Firefighter electrocuted, power still out after 80-mph storm hits Central Indiana
About 62,000 remained without power across Indiana June 19, according to AES Indiana and Duke outage maps, after parts of the state were hit with winds up to 80 mph the evening before. A 29-year-old Indianapolis firefighter was hospitalized after being electrocuted and falling about 12 feet while responding to a home with downed power lines and a tree limb on fire, according to a press release. He is now in stable condition. The line of powerful storms also caused nearly 300 buildings to be damaged and 60-mph-plus winds throughout Midwestern states, according to the National Weather Service of Indianapolis. No tornados have been confirmed. Meteorologist Aaron Updike said that could change as more damage reports come in today. Tippecanoe County is being investigated for a possible tornado, he said. Temperatures will reach the low to mid-90s the rest of the week. Updike encouraged those working outside to focus on heat safety, such as by taking breaks inside or under shade. Weather forecast: Next week's heat wave could feel as hot as 105 degrees in Indianapolis

Stormy days ahead as 2 weather systems 'park' above Indianapolis: the latest forecast
Thunderstorms will roll through Indianapolis beginning in the evening of June 4, the National Weather Service predicts. Stormy weather is expected to stick around until at least the morning of June 7, when the sun will return for a calmer weekend. The dreary days ahead are thanks to the collision of two weather systems over the Midwest. A northern cold front will meet a southern warm front, fizzling out with a prolonged series of storms. "The front is going to just sit over our area for a few days, which is why we've got multiple days of rain and thunderstorms," NWS meteorologist Kacie Fuson said. While a few isolated storms might cause dangerous high winds through the end of this week, flooding from excessive rainfall is the primary concern, according to the NWS. There's a marginal possibility that the thunderstorms will be severe. The stormy days will follow a cluster of hot, sunny days made hazy by wildfire smoke drifting over from Canada. The sun is expected to return this weekend once the colliding fronts move out of the area. But don't break out your lawn chairs just yet: a separate weather system will bring another round of storms next week, Fuson said. 🌥️/ ⛈️ Wednesday: Warm and hazy during the day, with temperatures as high as 87 degrees. Winds between about 10 and 15 mph and gusts as high as 28 mph. Scattered storms will develop and then become widespread overnight. ⛈️ Wednesday night: Thunderstorms and showers likely before 2 a.m., with another possible thunderstorm after 4 a.m. The chance of precipitation is 60%. 🌧️/⛈️Thursday: Showers with a high of 79 degrees. Thunderstorms are possible throughout the day. The chance of precipitation is 80%. ⛈️ Thursday night: Showers and thunderstorms. The chance of precipitation is 50%. ⛈️ Friday: Rainy with severe thunderstorms marginally possible after 2 p.m. A high temperature of 79 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 60%. ⛈️ Friday night: A chance of thunderstorms and showers between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. The chance of precipitation is 60%. 🌤️/⛈️ Saturday: Mostly sunny with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Temperatures will reach around 78 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 30%. ☀️/⛈️ Saturday night: Mostly clear, with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8 p.m. Temperatures will cool to around 58 degrees. ☀️/ 🌧️Sunday: Sunny skies with a high temperature of 81 degrees.

National Weather Service predicts strong storms, days of rain ahead of mild race weekend
Strong thunderstorms are expected to hit Indianapolis during the afternoon and evening of May 20. The possibility of a tornado "cannot be ruled out," according to the National Weather Service. Rain showers will be constant through the afternoon. Isolated storms are possible before then, but forecasters don't expect widespread storms until about 4 p.m. High winds are the most pressing threat. Winds within storms could reach up to 50 mph, and gusts throughout the day will be more moderate, about 20 to 25 mph. Flooding and hail are also possible. Storms will end around 2 a.m. on May 21. Rain will continue to fall all day May 21 and May 22, but storms aren't predicted. Forecasters are keeping an especially close eye on the flooding risk because of the steady rain, according to NWS meteorologist Earl Breon. Drivers should be mindful of flooding risk along their commutes. "It's not uncommon for one place to get lighter amounts of precipitation and a place next door to experience flash flooding in a situation like this," Breon said. The sun will come back out on May 23. Race weekend so far looks calm and temperate, with only a 30% chance of rain on May 25. 🚨 Indiana Weather Alerts: Warnings, Watches and Advisories. ⚡ Indiana power outage map: How to check your status. 💻 Internet outages: How to track them.

Severe storms could bring tornadoes, egg-sized hail on May 16. Here's the latest forecast
The National Weather Service has "good confidence" that strong storms will move into Indiana at around 5 p.m. on May 16. Tornadoes are possible, with winds between 60 and 80 mph. Hail about 2 inches wide — roughly the size of an egg — is also possible. The strongest weather will hit between 5-11 p.m. Severe storm risk is highest in southern Indiana, including Bloomington, Terre Haute and Evansville. Storms will follow an otherwise bright and sunny May 16. Indianapolis' temperatures could peak as high as 88 degrees. Skies will be clear during the day, but storm clouds will rapidly form in the late afternoon and early evening. That's because the high temperatures will weaken the layer of air that usually prevents severe storms. "It's kind of like if you shake up a Coke bottle," NWS meteorologist Aaron Updike said. "It's all fine if you keep the cap on, but as you start to warm near the surface, it starts to take the cap off." It's important to have multiple ways to receive severe weather warnings, especially if you're outside enjoying the summery day. Temperatures will drop to around 60 degrees during the storms, ushering in an otherwise mild weekend. May 17 will be 71 degrees and sunny, and May 18 will be 76 degrees and sunny. There's a slight chance of showers overnight on May 18, but no severe weather is predicted. 🚨 Indiana Weather Alerts: Warnings, Watches and Advisories. ⚡ Indiana power outage map: How to check your status. 🚫 What you should and shouldn't do when the power is out.
