Central Indiana will be hot (again) Wednesday. Here's what time the heat will be at its worst
Despite a chance for showers and thunderstorms, heat index values — what the temperature actually feels like — will be as high as 100 to 105 each day until Friday, June 27, according to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
Meteorologists have urged Hoosiers to stay indoors where it's cool and to drink plenty of water while a heat advisory remains in effect for dozens of Indiana counties.
Forecasters say it could be a while before temperatures cool off in Central Indiana. Here's how hot it could get on Wednesday, June 25.

Temperatures Wednesday will reach highs in the low 90s, but when you factor in humidity it will feel more like 100 degrees, according to NWS meteorologist Aaron Updike. Overnight temperatures, he said, won't help matters.
"The thing that we're watching are the temperatures occurring overnight. They're failing to fall below 77 degrees most nights, and that's having a cumulative effect in not allowing those without air conditioning to get some relief," Updike said. "That causes a lot of stress on vulnerable communities."
Indianapolis has opened several cooling centers with air conditioning to help residents avoid heat exhaustion. A full list of these centers can be found online at Parks.Indy.gov.
For Hoosiers who want to avoid the worst of the heat, Updike said, temperatures Wednesday will reach their hottest between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. That's when the heat, he said, will feel anywhere from 100 to 105 degrees across Central Indiana.

Multiple rounds of storms likely in Kansas City. Heavy rain is possible
Multiple rounds of hit-and-miss showers are possible in the Kansas City area on Monday, with some of the storms expected to be strong to severe, according to the National Weather Service. The strongest storms are expected to be in areas east of Interstate 35 and Interstate 49, with damaging winds being the primary threat, according to the weather service. The storms are expected to arrive between 8 and 10 a.m. in the western part of the Kansas City forecast area, with the storm activity moving east across the region through the rest of the morning and into the afternoon, the weather service said. By mid- to late morning, a cold front will push into portions of northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas and meander across Missouri through the day and evening hours, the weather service said in its forecast discussion. The front is expected to trigger additional scattered showers in the area through the remainder of the day. The Kansas City metro area and surrounding areas to the north are under a flood watch until 1 p.m., as excessive runoff may lead to flooding. The strongest storms will be capable of producing torrential rainfall, and if they linger over the same areas, isolated flash flooding may be possible. The storms will keep temperatures more seasonable, reaching the mid-80s on Monday, which is a few degrees below the average of 87 degrees for this time of year. 'Overall storm activity diminishes this evening, giving way to what should be a pleasant Tuesday with highs in the mid-80s and dew points falling back into the upper 50s and low 60s instead of the 70s of late,' the weather service said. While it will be generally comfortable early in the week, warmer and more humid weather is expected through the July 4th holiday. Temperatures are expected to be around 89 degrees on Wednesday, 92 degrees on Thursday, and 93 degrees on July 4th, with heat index values reaching 100 degrees by the holiday. 'Precipitation chances begin to creep back into the picture late week, though prevailing sentiment of synoptic guidance currently keeps the area on the dry side through Friday/4th of July,' the weather service said.

Some central Ohio counties see washed out roads, evacuations due to heavy rains, flooding
Washed out roads, evacuations and water rescues spanned three counties in central Ohio after heavy rain on June 1. Meanwhile, heavy rain from what appears to the last storm of a lingering front moved through Delaware County and had entered Franklin County about 8:45 p.m. Fairfield, Pickaway and Ross counties all saw flooding in some areas on July 1. While much of the water has receded and some roads have reopened, other roads have been damaged or wiped away, and some counties still remain on alert for flood damage and more possible incoming rain in the region. Here's what we know about the impact of heavy, sustained rains on July 1 in those counties: While most of the floodwaters had receded in Ross County by evening on July 1, McDonald Hill Road in Frankfort was completely washed away, as were parts of County Road 550, said Josh Garrett, deputy director of the Ross County Emergency Management Agency. He said it's not clear when those roads will be repaired, and at least one family was evacuated from their home in Frankfort. Approximately 2.4 inches of rain fell throughout the day in the area, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. The American Electric Power map showed 735 customers without power in Hopetown, an unincorporated village in Ross County just north of Chillicothe, and in northern Chillicothe. The estimated restoration time was 10:30 p.m. on July 1. In Pickaway County, at least seven homes were evacuated by rising waters and two water rescues were conducted due to people driving through flood waters, reported Tiffany Nash, director of the Pickaway County Emergency Management Agency. While much of the water has since receded, Nash said several roads were still closed, including parts of Kingston Pike to Gay Dreisbach Road, Hayesville Road to Route 56. Winchester Southern Road from Heigle Road to Stoutsville Pike was completely washed out, she said. Garrett Blevins, deputy director of the Fairfield County Emergency Management Agency, said most of the roads closed over the course of July 1 were reopened in Fairfield County. However, Winchester Southern Road in Stoutsville, where much of the flooding occurred, was mostly closed south of Main Street, he said. Bowers Road in Clear Creek Township, where much of the heavy rain fell, was also closed between the cross sections of Route 159 and Amanda-Southern Road.

Alligator Alcatraz opened Tuesday ready for a hurricane – but not a summer shower
Alligator Alcatraz opened Tuesday without a water view. Then it rained. Shortly after President Donald Trump left the brand new detention facility to hold immigrants in the middle of the Everglades, a garden-variety South Florida summer rainstorm started. The water seeped into the site — the one that earlier in day the state's top emergency chief had boasted was ready to withstand the winds of a 'high-end' Category 2 hurricane — and streamed all over electrical cables on the floor. 'For those people that don't think we're taking that into consideration. This is Florida, by the way,' Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, had told reporters earlier in the middle of Trump's visit. 'We have a hurricane plan.' But perhaps not a plan for about an inch-and-a-half of rain, which is what fell over the site on Tuesday afternoon, according to estimates from the National Weather Service in Miami. Video footage from Spectrum News television reporter Jason Delgado showed the flooding within Alligator Alcatraz. Another witness said the rain lasted about 45 minutes. The storm was so strong that at one point the roof was shaking as the rain pounded down, drowning out Gov. Ron DeSantis' voice as he spoke to reporters. Rainfall seeped through the edges of the facility as the roofs and walls trembled. Drips leaked from above a door frame. The water spread under poles hoisting the Florida and U.S. flags. The Florida Department of Emergency Management, the governor's office and the attorney general's office did not immediately respond to Miami Herald questions Tuesday evening about how the facility is set to handle flooding from storms. Gov. Ron DeSantis said he hoped detainees could arrive at Alligator Alcatraz as early as Wednesday. An appraisal of the Miami-Dade County-owned site from May said the area is prone to deep flooding, even outside of hurricane season. Florida tasked its emergency department with the building of Alligator Alcatraz. Guthrie said that there were backup generators, a staff village that could house up to 1,000 people, hot meals 24/7, and a medical facility with a pharmacy services. There are also on-site emergency fire and medical services. 'Getting things done quickly, efficiently and correctly is at the core of our mission,' Guthrie said before the rain came. 'We simply just want to be the best at what we do in the nation.'
