Model Data Not Backing Down On Flooding Rains Ahead

A scan over multiple computer models this morning shows that forecast models remain consistent of the idea of a weekend deluge across central Indiana.  Unfortunately, when combined with the snow melt, if even the numbers are half right, we’ll have to deal with significant flooding this weekend, especially Saturday afternoon through Sunday.

Here’s a look at the data.  We average multiple computer models together to come up with our precipitation forecasts (both rain and snow) that you see in our daily 7-Day Video Forecasts (available to the right of this post).

Needless to say, when looking over all of the data above, we still feel confident in the forecast we have out…widespread 3-4″ rainfall with locally heavier totals.  Preparations should have already begun if you live, or work, in a flood prone area, but if not, please do so today.  The question remains not if we’ll see flooding, but how severe the flooding will be.
