Emergency officials: Severe weather possible Wednesday

We could see some bad weather on Wednesday as a storm system moves through the area.

According to the Bartholomew County Emergency Operations Center, our area is right on the line between having an enhanced risk of severe weather to the north and west portions, and a slight risk to the south and east.

The main threats will be Wednesday afternoon through late evening with the possibility of damaging winds with gusts of more than 60 mph possible, large hail along with isolated flooding and tornadoes possible.

Emergency officials say that you can prepare by identifying a safe spot at home and at work, should the weather turn severe.. A basement or storm shelter is best, but an interior room, stairway or hall without a window or door to the outside is also acceptable.

Heading into the weekend, our current warm and muggy conditions are expected to turn to possibly dangerous heat. High temperatures in the mid 90s are possible and the humidity could make that feel like more than 100 degrees outside.
