It was a rather noisy evening across north-central Indiana with numerous strong to severe thunderstorms that dumped torrential downpours and provided damaging wind for some.  While rainfall totals certainly weren’t “uniform,” many communities received anywhere from 1.5″ – 2.5″ of rain between the two rounds of storms.  Today and Friday are liable to be another couple of active days as the heat, humidity, and instability builds during the afternoon.  Heavy showers and embedded stronger thunderstorms will likely fire across central Indiana this afternoon.  Locally heavy rain can be expected with any storm that develops.  As we move forward, we still think we can introduce slightly drier air into your weekend forecast with rain coverage greatly reduced Saturday and almost non-existent Sunday.  Next week poses a whole set of problems as forecast models aren’t in agreement in the least.  For now we’ll go with a blend, leaning slightly more in the direction of the cooler/ drier GFS by the middle of next week as it’s been performing nicely with the cooler, drier air masses so far this spring and summer.  Stay tuned.
