South Bend, IN – A warm and breezy weekend across Northern Indiana is setting the stage for potentially severe thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon, prompting weather officials to issue an alert for the region.
According to the US National Weather Service Northern Indiana, scattered showers are possible later today and tonight, with highs ranging from 65 to 72 degrees. Lows will stay mild overnight, hovering between 55 and 59 degrees, as breezy conditions continue.
The primary concern arrives Sunday, when morning showers and storms will give way to stronger, more widespread thunderstorms by the afternoon and evening.
