Good Friday morning! Overnight model data is in and we continue to look things over from a total rainfall perspective, as well as any severe weather threat that exists Saturday evening. As of now, we anticipate the best chance of any kind of severe thunderstorms to occur Saturday evening/ night and the biggest threat appears to be from a damaging wind standpoint. The latest severe weather outlook from the trusted Storm Prediction Center (SPC) places central and western Indiana under a Slight Risk of severe weather Saturday.
The 12z NAM is hot off the press and suggests the heaviest rainfall threat is mostly east of Indianapolis proper. There’s the chance rainfall amounts approach 2″ across far eastern Indiana. We’ll continue to analyze the data as it comes in this afternoon and have a complete update posted later today.
