Indianapolis, IN – Severe storms are actively moving across central Indiana Friday night, with impacts expected to continue through the early morning hours.
According to the US National Weather Service in Indianapolis, the primary threat window is now through approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, as storms bring damaging winds, heavy rainfall, large hail, and a chance for isolated tornadoes.
Storms have developed in a line after earlier supercell activity, increasing the risk for widespread wind damage. Wind gusts over 60 mph may down tree limbs and create hazardous driving conditions, especially along major corridors including I-65, I-70, and I-69.
Heavy rainfall is also leading to localized flooding on roads, particularly in low-lying and poorly drained areas. Drivers across Marion County and surrounding areas should expect reduced visibility, ponding on roadways, and possible sudden slowdowns during overnight travel.
While uncertainty remains around the strongest storm pockets, officials urge residents to stay weather-aware and avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm activity.
If warnings are issued, seek shelter indoors away from windows and monitor alerts closely.
