Gusty south winds will be seen across the outlook area this evening. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 45 to 50mph will be possible prior to storms arriving later this evening.

There is also an enhanced fire danger for locations east of I-65 Wednesday afternoon. The combination of strong winds, dry fuels, and low relative humidity will make for difficult conditions to control any outdoor burning. A Red Flag Warning has been posted until 8:00 PM EDT.
