South Bend, Indiana – Scattered thunderstorms could bring damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph across northern Indiana Monday afternoon, with the highest risk stretching from La Porte to Warsaw through 9 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana, areas south of U.S. Route 24 may see light rain this morning, but storms are expected to redevelop later today. A marginal risk for severe weather remains in effect for much of the region, including South Bend, Plymouth, and Angola. The primary hazards include isolated strong wind gusts and hail up to half an inch in diameter.
Storm development is most likely between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET, especially across the marginal risk zone. While not widespread, some storms could intensify rapidly. Residents should secure loose outdoor items and remain weather-aware throughout the afternoon.
Drivers on US 30, I-69, and US 20 should prepare for sudden visibility drops and brief road ponding. If thunder roars, head indoors—lightning remains a danger with even isolated cells.
Dry conditions are expected to return late tonight, with calm, partly cloudy weather settling in Tuesday. A warmer trend begins midweek, with highs climbing into the 80s by Wednesday. Additional updates may be issued if storm intensity increases.
