Tornado watches for parts of Central, Southern Indiana – Indianapolis News | Indiana Wetter | Indiana traffic

Indianapolis (Wish) – Tornado watches were exhibited overnight for parts of Central and South Indiana on Friday evening when a strong storm system approaches the state.

Two Tornado watches were issued for these Indiana counties: Benton, Clay, Daviess, Fountain, Gibson, Greene, Knox, Martin, Montgomery, Owen, Park, Pike, Posey, Putnam, Spencer, Sullivan, Tippecanoe, Vanders, Vanders, Vigber, Harm.

The Tornado clock, which is in the southwestern Indiana in Dark Red, is called a particularly dangerous situation. This means that the threat and the trust of significant tornados (EF-2+) are on the higher side. It is also the first time since November 2013 that part of the Hoosier state was under a PDS tornado clock.

Dozens of counties in Illinois are also part of the same Tornado watch.

The US Storm Prediction Center says that a few tornadoes are likely, together with scattered hail up to tennis mug size. It is probably also a widespread wind gust of up to 80 miles per hour.
