INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — You likely will hear some thunder this evening as you watch the Colts-Chiefs game on Sunday Night Football. Damaging wind and hail risks are still in play, but the risks should be fairly localized, according to a HRRR model forecast from BAMWeather, valid 8:00 p.m. EDT, Sunday, September 20. This will likely be the last round of storms through the rest of the week.
Indianapolis and Carmel Sit Right in the Path of Multiple Storm Cells
If you’re in Indianapolis or Carmel, radar shows a cluster of storm cells tracking directly through your area around 8 p.m., right as tonight’s game gets going. These cells carry the same damaging wind and hail potentialflagged for the broader region tonight, so if you’re watching the Colts take on the Chiefsat home, don’t be surprised if you hear thunder rolling through or catch a brief but gusty downpour during the broadcast.
Kokomo and Lafayette Track an Active Cell Moving Southeast
To the northwest, Kokomo and Lafayette both show active storm cells on tonight’s radar, with an arrow indicating this activity is tracking southeast toward the Indianapolis metro. If you’re in either community, this is one of several individual cells responsible for tonight’s localized threat, and it appears to be heading in the same general direction as the activity currently sitting over Carmel and northern Indianapolis.
Terre Haute and Charleston See Their Own Storm Cell Pushing East
On the western side of tonight’s map, Terre Haute shows a distinct area of heavier rain, shaded in the deeper reds and oranges representing the most intense rainfall, with an arrow showing this cell tracking east. If you’re in Terre Haute or nearby Charleston, this storm is part of the broader pattern of multiple storm cells forecasters are tracking across the state tonight, and it’s worth keeping an eye on as it continues moving.
New Castle, Richmond and Muncie Face Activity to the East
Farther east, New Castle, Richmond and Muncie all show notable storm activity on tonight’s radar as well, separate from the cells affecting Indianapolis and Terre Haute. If you’re anywhere across this stretch of eastern Indiana, expect the same scattered, localized threat for damaging wind gusts or hail tonight, even though the overall coverage isn’t expected to be widespread across the entire region at once.
Fort Wayne Marks the Northeastern Edge of Tonight’s Storm Track
Up near Fort Wayne, an arrow on tonight’s radar graphic points toward continued storm movement heading in that direction, suggesting activity currently over Marioncould push into the Fort Wayne area later this evening. If you’re in Fort Wayne or nearby Findlay, keep an eye on the sky as the evening progresses, since tonight’s storms are generally tracking from west to east across the state.
Damaging Wind and Hail Remain the Primary Threats Tonight
Forecasters specifically labeled tonight’s setup as carrying multiple storm cells with damaging wind and hail potential, rather than a tornado threat. If a stronger cell passes near you tonight, whether you’re in Indianapolis, Kokomo, Terre Haute or Richmond, the main concern is a sudden gusty wind capable of snapping small branches or knocking over loose outdoor items, along with the possibility of hail mixed in with the heavier rain.
Risks Should Stay Fairly Localized Rather Than Widespread
Despite the number of individual storm cells showing up across the state tonight, forecasters emphasized that these risks should be fairly localized rather than affecting the entire region uniformly. That means not everyone watching tonight’s game will experience the same storm; some viewers might see nothing more than distant thunder, while others directly in a cell’s path could see a brief period of heavier rain and gusty wind.
This Will Likely Be the Last Round of Storms This Week
Perhaps the most welcome part of tonight’s forecast for anyone tired of active weather: forecasters say this will likely be the last round of storms through the rest of the week. If you’re anywhere across central and eastern Indiana, tonight’s scattered cells should mark the tail end of this particular stretch of unsettled weather, with calmer conditions expected to follow once these storms clear the area.
What Fans Watching Tonight’s Game Should Keep in Mind
If you’re settling in for the Colts-Chiefsmatchup tonight anywhere in Indianapolis, Carmel, Kokomo, Terre Haute, Richmond or Fort Wayne, keep your phone handy for weather alerts even while you’re focused on the game. A brief gust of damaging wind or a round of small hail could pass through with relatively little warning, so it’s worth a quick glance outside or at a radar app if you hear thunder during tonight’s broadcast.
