🛑🚧Upcoming road closure information from INDOT🚧🛑

S.R. 109 to close for pipe construction.

NOBLE COUNTY, Ind. - The Indiana
Department of Transportation announces the closure of State Road 109 for pipe construction.
Starting on or after June 29, crews will work on replacing a pipe liner at Crandall Creek between W. 200 S. and W. 350 S.

Work on the project is expected to last for approximately two weeks. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.

During the closure, S.R. 109 will be closed to through traffic between U.S. 33 and U.S. 30. Drivers should use the official detour of U.S. 30, State Road 9 and U.S. 33, or seek an alternate route.

INDOT encourages drivers to consider safety for all by slowing down, using extra caution and driving distraction-free when travelling in and around all work zones.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to southern Indiana and Illinois (including their own Albion), where a tornado outbreak continues.

Tornado Warning for Gibson, Spencer and Warrick County in IN until 10:00pm CDT.

Two things happened that kept us from getting really stomped in northern Indiana. Both were in the forecast as possible, but no one expected the front to sink so far to the south, taking a lot of the severe weather with it. Second, the first line produced a large amount of steady rain, which reduced the energy available to the second, more threatening line. Fingers crossed for other areas of Indiana and the Midwest, which are getting hit pretty hard.

The more significant severe weather threat has shifted further south, focused in the tornado watch area ( #344) until 1 am ET. Prolonged widespread rain today kept the environment in our area more stable (less conducive for severe). The best threat for severe weather in our area this evening will be in the northern portions of the watch area. Locations near the Michigan State Line will see more of a heavy rain, localized flooding threat. Closer to the watch area there is still an isolated severe threat, but confidence is lower. Down towards Indianapolis, the higher-end threat remains.
