Watch for severe thunderstorms today

The National Weather Service says more thunderstorms are in the forecast for Indiana and some could be severe.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for 39 counties in central Indiana, including all of the Kokomo area, until 1 p.m. Monday.

The forecast comes one day after severe thunderstorms slashed through central Indiana, downing trees and power lines and cutting electricity to more than 30,000 people.

Duke Energy reported that fewer than 3,000 customers remained without power this morning. Virtually all Indianapolis Power and Light customers have had their power restored.

The biggest outage was in Hendricks County just west of Indianapolis.

In Bartholomew County, trees and power lines were reported down throughout Columbus.
