Indianapolis, Indiana – Scattered thunderstorms sweeping across central Indiana early Saturday are bringing gusty winds, lightning, and brief downpours, especially along the I-70 corridor. Conditions may affect travel through at least 8 a.m.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, the storms are tracking quickly from the southwest, with wind gusts reaching 35 to 45 mph. Cloud-to-ground lightning and pockets of heavy rain are expected in areas including Sullivan, Terre Haute, Greencastle, and Danville.
Early risers in Rockville, Martinsville, and Bloomington should use caution, as strong wind gusts may bring down small branches or blow around unsecured objects. Lightning could pose a risk to those outdoors, and rain may reduce visibility during the morning drive.
While storms are not expected to reach severe levels, their rapid movement and intensity could cause brief disruptions. Residents are urged to stay indoors if thunder is heard and avoid flooded roadways.
Conditions are expected to improve by mid-morning, though more showers may return later in the weekend. For the latest updates, visit weather.gov/ind.
