Diminished, But Not Eliminated…

While our forecast includes a shower chance impacting at least a portion of our central Indiana viewing area each day over the upcoming 7 days, please know it’s certainly not going to rain the entire time, and everyone won’t get wet each day.  Additionally, while widespread heavy rain isn’t anticipated, locally heavy downpours and localized flash flooding will develop in spots (similar to Wednesday-Thursday).  By the way, we wrote a piece about the Boone County flash flooding event and you can read that here, if you wish.  This afternoon shower and thunderstorm activity shouldn’t be as widespread as the previous two days, but some locally heavy storms are possible in spots, especially if we can shake the morning cloudiness.

We’re focusing in on a couple threats of more widespread activity- late Saturday night we’re monitoring a potential severe weather risk (damaging winds of greatest concern) and showers and thunderstorms may also be more widespread Tuesday.  We still think we’ll get in on at least somewhat drier air/ cooler temperatures towards the middle of next week, but model data insists on the boundary remaining close enough to our region to include at least some risk of showers Wednesday and Thursday, as well.
