A couple of storms moved across northern Indiana Thursday night.  The weather system triggering those storms will be close enough for a storm or 2 Friday – Sunday.  This won’t be the widespread rain we need to get rid of the severe drought, but at least there is a chance for rain.  Indianapolis is on pace to be the driest June on record, with only .05″ this month.  The driest is .36″ in June of 1988.
