Indianapolis, IN – A flood watch remains in effect across Central Indiana starting at 1 p.m. Sunday and lasting through Monday evening as heavy rain and thunderstorms threaten to bring flash flooding to the area.
According to the National Weather Service, multiple rounds of intense showers and thunderstorms are expected throughout the day and into Monday, each carrying the potential for significant rainfall. The excessive rain could lead to flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying areas. Locations such as Indianapolis, Lafayette, Bloomington, and Terre Haute are at risk, with flooding possible in both urban and rural communities.
Residents in affected areas should be prepared for rapidly rising water, particularly in flood-prone regions. The storm’s heavy rainfall may result in swift runoff, making driving conditions hazardous and increasing the likelihood of road closures. Low-lying roads and bridges could become impassable, especially near rivers and creeks.
The flood watch includes cities such as Carmel, Kokomo, and Muncie, where heavy rain could cause local flash flooding in a short amount of time. Authorities are urging people to monitor weather updates closely and be ready to act quickly if flash flood warnings are issued.
Stay safe by avoiding driving through flooded areas and keeping an eye on local road conditions. Further updates and possible warnings will follow as the storm progresses.
