Indiana Braces for Severe Weather Swing as Sunday Storms, High Winds, and a Rapid Temperature Crash Set the Stage for Dangerous Conditions
INDIANA — A dramatic weather shift is expected across the state on Sunday as Indiana faces severe storm potential, high winds, heavy rain, and a rapid plunge in temperatures that could drop conditions from the 60s during the day to the teens and 20s by Sunday night. Forecasters warn that the quick transition will also bring wind chills near or below zero by Monday morning, creating hazardous conditions across much of the state.
Severe Weather Expected Sunday Afternoon
Meteorologists note that the Storm Prediction Center has placed most of Indiana under a low-end severe weather risk, highlighted by the dark green shading on the latest forecast map.

Temperature Crash Late Sunday
Conditions will shift dramatically Sunday night as temperatures fall from the 60s into the teens and 20s, bringing the strongest cold front of the season. Forecasters say the rapid temperature drop could lead to light snow showers in northern parts of the state, especially late Sunday night into Monday morning.
Dangerous Winds and Subzero Wind Chills
Wind gusts of 30–45 mph are expected through Sunday and Monday, creating dangerously cold wind chills for many communities. By Monday morning, several areas may experience wind chills at or below zero, posing risks for anyone outdoors without proper protection.
Residents Urged To Monitor Conditions
