Severe Thunderstorm Warning Issued for Parts of Indiana and Michigan
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for parts of Indiana and Michigan, including LaPorte, Porter, Starke, Marshall, and Lake Counties. Damaging winds exceeding 60 mph (96.5 km/h) and destructive hail are the primary concerns, with a lower risk of isolated tornadoes. The warning is set to expire at 6:15 p.m. EDT, while a Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 8 p.m. EDT. High temperatures are expected to reach the upper 80s (around 31°C), with storms likely to intensify during the afternoon and evening due to high atmospheric energy from recent humid conditions. Earlier in the day, a Tornado Warning was issued for parts of southern St. Joseph, northern Marshall, Starke, and LaPorte Counties, but it expired at 4 p.m. EDT.
