00:06Indiana.

00:20We're concerned about tonight in a similar area, a new round of very heavy rain will fall on super saturated
00:26ground,
00:27bumping more and more places into that four to eight inch range, but some spots into the double digits as
00:32well.

00:37Worst flooding there in 80 plus years in Anderson, Indiana.

00:49There will be a gradual transition, though, after the overnight round of storms, streaks across Illinois, Indiana into southern Ohio
00:55and northern Kentucky.
00:56There will be a buckling northward with the storm track, which will bring a little bit more of a break
