LIVE Doppler 13 Weather at 11 a.m. on July 31, 2024

hey testing One two3 mic check WEA testing one two3 okay okay okay sounds good thanks for joining us we've got a new severe weather threat over Central Indiana I'm 13 News meteorologist Matt standards we've got a complex of some nasty storms coming in from Illinois crossing the state line right now making a run at Central Indiana we wanted to give you the latest on the timing of when these storms could arrive and who has the best chance for some of these storms the weather pattern has been very unsettled we've got this Northwest flow over us and in the summer that causes a lot of problems a lot of pop-up showers and storms this is the latest complex there's a severe thunderstorm watch for Illinois not technically for Indiana mainly because we just have really one big cell that we're tracking but it is not losing steam as it heads towards Central Indiana and as we heat up it may be able to sustain itself as it tries to cross the Hooser State we want to give you a little bit a closer view of some of these storms as they approach the state line right now when you look off to uh the West right now you see those storms coming in just next to Vermillion County and headed into F Fane and Warren County as well that's where we have the severe thunderstorm warnings right now everything just west of Lafayette and Purdue this line of storms will continue to track about 30 m per hour to the east across Central Indiana but there's kind of a two different parts of this storm there's just a lot of heavy rain and some Thunder and then there's a pocket of really heavy rain with intense lightning and thunder and stronger Gusty winds that is the southern side of the cell whenever you see a lot of lightning on the radar that's a sign that you've got a lot of nasty storms and that's where the storm is probably the strongest so here in the Southern Park coming right towards vermillian County and eventually Park County that's is where we're going to be tracking this line and right now it's moving almost due east so that's going to come right towards Indianapolis over the next couple of hours farther to the north you go to the north side of 74 coming into Benton County and then as you head towards Warren County eventually typ a canoe Montgomery counties this is where we're watching just a lot of heavy rain the tech technically there is a severe thunderstorm warning for the northern half however it is dying out on this Northern side don't be surprised if we just start getting warnings for this cell and they kind of March like this towards the east over time but a lot of heavy rain coming in towards 65 and 74 Lafayette you're the next ones ahead for some of these storm so let's go ahead and get into the weeds here I want to show you the latest timing so this thing is moving about 30 miles per hour uh to the east right now and so if we put the latest track with Future Track 13 with the radar let's go ahead and time this out about 30 m hour this is kind of the whole complex what we'll do is we'll take a look at the whole complex and then we'll just take a look at the severe part which has the the main line of the Gusty wind so as we time this out for you I'm going to put this just a little bit farther out let's go over the next let's say two hours or so maybe you can go a little bit farther Let's do let's say about 2 and 1 half hours so when you're looking at this you'll see a couple of the these Town names so for Lafayette about 40 minutes from now so as we get close to 11:40 we'll be watching these storms come in for the Indianapolis area this is really about two two and a half hours out so we've got a ways to go so far this thing is not really weakening as it moves over time I'll move this over just to the side maybe see a little bit better so west side west suburbs Brownsburg about uh 2 hours from now uh same thing for Danville Avon planfield Hendricks County you'll probably the first one to get this coming in when we're talking about the donut around Indianapolis so Boon County henders County and then Morgan County will be getting it within about two hours so let's say about 1:00 these storms start to arrive but it's really the southern portion which is going to head right towards putham County and then Hendricks County so look up Avon Brownsburg and planfield to Maran County once you get to downtown Indianapolis or within let's say about 10 minutes of the skyscrapers this is going to be about let's say about 115 to 1 12 12 we're just over 2 hours from coming out towards Indianapolis we'll have to also watch towards Johnson County cuz the thing with these storms sometimes they'll move due east and then they'll start to drop off to the South just a little bit so Johnson County we're talking about Greenwood here within about uh 1:30 we'll be talking about timeline of this storm coming in so we've got a couple hours to go but with this pocket of wind these 60 mph winds you're going to want to make sure that you've got things ready uh to go with the wind you know if you got some patio furniture that you just put out you may just want to kind of keep it secured for the rest of the week because we're going to be watching these on andof scattered storm chances the next couple of days as well we've got more complexes tomorrow and probably finishing out on Friday maybe by the weekend we'll get some drier weather get high pressure back in here so it's not so stormy but some of us have picked up a lot of water the past couple of days while others we haven't really gotten much but this is the first complex so what we're going to be watching is this thing comes in towards Indianapolis 2 2 and 1 half hours from now so let's say 1 to 2:00 good window for coming in towards indie if you live on the east side or northeast side let's say fisers to McCordsville South towards the Post Road area Lawrence and then even Southeast towards Shelbyville even Hancock County