AEP provided the following weather alert at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday
*** Broken Line of Severe Thunderstorms For I&M Power This Afternoon
*** Line of Severe Thunderstorms Possible for Portions of AEP Ohio,
Kentucky Power, W.
The latest radar as of 2:30 pm shows a broken line of severe thunderstorms in northern Illinois entering Indiana.
AEP's East Utilities will be in an active severe weather pattern late today through the weekend. The combination of unstable air, a stalled front, and several upper-level disturbances moving along the front will result in the severe storms. Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon over Illinois.
These storms may develop into a complex of severe storms - or even a squall line with widespread damaging winds - as they track across Indiana & Ohio this evening into tonight. If a squall line does develop...a significant outage event will be possible,
especially for AEP Ohio.
