Indianapolis, Indiana – Heavy rain could slow your Friday, August 1, morning commute as a Flood Advisory remains in effect until 8 a.m., with showers continuing through early daylight hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, rainfall totals overnight into Friday could exceed one inch in some areas, leading to ponding on roads and flash flooding, especially near Interstate 70 and low-lying areas. Rain ends by mid-morning Friday as skies gradually clear, setting up a sunnier, drier weekend ahead.
Friday will turn mostly sunny by afternoon, with a high near 79°F. Northwest winds may gust up to 18 mph, helping dry out saturated areas. If you’re traveling or commuting Friday morning, use caution on flooded streets and avoid underpasses. Areas in Marion, Hancock, and Hendricks counties may see residual water issues through midday.
Saturday and Sunday will deliver a much-needed break from storms. Expect mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 80s, perfect for outdoor plans. Light winds and low humidity will make for a comfortable weekend.
Looking ahead, scattered storms return by Monday afternoon, with daily chances of rain continuing through Wednesday. While not widespread, isolated thunderstorms could bring brief downpours and gusty winds during this first week of August.
