SUMMARY: A severe weather alert has been issued for Friday, with strong storms expected to develop in the late afternoon and evening. These storms are likely to bring damaging winds, large hail, and the possibility of an isolated tornado. The area, including Metro Louisville and southern Indiana, is under an enhanced risk (level 3 of 5). A cold front fueled by heat and humidity will trigger the storms, which will begin late Friday evening and continue until around midnight. Most of the region will see dry conditions on Thursday and early Friday, with the severe weather arriving later in the day.
