The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a severe thunderstorm watch with enhanced risk through the evening, according to NWS's Storm Prediction Center. The watch will affect multiple counties across central Indiana, including Delaware County. The watch will be in effect until midnight. 

Earlier in the afternoon, a hazardous weather watch was put in affect earlier in the afternoon. The NWS warned thunderstorms would likely roll in over the evening and there would be possible wind gusts of up to 45mph. 

In the likely event of a tornado warning, those in affected counties are encouraged to seek shelter in a lower interior such as a basement or storm shelter, and stay away from windows, according to the NWS. 

This brief will be updated with more information, as it becomes available.
