This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for East Central Indiana,
Southeast Indiana, Northeast Kentucky, Northern Kentucky, South
Central Ohio and Southwest Ohio.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

Heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms will move across the area late
tonight. Hail and flash flooding will be possible with these storms.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms will move across the area
early Tuesday morning. Hail and flash flooding will be possible with
these storms.

Gusty winds of up to 45 MPH will be possible Tuesday afternoon and
again late Tuesday night.

There is the potential for some thunderstorm development during the
late afternoon and into the evening hours. Threats with these storms
would be damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. While
these storms are expected to be progressive in nature, any storms
that do development will have a flash flood threat due to saturated
grounds from previous heavy rainfall.

A line of storms is expected later Tuesday evening into early Tuesday
night. The main threat with these storms would be damaging winds,
however an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed Tuesday into Tuesday evening.
