As you all know very heavy rain has been falling across Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky. Several water rescues have been reported. Water in some areas is as much as 3 feet deep.

Friday/4:35PM
WEATHER CODE: NON-SEVERE
One more dry night, before showers and thunderstorms enter the region beginning tomorrow night. Several disturbances will move through the next 5 days. (The 5 day forecast rainfall totals are below)
Although, the HPC is only forecasting 2 to 3 inches of rainfall over the next 5 days, it's very possible some areas will end up with 4 to 5 inches. This is due and part to expected heavy downpours, which may dump 1 or 2 inches in a short period of time. Widespread flooding is not expected, however, some flooding is possible as we near the end of next week. As always, flash flooding is a concern with the heavier downpours. Right now expect rain tomorrow night, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and potentially Wednesday as well. I'm also watching another disturbance the models are beginning to pick up on for next weekend. All in all, a very wet week is setting up after the almost month long dry spell we have experienced.
Hopefully, there will be some dry periods this weekend, so everyone can get out and enjoy the festivities that are going on across the region.
Everyone have a God blessed night!

Thursday/5:20PM
WEATHER CODE: NON-SEVERE
Dry--that's been the popular word, lately, weatherwise across the Wabash and Ohio Valley Region. However, finally, some rain is beginning to enter the picture this evening. A pesky low pressure system that has been spawning showers and thunderstorms well to our south is now beginning to push a bit further north and the showers have made it into the southern parts of the viewing area now. (Southern Kentucky) This low will begin to push even further north over the weekend and by Saturday night and Sunday, showers and isolated thunderstorms will overspread the area.
On Monday a cold front will enter the region, this should bring a decent line of showers and thunderstorms, once again, into the region. Widespread severe weather is NOT expected, however a few isolated severe storms are certainly possible due to the potency of the front. If models continue to agree, Tuesday may also be another wet day as the front hangs across the Ohio and Wabash Valleys.
Computer models are still advertising a big cool down, but now they don't have it starting until early next week. We've seen the models pick up on a big cool down the last month or so, and it always get's pushed further back. However, as far as I'm concerned, fall temperatures can still be expected by the first weekend of fall. I'll be fine tuning this for you as we get closer.
For those of you from my hometown in Seymour, Indiana, your 7 day forecast is below.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT FALL?
Yesterday, I asked people on my facebook what their favorite thing about fall was. Here is some of the responses...
Todd says: The second tornado season
Kristin says: Bon fires and Chili
Alex says: Thanksgiving
Bevin says: Leaves and fresh air
Jordan says: All the colorful nature and the Oktoberfest (in Seymour)
John says: The cool temperatures
Charis says: Cool temps and pretty colors and it smells nice too!
Cassie says: Leaves falling off the trees
Katherine says: The wonderful weather
Pegi says: The most I enjoy about fall are the sounds of crickets, apple picking, cooler weather, wearing sweaters, and being able to be outside more walking especially through the fallen leaves.
Bethany says: I love all the beautiful fall colors!
Dawna says: apple cider, blustery stormy nights, the smell of woodsmoke hanging in the chilly night air....and taking walks after a storm and seeing the miniature fall leaves, perfectly formed-perfectly colored, pasted to the sidewalk by the deluge.
My mom says: Hearing your dad complain about all the leaves to rake! NOT!

Wednesday/12:15PM
WEATHER CODE: NON-SEVERE
Another dry day is on tap across the region with sunny skies and temperatures in the lower and middle 80's.
Showers and thunderstorms still look to be on the increase as we enter the Sunday/Monday time frame. Models are still trying to iron out how much moisture will be available these two days. I'll fine tune the forecast this evening. As advertised yesterday, the big cool down looks to be on the way by the middle of next week. How cool is still the big question. Just taking a peak at the models, we may have a few days with highs in the middle 60's and lows in the lower 40's! I'll have a full update tonight along with the tropical forecast! Everyone have a God blessed day!
