Southeast Indiana, IN – Southeast Indiana residents should prepare for high winds Friday as gusts up to 50 MPH are expected from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., impacting travel along I-70. The National Weather Service reports that the remnants of Tropical Storm Helene will bring both wind and rain, increasing the risk of difficult driving conditions and light property damage.
Motorists, especially those in high-profile vehicles, are advised to avoid I-70 during peak wind hours. The combination of gusty winds and wet roads could cause significant travel delays and increase the risk of accidents. Local authorities recommend securing loose objects outside homes and preparing for potential power outages, as tree limbs and unsecured items may be blown around.
The strongest winds are expected to hit areas south and east of the Cincinnati Tri-State, but all of Southeast Indiana could see hazardous conditions throughout the day. Those planning to travel should stay updated with local weather alerts and consider rescheduling trips to avoid the storm. For the latest information, monitor the National Weather Service and local news for updates.
