ORIGINAL STORY:
Temperatures will climb to the low 80s during the afternoon under a partly sunny sky.
It will be windy and humid. Storms will be developing and tracking in from the north.
Some of the storms that develop will be capable of producing 60-plus mph winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes. Ponding on the roadways will become an issue in the heavier downpours.
Another round of showers and storms, some severe, are likely by Wednesday afternoon.
Lawrence, Butler, Armstrong, Indiana counties MOST likely to get severe storms late this afternoon and this evening. pic.twitter.com/BLBa2cVMuM
