Rounds of slow-moving, intense downpours, especially in the morning, could lead to areas of standing water.

Rainfall rates of up to two inches per hour were recorded in Indiana early Wednesday. Many areas could pick up 2-5″ of rain.

We will have intense, ongoing rain for the morning rush (focused in Indiana and parts of Kentucky) before a break. It looks like rain will be letting up by the end of the morning rush, before additional scattered storms in the afternoon.

The general storm track Wednesday should favor areas to the west and southwest for the highest totals.
