A turbulent afternoon with powerful storms could impact the Ohio Valley and parts of the Midwest. Damaging winds, lightning, and even a tornado are possible.

The WeatherRadar indicates storms pushing out of eastern Missouri this morning and sweeping across southern Illinois, northwestern Kentucky, and southern Indiana. St. Louis, Evansville, Indianapolis, Ind., and Louisville, Ky., may all experience these storms today.

Windy Thursday

A blustery day lies ahead across the region.

These early-season storms are fueled by instability caused by warm, humid air streaming northward from the Gulf. The WindRadar shows strong southwesterly winds reaching 35 mph across the South and Mid-South.

Severe storms will grow more frequent as winter fades and spring unfolds.
