Even before the 0.07 inches of rain arrived overnight, conditions were and are moderately wet. A series of storms, some severe, dropped rain throughout the week, totaling 2.44 inches. Tuesday morning had 1.17 inches of rain and Friday morning has 0.88 inches from two storms that occurred the night before, the second being particularly violent spawning nine tornadoes in the Syracuse, Indiana NWS reporting area. Powerful straight-line winds combined with the tornadoes caused numerous extended power outages. Surface soils are moist with puddling persisting in drainage ditches and low-lying areas. Lawns are returning to a thick, lush green and are requiring more frequent mowing. In between storms, the weather has often been hot and humid which has made Lake Michigan beaches busy and more outdoor exercise is occurring in the morning when the weather is still pleasant. Crops continue to grow in soggy fields and local produce is still limited.
