Well I hope it’s dry up there cause all I’ve done is drive for two hours in rain and I’m in Indy now

At GC I-69 and some drizzle passed through @ 3pm and another bit of light drizzle (roads are dry) to move through now until 4:45. Looks dry after 5 pm. Should be a great night although cool like a football game.
