90s and heat indices up to 100-105 degrees. Staying mainly dry.
When will we see relief from this heat streak?
Tuesday will be a transitional day as we track a cold front moving in. This will likely bring a chance of storms into northern Indiana during the early morning hours. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the very northern extent of Indiana in a level 2 of 5 for the risk of severe storms as this initial complex moves in.
During the first part of the day, the line of storms will continue to push south. While widespread severe storms are not expected, any storm could reach a low-end severe potential with damaging wind gusts as the primary threat.
Areas south of the rain and storms will see another rather hot and humid day on Tuesday with highs in the low 90s -- rain-cooled air sets up farther north.
Scattered storms continue Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as the cold front continues to move though.
Behind the front, we'll see relief from the high heat and humidity as a more refreshing air mass takes over for Wednesday afternoon through the end of the work week.
