Because of the pattern we are in, it looks we will have another flooding scenario this coming weekend. I hate to bring you the bad news but here are the latest deatails from the National Weather Service:
Another 4-6 inches of rain possible.
.Long Term...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 306 PM EDT Wed Jun 23 2021 Models continue to trend toward a potential flash flood event this weekend into next week. Several days of PWAT values in the 1.80 to 2.20 inch range are anticipated as central Indiana falls into a pattern of prolonged southerly flow with surface high pressure over the southeast U.S. This will put central Indiana in a warm sector for several days as Gulf moisture continuously advects into the region. Meanwhile, the cold front will remain stalled over the Midwest and southwest into the Missouri Valley providing an area of forcing for repeated shower and thunderstorm development throughout the weekend. Currently, the best forcing is progged to be over the western portions of central Indiana where the low level jet will provide enhancement while moving along the aforementioned cold front through the weekend. Meanwhile, a broad upper trough will linger over the Upper Midwest with weak waves rotating through it, interacting with the stalled surface frontal boundary. Temperatures through the period will remain warm despite the deep saturation displayed in forecast soundings. This is due to the strong warm advection/southerly surface flow. Daytime highs through the period will easily climb into the 80s and even upper 80s on Saturday. Overnight lows will trend much the same with readings in the upper 60s/low 70s.
