INDIANA (WANE) — Thousands of customers for multiple power companies in northeast Indiana are without power as a result of severe storms.

As several counties experienced tornado watches and warnings, severe storms rampaging through communities also knocked out power. As of 11:30 Thursday night, approximately 7,000 customers have reported outages across three different power companies.

According to the Indiana Michigan Power outage map, over 2,000 households are without power in Allen and Grant Counties.

On Duke Energy’s outage map, nearly 2,000 people do not have power in Huntington County, and over 24,000 people do not have power in the entire state of Indiana.

Northeast REMC’s outage map shows that over 3,000 people do not have power in its entire service area.

It’s unclear when these power companies will restore power to customers.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Strong to severe storms tonight will be followed by 2 days of really nice weather.  

THURSDAY EVENING/NIGHT:

A line of strong to severe storms will move across Central Indiana sometime between 10 PM and 2 AM.  The main severe threat looks to be damaging wind gusts (much like the last few days) but we’ll continue to monitor for a quick spin-up and a little hail.  Heavy rain may lead to some areas of flooding once again. Temperatures by sunrise Friday in the wake of the rain should be mainly in the 60s.

FRIDAY:

A very nice summer day is on tap with highs in upper 70s to lower 80s, much lower humidity levels, and lots of sunshine.  Outdoor and evening activities look good to go!

FRIDAY NIGHT:

Clear, quiet, and comfortable conditions are on track. Look for lows mainly in the lower 60s.

SATURDAY:

Partly cloudy and warm. Afternoon highs will climb back into the mid 80s. Lows in the mid 60s are likely Saturday night. 

SUNDAY:

Partly to mostly cloudy. Scattered showers & storms are likely with a passing cold front but severe weather appears unlikely. Much cooler highs mainly in the 70s.  

NEXT WEEK:

Cooler than average conditions are likely for at least for the first half of the week.  Highs in the mid to upper 70s remain on track for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Low will be in the 50s for a change.  Dry weather should hold for Monday but a small rain chance returns Tuesday.  More scattered rain & storms may develop by Wednesday afternoon & evening with a stronger storm system moving through the region.
