And Then The Rains Came…

Central Indiana has dealt with heavy rain over the past (24) hours, and it’s continuing this morning.  In some areas, rainfall has been excessive.  Note the latest Storm Total Rainfall map below.  Areas of light green indicate where 1″ of rain has fallen (since June 8th), yellow indicates where 2″ of rain has accumulated, and the orange hues represent areas of 4″ to as much as 5″ in spots.  – Again this is just rainfall from Friday morning through 7a Monday.

Moisture continues to stream across central and southern Indiana this morning, and some of this rain is falling at a moderate to heavy rate.

Widespread rain will eventually come to an end later this afternoon before scattered showers and thunderstorms redevelop this evening into tonight.  Potential is also present for the possibility of another thunderstorm complex impacting parts of the region late tonight into early Tuesday- especially across the southwest part of the state.  Scattered thunderstorm chances will remain Tuesday (more of the splash and dash variety as opposed to a widespread soaker).

Eventually, drier air will work into the state for midweek and rainfall coverage will diminish Wednesday and most of Thursday.

An increasingly moist air mass will return to close the week and with the increasing humidity, rain and storm chances will make a return Friday into the upcoming weekend.
