Live Doppler 13 afternoon forecast Tuesday, April 15, 2025
Hang on to your hat, it is going to be a windy day on this Tax Day with increasing cloudiness and a stray shower, especially in northwest Indiana this morning. The wind will be flirting with 3540 mph gusts during the day and our high tops out at a cooler 54 degrees.
Look for cold temperatures tomorrow morning, and thus a frost advisory for much of Indiana tomorrow with lows just above the freezing mark and a recovery to 60 degrees.
We will watch for the possibility of severe weather in the state late in the day and evening Friday with highs in the upper 70s, but a front moving through could trigger those storms Friday night into Saturday.
