Highlights:

• Couple round of storms today
• Heavy rain; flood threat Friday afternoon into early Saturday
• Much cooler and drier this weekend

The morning is off to a wet start, including some embedded thunder and while we anticipate a break in the rain from late morning into the afternoon, additional thunderstorm development is possible by evening.  A slight risk of severe storms is in place across the southern half of the state.

Low pressure will move this way Friday and strengthen as it tracks into the eastern Lakes region.  This will spell very wet times around these parts from the second half of Friday into the wee morning hours Saturday.  Much cooler air and windy conditions will push into central IN Saturday on the backside of the low pressure system.  Before we enjoy those cooler conditions, heavy downpours are likely Friday afternoon into Friday night, including the potential of localized flooding.  If you live near a creek or stream, be sure to have your flood plan in place should rapid water rise occur.

As mentioned above, we’ll dry out rather rapidly Saturday afternoon and this will be followed by a beautiful Sunday.  How many times can we say late June starts in the lower to middle 50s, no humidity, lots of sunshine, and highs in the upper 70s?! 🙂

We’re back to scattered shower and thunderstorm chances early next week, with continued cooler than average temperatures.
