Stay weather aware on Wednesday, as a round of thunderstorms get ready to move through Michiana. Some storms could be strong or even severe.
The first wave of showers and storms is late this morning and into the lunch hour. A few of these storms could have severe potential, but that potential is low.
The strength of the first round of storms will help determine the strength of storms this evening.