once you get into Greenfield this will be about 2 o'cl for us so we still got a couple hours to go but we will be watching this line as it moves East as it comes in East what it's going to do is it may break up some of the Northern parts but this cell is probably going to stay pretty strong we have not noticed any really decrease in the lightning you're looking at that lightning counter over time uh we're talking about 60 to 70 lightning strikes uh every about 15 minutes or so so pretty good sell here you see it start closer to 100 just because we've had some lightning off towards the West that's getting kind of cut off just a little bit but really this pocket is still pretty healthy and it's chugging along just fine towards Indianapolis so this is what we're watching now once it arrives it could be a little bit more broken this cell will probably be strong other parts will be a little bit broken but that's when the forecast gets kind of wonky once we break up these cells and they get a little bit of space in between little new boundaries will start to form because where it's raining it will cool off you guys know right now it's warm and sticky when you get a thunderstorm to come in it'll cool you off but then maybe your neighbors the town next door may not cool off you get these boundaries to form up between cool spots and hot spots when that happens you can fire up more thunderstorms so this is not the only complex we're thinking or talking about once it pushes on through we're going to turn into an unsettled weather environment where we get these popups here and there for the rest of the day there might be kind of a concentration South of Indianapolis that's just where the biggest cell is coming in is probably going to be the biggest disruptor so as it comes towards Indie and to the South we could start to see more popup showers and storms farther south of Indianapolis later this afternoon in evening Angeline will be here to track these storms as they come in on and off throughout the day it's not going to storm all day and not everyone's going to get rain today everything's going to be a little bit different for everyone in terms of what you actually experience this is kind of tropical weather that we're dealing with when these do points are well into the saves now let's just talk about the the actual severe part of the storm so this is kind of a whole timeline of some rain I mean we're even getting some rain towards caramel and fisers we'll get some of this rain maybe not as severe as this part is this lightning part this really intense part skies are probably going to get really dark here just in a moment for Vermillion and park counties but then putam Hendrick County and right in Marian Johnson and then Morgan County that's what we're probably watching the most farther east you guys thinking Richmond let's say Rushville Shelbyville even Greensburg we'll have to watch this thing a little bit this thing is probably still at least four hours away a lot of things can change over the next four hours so we'll continue to give you updates throughout the day and give more updates for Eastern Indiana a little bit more kind of uh uncertain right now once you get east of Indie but popup storm chances are likely mainly after about 3:00 so we still got some time still enjoy the sunshine for a while but that Sunshine is really baking us right now we are heating up our heat index value May reach over a 100 degrees later today you may want a good sip of water but we don't want the severe weather threat uh with that as it comes in so now let's just we'll do a new track let's just talk about the cell that's coming in right now on the state line Vermillion County headed into Park County and let's time this out 30 miles hour and let me update we'll make this a little bit longer it wants the default to just 30 minutes but this is we want to give you a quick long range update so we got to make some manual changes on the fly so what we'll do is add in about three hours worth here we go so you can see some of the times I'll step off to the side for a second because I know I'm blocking the storm for you guys my bad so planfield two hours downtown Indianapolis just about two hours from now give or take let's say about 2:00 2:15 and then Greenwood Franklin Columbus so you get even farther south Johnson County and then headed into parts of Bartholomew and Brown County as well Nashville you'll be including that too about uh two and a half hours two and a half hours from now this is where the strongest storm is likely to be over time now let's take a clier looks at what else is going on the atmosphere so our newscast are a little bit different because the Olympics are going on so we wanted to hop on here from a digital side and give you some updates of what we're thinking we'll have more digital updates throughout the day we just want to let you know hey storm coming in crossing the state line right now going to create some unsettled weather throughout much of the middle part of the day today and could even spark some more cells later today so let's walk through a couple different things uh for the rest of the afternoon and evening we do have an impact today need to stay weather aware weather's going to be something that could help change your plans later today where the strongest storms develop generally there are two time periods to watch now till 4:00 is where we have this complex coming in from from Central Illinois mainly Indianapolis to the west and south so Hendrick County Brown County bartholomy County Johnson County Morgan County putham County that's where we're watching for some of the biggest impacts you go north of India you're probably going to get some scattered rain at least for some of us it that northern part may break up a little bit more it's not as strong the southern part is what could can keep on chugging along just like a train it's hard to stop a train as it's coming in so