Another round of severe thunderstorms is possible Wednesday, beginning in the late afternoon over southern Indiana, and potentially spreading into the rest of central Indiana this evening.
Forecasters from the National Weather Service in Indianapolis said the primary threats are hail and damaging winds, but isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out.
The greatest threat for severe weather will be along and south of the I-70 corridor. Repeated rounds of rainfall may allow river flooding to redevelop along with localized flash flooding as well.

In southern Indiana, the National Weather Service confirmed a tornado touched down early Wednesday. The Clark County Emergency Management Agency said the storm damaged 24 structures, including homes in a subdivision north of the city of Sellersburg, located about 12 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky.
Candice Holmes, a resident of the Lewis & Clark subdivision north of Sellersburg, said she, her husband and son sought shelter in their bathroom when they heard the approaching storm and “the wind just picked up all at once.”
“It was definitely a scary moment. ... And I’m glad we’re alive,” Holmes told WDRB-TV.
Thunderstorms are expected at times Saturday afternoon and Monday.
