ndianapolis, IN – Central Indiana is bracing for multiple rounds of rain expected to continue through Sunday night, bringing a potential for up to three inches of accumulation and possible localized flooding.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, rainfall will intensify starting Friday night, with the heaviest bands focused over west-central counties including Terre Haute, Rockville, and Sullivan. Areas along a stalled frontal boundary could experience repeated showers through late Sunday, increasing flood risks.
Rain totals across central Indiana are forecast to range between 1 and 3 inches, with isolated areas potentially exceeding that amount. The Weather Prediction Center has placed much of the state under a slight risk for excessive rainfall on Saturday, meaning rapid-onset flooding could occur near saturated or poor-drainage areas.
Communities such as Indianapolis, Lafayette, and Bloomington should prepare for ponding on roads and potential travel disruptions throughout the weekend.
Drivers are urged to slow down in wet conditions and never attempt to cross flooded roadways. Residents are encouraged to monitor forecasts and have emergency kits ready in case conditions worsen.