Northern side maybe a little bit tough cooko Peru uh Muny even Maran and then Carmel Northbound Westfield we could be in Noblesville maybe a little bit more scattered but now till 4:00 watch out for some unsettled weather especially South mity then we pick up another time zone another time period 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. the reason why as this complex eventually Fades you'll pop up new boundaries you'll pop up new cells probably closest to the bigger storm that's out there that bigger storm headed towards Greenwood and Franklin and indie and even Martinsville Monrovia you'll be included on that where that parks and sets up other boundaries where we could pop up more storms so 6 to 11:00 mainly anywhere can get one but The Highest Potential does seem to be about I70 to the South so watch out later today but what we're expecting is on andof Storms it's not going to storm all day long it's not going to rain all day long in fact a lot of times you're going to have some sunshine and then uh another storm could try to roll on through but the biggest impact with some of these storms will be some of the Gusty wind so we've got a couple different threats right when we talk about severe weather we've got wind we've got hail got even tornado threats when we're lining things up for today he uh winds up here wind's the highest threat we've got some 60 m per hour winds coming into Vermillion County headed to Park County next So eventually putham County you'll be on the lookout you're not under severe thunderstorm warning right now but you may be when's the highest threat then you go down here towards the low category there is a low tornado threat an even lower hail threat it's mainly wind and there could be some rotation some of these storms right now when we're looking at these storms they don't really have much rotation mainly just a lot of wind coming through uh into Western Indiana so wins are our primary threat that everyone could get even those cells that we had Monday with some of the rotations on them of course we had that tornado there in Madison County technically started in Hamilton there were a lot of wind for other folks too so everyone gets a lot of wind potentially but then there could be some rotation at times but when's the primary threat what we just need to be ready is just keep an eye on the radar we're going to have updates throughout the day to keep you weather aware and to show you where the storms are heading where they're going to be the worst and what we can expect probably over the next couple of hours very unsettled weather environment so kind of like a domino effect we have to kind of see how things happen in the next couple of hours to help forecast the next and just so on so weather Weare today unsettled that's the story when you look at our temperatures we've really warmed up it's not even lunchtime yet unless you do an early lunch we've got temperatures crossing right next to the 80° Mark when you look off to the north and west though it's a little bit cool cooler as you go into parts of Illinois they've cooled off because of the rain and here's the thing where you've got the difference between cooler air and warmer air you can pop up more cells and that's what's going to make later this afternoon in evening that second time window a little bit more complicated but we'll probably get the biggest difference in boundaries in Southern and Central Indiana right about in here and that's where we're probably going to expecting more storms but we are warming up it is humid it is sticky and that's why we have the severe threat we have everything in place the just stream is now starting to line overs too so you got the bottom part of the atmosphere we're working on the top right now and so that's what we're going to be watching level two severe risk from Maran All the Way South to Evansville about 70% of the state is under a level two severe risk today out of five so still on the lower side but generally this yellow zone is the threat where the highest potential of severe storms will be you go farther north and east towards Fort Wayne that chance cuts off mainly because the J stream's right here once you get out of the jream to the north and east storm should be a little bit weaker the primary threat though will be the severe wind in this yellow zone you see just a little bit higher on uh on this color here we're going to be watching The Highest Potential for some 60 to 70 mile per hour winds from a tornado risk standpoint we're in the lowest category but it's not zero there could be some cells later this evening especially that are sitting by themselves and may try to spin just a little bit and so that's why we have this low threat a very low threat but not Zero from any app apis All the Way South to Bloomington and Columbus make sure you're weather aware we'll monitor each cell as it moves and forms over Central Indiana let's walk through a timeline right now we've got storms on the state line as they move eastbound they're likely to probably fade a little bit more in the top the southern part though could be a little bit stronger now when it comes to a lot of these computer simulations they can be tough in an environment like this so far this cell has not weakened we'll have to see if it does but right now we do think it's going to be able to come in I don't think we're I think it's underestimating how much heat that we're building right now to help support some of these storms so as these come in watch out for some of the strongest storms from Indie to the South this is through about 3 4:00 but then it should eventually get out of here so it's really from now to 4m. we watch the scattered storm chance because of the cell coming in from Illinois we might take a little bit of a break but here's the thing once we've moved that first cell out we've got some places that have heated up some places that have cooled down with some clouds those