For Wx nerds and model watchers.
The new GFS is finally official according to the NWS. From the Washington Post:
National Weather Service launches upgraded, improved global forecast model
So, in short, the old GFS is now called "GFS Legacy" and the new GFS is called "GFS" or "GFS-FV3".

The radar lit up shortly after 6:30pm yesterday and then we were hit with strong winds and heavy rain. Here are some pictures from the south side of town.

What a cool morning!
It was 49 degrees last night and it looks like it will be 49 degrees on Thursday night as well. This will be a great week to get out and enjoy yourself. Here's the detailed forecast for the rest of the week:
.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Thursday Night/... Issued at 240 AM EDT Tue Jun 11 2019 Dry weather is expected to persist tonight and fro much of Wednesday. The GFS and NAM both suggest the large area of surface high pressure will take its time passing east of Central Indiana. GFS and NAm both suggest a continued dry column tonight through at least 18Z Wed. Thus will continue the trend of partly cloudy skies and a blend on temps. A stronger upper trough is suggested by the models to begin to influence Central Indiana on Late wednesday afternoon and THursday as it drops southeast out of the upper midwest. Forecast soundings imply deep moisture arriving by 06Z Thursday...persisting through the overnight Hours as the trough axis aloft passes across the Indiana. Again forcing seems quite favorable given the suggested upper pattern. Pwats are suggested to only reach around 1 inch...thus for this time of year...precip will be mainly light. Will trend pops upward in on Wednesday afternoon with best chances overnight. Given the lack of gulf flow into the Ohio valley preceding this system...confidence on rain is medium and will stick close to the NBM pops. As the trough axis is departs on Thursday...forecast soundings begin a dry out within the column as subsidence once again resumes. Cyclonic flow looks to remain within the lower levels on thursday afternoon...which could keep some strato-cu across the area...but limited moisture should prevent showers. Dry weather on Thursday night as another large and strong high pressure system arrives from the west. && .LONG TERM /Friday through Monday Night/... Issued at 337 AM EDT Tue Jun 11 2019 The extended period will initially start out dry on Friday. However, the pattern will quickly change by Friday night as showers and thunderstorms enter from the west with the next frontal system. This system will keep shower and thunderstorm chances in the forecast through the weekend. Further out, an upper low from the southwest will quickly follow on Monday behind the aforementioned frontal system. So, additional showers and thunderstorms will be possible on Monday and Monday night. Meanwhile, temperatures will start out below normal early in the period, then quickly return to normal/slightly above normal by the weekend.
