Memorial Day/Early Afternoon

WEATHER CODE: YELLOW ***Showers and thunderstorms numerous across parts of the viewing area***



Showers and thunderstorms are on the increase early this afternoon across a good part of the viewing area. The best potential for a continued threat for numerous showers and thunderstorms will be from Indianapolis to Vincennes to Seymour to Cincinnati. The thunderstorms will become more scattered as you travel southward into Kentucky.

Storms have already produced very heavy rain. 2 inches of rain fell near Seymour this morning. And 5 inches of rain near Shelbyville. That much rain in a short period of time can cause lots of ponding on roadways. Remember the National Weather Service motto...TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN...

All showers and thunderstorms are moving from southeast to northwest across the region. This movement has to do with the subtropical low that is circulating just south of Missouri.

Here is our next WEATHER TRIVIA QUESTION