differences can cause a really big forecasting headache and you pop up more scattered showers and storms later into the day this is about 8:30 and once again this is just a simulation we're generally thinking from Indianapolis to the South more storms could develop now they'll hop on that jet stream and they'll move South and East over time headed towards Cincinnati headed towards Louisville the farther north you go we'll watch but we may be a little bit drier from caramel North but from Greenwood South that's where we have the highest potential later this evening could be some nasty storms until about 11:00 after that we really start to clean up the radar and get quieter before more storms potentially try to fire uh tomorrow maybe even tomorrow morning that's something Chuck and Lindsay will be watching for you guys in the morning but let's go back to the radar and then we'll wrap things up we're going to have more updates throughout the afternoon it's still morning right now but once we get past lunchtime into the afternoon we're going to be watching this cell it's really this part of the storm that is the strongest they're probably going to have to cut off this morning and maybe add a little bit more here towards the South Side kind of filling in on the Southside even look a little bit closer in fact let's let's uh let's zoom in all right and I'm going to clear off the timeline so we're looking here's Park County and there's Vermillion County we're filled up Vermillion County right now so I'm Tero Northbound I'm 41 coming to Highland Rockville and then we're just going to keep on going right into Danville and Avon on us36 is just going to chug along right into putham County and then Hendricks County and then then to Indianapolis but here's that part of the storm you go Northbound we still technically have a warning there for uh Attica even Western portions of typic canoe County but this is really weakened over time you still got some heavy rain but when we're looking at the wind it is most intense there towards the South right in here right in here as we're watching watching more of that wind as it comes towards towards Rockville probably a nasty shelf cloud on this storm too you might even be able to see it even from about Avon from Indie it's a little bit tough unless you're on one top of the skyscrapers looking out towards the West probably see some dark clouds off in the distance a little bit hazy out there because it's summer a little bit warm and humid but there's the South moving East got some lightning with it it does look like over the past couple of stands we've decreased our lightning which lightning is a good indicator of the health of a storm get more lightning stronger storm when the lightning starts to taper off it is starting to weaken so what we've noticed is it's kind of expanding in its size you see some cells growing on the south side but the lightning does seem to have trickled off just a little bit still a healthy Storm still got up to about 60 mile prior winds so something that we be looking out for in Green Castle and then eventually maybe even the north side of Brazil headed into Monrovia moresville Danville and then eventually Avon and Brownsburg we'll do one more timing and then we'll kind of hop off here and we'll have more updates throughout the rest of the middle part of the day so I'll do one more timing let's do actually we'll do two more timings we'll do one long one just talking about rain and thunder chances because not everyone's going to get something severe but many of us are going to pick up on a little bit of water so we'll time it out about 30 minutes and let's expand this out over the next 2 to 3 hours so we're looking here uh Brazil here in about 20 minutes Crawfordsville here in about uh I'm going to put the pause it keeps changing there you go all right so Crawfordsville uh 21 minutes I'll up to the side Green Castle about 40 minutes Lebanon just about an hour from now cooko about an hour you probably up to the north you won't be as strong it'll get some heavy downpours and uh maybe a little bit of wind but mainly just good thunderstorm good summertime thunderstorm but the the main part will be more towards Brazil and Green Castle Green Castle about 40 minutes Brownsburg you can see that timing just about 80 minutes from now so uh let's say just after about one o'clock or so one o'clock coming into zville and planfield and Tipton as well I think I can actually I'm gonna change something really quick we're gonna do there we go Mak can actually the times so Green Castle about two cooko about 2:30ish Danville 23 uh 12:30 Brownsburg about 12:30 zionville getting closer to that 1:00 time frame planfield about 1:00 and Indianapolis will be included on that if I can change this to to switch it there we go so Indianapolis 1:00 Fishers 110 no bville Ru off about 115 gist about 115 116 so we got some time but watch out we've got scattered showers and thunderstorms on the way we'll do one more timing and this is just the kind of the the meat of the cell we're going to do the southern portion that has lightning on it that will be the greatest potential for a little bit of wind over the next couple of hours we'll expand this out okay so Bloomington we could get clipped Bloomington may be a little far south but we'll we'll watch Bloomington chance close to about 1 o00 West Side Speedway 122 Butler about 130 Indianapolis close to downtown let's say 115 to 130 stay weather aware skies are going to get a little bit darker off towards the West we've got a lot of sunshine right now that's going to change as this complex comes in from Illinois stirs up the atmosphere and could spark more showers and thunderstorms later today we're going to have several updates keep you weather aware showing you the weather impact of what we could expect throughout the rest of your Wednesday make sure you keep it here keep it local as always we'll keep you advised
