Today will be a wonderful day until late in the afternoon when rain moves in during the evening rush hour.
Widespread 2-3 inches of rainfall is expected for most of central Indiana over next 72 hours. Much of it occurs Wednesday afternoon to Thursday night.INDIANAPOLIS — Much of the day clouds have had more bark than bite. And areas farther north and northwest have enjoyed a much brighter sky on the drier side of a slow-moving cool front turtling
Near, and especially east-southeast, with that front, we're starting to see showers and eventually some thunderstorms developing. The greatest rain/storm coverage this afternoon/evening will be along and east-southeast of I-70/69, including the Indy metro area. Downpours and lightning are main threats today, but there's also a slim chance that a few cells produce funnels near the front.
Windfields relatively weak today, but may be just enough low-level shear/instability/low cloud base intersection near a slow-moving front to produce some funnels within stronger cells that develop between now and sunset.Any cells that do develop will be heat-fueled and diminish near/after sunset.
Like today, there may be enough low-level instability/windshear/moisture to produce either funnels and/or brief tornadoes south of I-70. We'll update in the morning.Additional heavy rain and thunderstorms continues into Thursday. The location of a stronger cool front with a sharper temperature gradient will be key to severe weather potential.
The cooler, showery side of the front arrives Thursday night into Friday but departs just in time for what looks to be a sunny, pleasant weekend.WTHR would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
