Indianapolis, IN — The flash flood watch in central Indiana will come to an end Saturday night, but the unpredictable spring weather is far from over. Sunday brings the potential for sleet and freezing rain, making roads hazardous for travel.
According to the National Weather Service, the region can expect another round of icy conditions, particularly in the early morning hours of Sunday. While the rain will taper off after the weekend’s thunderstorms, temperatures will drop to near freezing, creating a risk for slick roads and bridges. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel early Sunday.
The flash flood watch, which has been in effect since earlier this week, expires at 8:00 p.m. Saturday, with rainfall totals of up to two inches in some areas contributing to the potential for flooding. Residents should still be vigilant for standing water or flooded roads, even after the watch ends.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, temperatures will rise slightly, but the lingering chill will persist into early next week. Expect a dry and sunny Monday, with highs reaching into the low 50s, followed by a gradual warm-up as we head into mid-April. However, the transition from wet weather to more stable conditions may bring a few more rainy days later in the week.
Stay informed and prepared as Indiana’s spring weather continues to bring unexpected shifts in conditions.
