Severe storms expected later today | Mar. 30, 2025

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — After a wet Saturday, additional showers are impacting the area this morning. This afternoon into tonight severe storms are expected.
TODAY: Scattered morning showers will continue. If morning showers linger around longer into the midday hours may impact when strong storms fire this afternoon. An enhanced (3/5) risk is in place for Indiana. Our timetable for severe weather will be from 3 PM to 11 PM. A line of showers and storms will form and cross the state. Ahead of that line, we could have a couple of cells/supercells.

Damaging wind will be the primary concern, but a couple tornadoes remain possible in addition to large hail. The tornado threat is slightly higher in southern Indiana compared to the rest of the state. Large hail would be most possible in cells forming in western Indiana. High temperatures in the low 70s.



TONIGHT: Severe storms are expected exit southeastern Indiana completely by 11 PM. A few showers will be left over into the early morning hours. Low temperatures will be in the low to mid-40s.

TOMORROW: Isolated to spotty showers are possible in the breakfast hours. Otherwise, mostly cloudy to cloudy skies remain for the rest of the day. High temperatures will be reach at midnight near 60 degrees, but the afternoon temperatures are in the upper 40s.

7-DAY FORECAST: Tuesday is the pick of the week with dry conditions and temperatures in the mid-50s. Severe weather chances could return Wednesday with an enhanced risk already in place. Scattered showers will come in waves through the end of the work week. Flooding may be a concern by then with multiple inches of rain falling.

Darian DeVries gets first taste of Indiana high school basketball as IU coach
INDIANAPOLIS — Well, he needs players. First-year Indiana basketball coach Darian DeVries is without a roster, save for one signed freshman who fled the state for a year at a prep powerhouse.
The churn of the transfer portal and expectancy of a roster rebuild after a coaching change leaves IU without a player from last season’s roster. That sometimes can be deceiving but, for the Hoosiers, it is true as a result of having 19 players last season and only 15 roster spots once the House vs NCAA settlement is approved, as it is expected to be April 7.
It shouldn’t be long before the Hoosiers have players, though. That date will establish a clearinghouse which will monitor NIL deals, so college teams have reasons to set their rosters, at least financially, before they have to report those deals.
DeVries is looking for those who fit him, his coaching peers and foes told IndyStar, and that includes at Saturday’s IHSAA basketball state finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Perhaps he’s looking for a diamond in the rough for next year, or just scouting for the future. Follow along with state here.
Where is IU basketball recruit Trent Sisley?
Remember the signed freshman who went to a prep powerhouse? That would be Trent Sisley, Hoosier through and through (the coaching change), who starred at Heritage Hills before taking his talents to Montverde Academy in Florida.
That same move has worked out for this year’s March Madness stars: Maryland’s Derik Queen hit a memorable and widely debated game-winner to hold off Colorado State’s upset bid, and Duke’s Cooper Flagg is likely the No. 1 NBA Draft pick in June. Montverde has sent stars, and plenty of one-and-dones, to the NBA. Think Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard and Detroit Pistons rising stars Cade Cunnigham and Jalen Duren.
There’s also a Montverde-to-IU pipeline, of sorts. Both Malik Reneau and Jalen Hood-Schifino attended the powerhouse before wearing cream and crimson candy stripes. And next, Sisley, who Hoosiers fans can watch Wednesday at Hamilton Southeastern High School in Fishers as part of the national tournament.
