INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — A dangerous line of severe storms is forecast to push through Indiana and into Ohio Thursday night, with simulated radar valid at 11PM EDT Thursday June 11 showing a concentrated severe storm corridor sweeping through Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Muncie, and Bloomington carrying 60 to 70 mph wind gusts, large hail, and embedded tornadoes.
Simulated Radar Shows Intense Storm Line at 11PM EDT
The BAM Weather simulated radar snapshot valid 11PM EDT Thursday June 11 shows a well-organized severe storm line tracking southeast across Indiana. The heaviest storm activity is concentrated in a corridor from Chicago and Aurora southward through Indianapolis, Kokomo, Fort Wayne, and Muncie, with the line continuing to push toward Dayton and Cincinnati as it progresses through the night.
A cold front boundary marked on the graphic shows the storm line hugging the frontal zone as it sweeps through Indiana and into western Ohio during the late evening hours.
Three Hazards Confirmed for the Indiana Corridor Tonight
The storm line is explicitly forecast to produce 60 to 70 mph wind gusts, hail of 1 inch diameter or larger, and embedded tornadoes across the impacted Indiana communities. Damaging winds are the dominant hazard but all three threats are present simultaneously as the line moves through.
The late night timing of the storm arrival across Indianapolis and Fort Wayne increases risk significantly, as many residents will be asleep when the most intense activity pushes through.
Storm Line Continues Into Ohio Toward Dayton and Cincinnati
As the severe storm line exits Indiana it tracks into western Ohio, with Dayton, Cincinnati, and Lima all falling within the path of the system during the late night and early morning hours. Communities across the corridor from St. Louis eastward through Louisville and Evansville are also within the broader severe weather footprint Thursday night.
Residents across Indiana and western Ohio should keep weather alerts active overnight and have an indoor shelter plan ready before going to sleep Thursday evening.
