Super Soakers hitting parts of Indy causing street flooding and gusty wind.

Scattered downpours developing along the I-70 corridor. Coverage will be scattered to numerous the next 3 days with a focal point in the central/northern parts of the state. Anything on radar will have 2"-3"+ per hour rain rates with areas of flash flooding possible.

It feels like 100+ for most of central Indiana. The temperature in Indy has hit 92...so far.

Today's weather can be described in one word: Oppressive! At 1020am, Indianapolis Int'l Airport already hit 90 degrees with a heat index of 101. Terre Haute also hit 90 already, but with a heat index of 110! Drink plenty of fluids and check on those without proper A/C. #inwx
