Indianapolis, IN — A soggy morning is underway across central Indiana as showers and isolated thunderstorms continue pushing eastward. The National Weather Service reports that the heaviest rainfall early today is occurring near and along the I-70 corridor, with brief bursts of pea-sized hail already observed in a few stronger storms.
Forecasters expect rain and intermittent thunderstorms to continue through much of the day. While widespread severe weather is not anticipated, additional pockets of small hail remain possible, especially where more robust cells develop later this morning and into the afternoon.
Radar imagery shows a large area of moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall stretching from Terre Haute to Indianapolis, with scattered thunderstorms embedded within the broader rain shield. The steady precipitation may lead to localized ponding of water, particularly in poor-drainage areas and low spots on roads. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time and remain cautious in areas where standing water develops.
Temperatures are expected to remain seasonably cool under the widespread cloud cover, and conditions should gradually improve by evening as the rain shifts farther east.
Residents across central Indiana should monitor updates and stay alert for any rapidly developing storms capable of producing small hail or brief downpours.
