Read the full account →Clusters of thunderstorms repeatedly moved over the same areas, causing isolated minor flooding problems. The storms increased in response to daytime heating of a very moist air mass.
Read the full account →Despite a persistent ridge in the upper levels of the atmosphere, scattered thunderstorms developed during the heat of the day. Weak southwest to west winds aloft brought a weak disturbance into the region.
Read the full account →A warm front moved across central Indiana during the evening of June 22 and morning hours of June 23. Hot and humid air behind the front provided fuel for the storms.
Read the full account →Heavy rains toward the end of December sent the Ohio River above flood stage from December into the first part of January. The flooding was minor, consisting mostly of flooded bottomland fields, woodlands, and public park and recreation areas.

Read the full account →A large thunderstorm complex tracked slowly east across southwest Indiana during the morning. These storms produced heavy rainfall and isolated flooding. A deep southwest wind flow through the depth of the atmosphere brought abundant moisture for storms.
Read the full account →The last widespread rains of the month were the result of a developing low pressure area that moved through the state on the 26th and early on the 27th. Numerous flooding problems developed quickly across mainly northern sections of central Indiana.
