Strap down the trampolines, it's going to be windy today in Indiana
Strap down the trampolines, it's going to be a windy day in Indiana, the National Weather Service said.
A wind advisory was issued for most of the state until 7 p.m. Gusts are expected to reach 50 mph and winds from the southwest are expected to range between 20-30 mph.
Wind gusts will blow around unsecured objects and tree limbs could be blown down into power lines, leading to power outages, the National Weather Service in Indianapolis cautions.
"It doesn't mean we're going to get cold, but we will have a cold front going into the weekend," National Weather Service Indianapolis meteorologist Jason Puma told IndyStar. "But not like the arctic cold we've seen for the past few months. It will still be a lot warmer going in to next week."
The advisory warns that winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. So, be sure to use extra caution and secure outdoor objects.

On This Date: One Of America's Deadliest Tornadoes Strikes Wisconsin Town Hosting A Circus
One of America's deadliest tornadoes tore through a Wisconsin town hosting a circus more than 125 years ago. Gollmar Brothers Circus was in New Richmond, Wisconsin, on June 12, 1899, bringing a larger number of people to the town than usual. Before hitting New Richmond, three people were killed by the tornado on farms near Burkhardt and Boardman. The twister then carved a path through the middle of New Richmond just after the circus ended, according to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee. About 300 buildings were damaged or destroyed along a path 3,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide through New Richmond. Incredibly, a 3,000 pound safe was said to have been carried a full block away. A total of 117 lives were lost in the tornado, making it the 9th deadliest on record in the U.S., according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center Flying debris from the tornado killed many of the 117 people, and 26 separate families had multiple deaths. The NWS says the tornado was easy to spot and that this may have kept the death toll from being even higher. Chris Dolce has been a senior digital meteorologist with for 15 years after beginning his career with The Weather Channel in the early 2000s.

A tornado near Pocatello? Using radar, Idaho weather experts issued warning
Weather officials said they spotted a rare tornado on radar in Southeast Idaho on Wednesday afternoon, prompting them to warn locals to take cover. The tornado warning was in effect from 3:12 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. for Idaho towns south of Pocatello, including Downey, Swanlake and Virginia, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Jack Messick. Messick said the warning was issued after experts noticed patterns on their radar that indicated a tornado. Tornadoes are an unusual event in Idaho, with an average of not even one confirmed tornado touching down in the Gem State each year, according to previous Idaho Statesman reporting. National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Valle said that as of 5 p.m., officials had not received a confirmed sighting of a tornado touching down Wednesday. There were reports of winds exceeding 60 mph and up to half an inch of rain falling in the tornado warning zone, according to Valle. The area near Pocatello was hit by the weather conditions that created the perfect storm for a possible tornado, Messick said. 'We have a cold front pushing through, and a cold front can trigger thunderstorms,' Messick told the Statesman by phone. 'The instability in the air was caused by the really hot weather we've been having, and then this cold air coming in behind it. The stronger the temperature difference across that boundary, the stronger the thunderstorms can be.'
