I have Facebook friend who lives in the area and has been posting pics of the snow. I'm just not quite ready for that yet.

Had a landspout touchdown in East Central IN yesterday afternoon.

SURVEY SUMMARY:
A LANDSPOUT TORNADO BRIEFLY TOUCHED DOWN NORTH OF WINCHESTER.
WHILE ON THE GROUND, THE TORNADO CAME IN CONTACT WITH AN OLD
OUTBUILDING, DAMAGING THE MEDAL ENCASING AND THE ROOF STRUCTURE.
PARTS OF THE ROOF WERE THROWN DOWNWIND, WITH A FEW 2'X 4' BOARDS
SCATTERED BETWEEN THE ROOF AND THE BUILDING. THE TORNADO LIFTED
SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WITH NO FURTHER DAMAGE. 

Yep, after this weekend's rains, we return to mild and dry weather. I feel like I've moved to San Diego.

This model is depicting a face-melting torch for much of the subforum.....or at least one day that hits 125°.

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.

FWAland doing some drought busting

I went back and looked at this morning's forecast, and it was only low 90s.  Potential was there to overachieve though (based on HRRR, etc).

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°

Its 99 at my place now. Also it hasn't rained in my location at all since June 13th

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

Up to 97 at IND, which is the warmest temp there since 2012.

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.

Widespread damage throughout the county north of me (Whitley) and the southern part of Ft. Wayne/Allen Co.

FWA rainfall - 2.03" My place 20 miles SW of FWA 0.01"

Also, this is just west of Fort Wayne:
