More rain showers are expected to move into NW IN and southwest Lower MI later tonight, with scattered showers and thunderstorms redeveloping again on Monday. The chance of showers will linger into Monday evening, but dry weather and sunny skies return for Tuesday.
Below is a map of radar estimated rainfall last 24 hours. Brighter green colors indicate areas that have likely received 1"+ of rain. Some observers have also reported actual rainfall amounts in excess of an inch in these heavier swaths.
Rain/storms persist mainly along and north of US-6 this morning before diminishing by 2 PM ET. Additional rain/storm chances are likely Monday through Tuesday morning upon the arrival of a cold front. Warm temperatures continue with highs in the 70s to low 80s.
From the Weather Prediction Center, areas of flash flooding will be possible overnight in northwest Indiana. We will wait to see how the heavy rain potential sets up overnight, but right now our current thinking is that the best chances for flash flooding will be west of IN 13.
Severe weather has impacted much of the Central Plains in the past 48 hours. We are thinking of everyone at NWS Norman and NWS Tulsa as they have a long night ahead ❤️ Intense, rain-wrapped tornadoes are never something you want to see on radar, especially at night.
Here's a look at severe weather operations at one of the busiest offices for severe weather in the country right now! We're thinking of everyone working at NWS Norman and the Storm Prediction Center as they handle a very busy day of severe weather ❤️
Chances for showers and thunderstorms will increase tonight for some . While locally gusty winds could accompany the strongest storms, locally heavy rainfall poses the greater concern. Rainfall rates of 1-2”/hr could lead to minor flooding in some areas.
With warm weather this weekend, you may be heading to Lake Michigan to cool off. While water temperatures are slowly warming, they are still only in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees. Just because the air is warm doesn't mean the water will be! Stay out of the water!
Wind gusts will be between 30-35 mph today, with a few gusts up to 40 mph. Warm temperatures and scattered rain chances will persist through the weekend and into early next week. A cold front brings better chances for rain and storms Monday afternoon/evening.
It has been a very impactful severe weather day in the Central Plains. We're keeping our colleagues at NWS Hastings, NWS Omaha, and NWS Des Moines in our thoughts as their forecast areas have been devastated by tornadoes ❤️ Our hearts go out to anyone impacted ❤️
Scattered rain showers can be expected tonight into Sat AM with a few storms possible. Isolated storms may redevelop Saturday afternoon, with an isolated strong storm possible. Warm and windy this weekend with highs from mid 70s to lower 80s. More rain chances Sun night-Mon.
Happy Friday! If this chilly morning has you wishing for warmer weather, we have good news! As we transition from El Niño to La Niña, from May to July,

Frost is expected to develop again tonight across portions of the area. A Frost Advisory in effect through early Friday morning. Turning windy and warmer for the weekend with chances of showers and storms.
A few locations were still hovering around the freezing mark at 8 AM ET this morning. Temperatures will continue to rise into the low-mid 40s by 10am. Another night of some patchy frost potential is in store tonight, especially along and east of I-69.
Much warmer air will return accompanied by several rounds of showers and storm through Monday. The heaviest total rainfall is expected to be west of Highway 31. Highs will mainly be in the 70s to around 80.
Frost/freeze conditions late tonight will give way to a significant warmer trend by this weekend. Breezy and increasingly moist southwest winds will also usher in some shower and storm chances Friday afternoon into the weekend.
