July 8, 2008: 4:30pm

Interesting system developing for the evening which will bring us heavy rain...

Everyone in the area is in CODE ORANGE now...

The western part of the area has had an opprotunity to dry out late yesterday and today, so the better chance of flooding as been dropped out of my forecast...

Isolated storms are likely in the area this evening, any of which could have gusty winds and heavy rain...

There is a slight risk of severe along and north of a line front Paoli, IN, to Salem, IN, to Madison, IN, but nothing organized is likely. The only minor threat is damaging winds (15% chance)...Do not anticipate severe weather...

The front will stall overnight tonight. I think the southern Indinana and north-central Kentucky area has equal chances of the heaviest rain. 1-2.5 inches of rain with some possible totals up to 3.5 inches can be expected.

The best time period for this activity will be from 1 am Wednesday-7pm Wednesday...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday will be clearing, with low 80's and lower humidities, while Friday will be in the upper 80's.

However, Saturday-Monday hold isolated storm chances as the humidity increases and the temps rise to near 90.

Tuesday looks okay with highs in the upper 80's.
