STATEWIDE–Much of the state will get scattered and heavy rain at times Wednesday. “Any time in the afternoon Wednesday is when we have a pretty good threat of picking up potential on scattered heavier showers,” said Stephanie Mead, meteorologist at WISH-TV. “I think a good bulk of the heavier rain will be south of I-70 in southeastern portions of the state.” That part of the state is under a marginal risk for severe weather. That means isolated severe storms are possible, with the threat of isolated damaging winds, small hail and maybe a tornado. “Areas south of I-70 like near Bloomington, for example, the main threat with these storms would be gusty winds and the potential for some hail. This is nothing widespread, but the threat is still there nonetheless. A lot of us are seeing some hard, dry ground, so there might be some isolated flooding in some of these spots south and east of Indianapolis where there is likely an inch to an inch and a half of rain that’s possible during the day (Wednesday) and early tomorrow morning,” said Mead.
