Crown Point Emergency Management Agency

The line of storms currently moving through Central Illinois is expected to be the main event for our area today. These storms are tracking northeast and will continue to move closer to Northwest Indiana over the next couple of hours.

We are still under a tornado WATCH until 9pm.

Now is the time to make sure you and your family are prepared:

🌩️ Stay weather aware and monitor trusted weather sources

📱 Ensure Wireless Emergency Alerts are enabled on your phone

🔋 Charge electronic devices in case of power outages

🏠 Know where you will seek shelter if a warning is issued

🚗 Avoid unnecessary travel if severe weather approaches

Remember, conditions can change quickly. The safest approach is to have multiple ways to receive weather warnings and be ready to take action if severe weather threatens our area.

CPEMA will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed.
