SCATTERED STORMS THIS EVENING (Tues, 6/16) | While there is a severe weather risk tomorrow to address, for now I did want to put this evening's cold front on your radar!

Between approximately 5-8p a line of thunderstorms is expected to sweep through, and in spite of low instability/moisture content there could be enough spin for a brief tornado.

There isn't really ONE place where that is more likely - the entire region is under a small, but non-zero risk of weak/brief tornado formation and/or strong wind gusts before the front makes it through.

Wednesday is the more interesting set up, and I am going to wait a little bit to discuss it (the next NOAA NWS Storm Prediction Center center update is going to be around 1:30p ET).

Essentially, the *potential* is there for a highly impactful severe weather event, especially across NW Indiana. However, there could also be a lot to overcome atmospherically for the worst of this system to impact us verbatim given the potential for a round of midday rain/cloud cover that will limit both heating and instability.

More on that soon!
