Indiana Section Emergency Coordinator Jim Moehring, @KB9WWM (who also serves as Allen County Emergency Coordinator) speaks on creating #ARES teams at the North Central Indiana #Hamfest. #EmComm
Our agency has decided to suspend this week's NOAA Weather Radio Test due to the inauguration being a National Special Security event. We need to keep all lines and methods for emergency communications free. The test will resume at its normal time next week
Northern 1/2 of IN has 5% - 30% probability of damaging, straight-line winds of 58 mph or stronger today/tonight. Large hail and tornado also possible. #SKYWARN spotters should prepare for possible activation. #INwx
Nearly all of IN has some prob of a #tornado this afternoon and eve, with greatest risk in western half (shaded brown), per @nwsspc midday outlook #INwx #Shttps://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2020/day1otlk_20200517_1630.htmlKYWARN
Much of extreme S IN (shaded gray) has 10X normal risk of sig. tornadoes (EF-2 or worse damage) today, per 13Z @NWSSPC Day1 outlook. spc.noaa.gov/products/outloo…#INwx
NWS now reserves flash flood warnings distributed through the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system for only the most life-threatening events. When you get a WEA, take action, it could save your life.

Biennial Central Indiana Severe Weather Symposium won't happen in 2020, per email just received from @NWSIndianapolis WCM @Slashman_us. Cites staff shortage, other issues. Hopes to revive in 2021. #CISWS#INwx#SKYWARN
If northern Indiana receives any severe weather this week (thunderstorms w/ strong winds are forecast today), this planned radar outage will make #SKYWARN storm spotter reports even more important! #INwx
Beginning Monday (10/21/2019) the KIWX WSR-88D (Doppler Radar) will be down for Transmitter Refurbishment. The outage will last about 5 days. More information about this process can be found online at ow.ly/x9oU50wPBfK
