IWXwx

Well, nothing like a tornado warning at 5:48 AM with rotation bearing down on LOT's office.

Wow

I picked up 0.71" of light to moderate rain that began yesterday afternoon and continued off and on through this morning, just what the agriculturist ordered, but now time to break out the mower. The HRRR paints a dollop of 2" amounts over a few counties in North Central IN in the next 24 hours, which combined with last night's rain would fend off an increase in drought conditions, at least locally.

I haven't had it as far as I know. Been vaxxed and both boosters. And yes, it's still out there and being passed around at a pretty good rate.

....but the really bad news

...It still looks plenty warm, even if we are not sitting directly under the ridge axis

Looks like the better returns are going to do the splitsville on GRR. Frostfern Special.

Yeah, there were lots of questions concerning this morning's storm track and accompanying clouds clearing out. Even though the FWA area had 5-6" rains this morning, they have quickly shot up to 88°

That's probably soon to change. Let's play find the boundary.

99° now

Speaking of LOT, I have to share the graphic they posted on their Facebook page tonight. Of course, the replies are peppered with comments about being attacked by boomerang pizzas and jalapeno poppers.

The radar looks like heavy rain may be more widespread than the cams were predicting.

Had a noisy storm roll through around 3-4 AM. Although it woke me, it was music too my ears. I actually got up and watched it for a few minutes. Unfortunately, it only dropped four tenths, which is not enough to be a drought buster, but at least I won't have to water my garden for a couple of days.

IWX is jumping on the bandwagon. I honestly haven't heard of a "flash drought" until this year.

SPC has officially declared the storm a derecho.

Watching the Field Museum earth cam. Constant lightning. Alek's getting a show

ChicagoWX must be wringing his shirt out a lot today

Snippet from IND's discussion this afternoon. I didn't realize that it has been 10 years since the area got into the upper 90's. THE LONG TERM WILL START WITH POSSIBLY THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES IN NEARLY A DECADE ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA.

I believe he's using this: https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org/#

It's pretty impressive when your days 4 and 5 point forecast is 97°, especially in mid-June. EDIT: Both 98° now

Feels great. Too bad that you won't be here next week for our mid 90's.
