Indianapolis, Indiana – Heavy rains overnight have triggered isolated flooding concerns across north central Indiana, but residents can expect relief by mid-morning Thursday as rainfall gradually eases.
According to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, flood risks will remain elevated through the morning commute due to overnight rainfall. Drivers in cities like Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville should be particularly cautious of standing water on roadways and watch for potential flooding in low-lying areas until approximately 10 a.m.
As the rain moves out, significantly cooler weather will take its place, setting the stage for an exceptionally sunny weekend.
