Heavy Rain & Strong Thunderstorms This Weekend

Heavy rainfall and strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible beginning Friday Night and continuing through Sunday. A low pressure system will move West of the area and will cause heavy rainfall to develop across the Ohio Valley as moisture surges North towards the Ohio River Valley.

Current indications are that between Friday Night and Monday, 3-5 inches of rain could fall across a large portion of the area with isolated higher amounts. Flooding is possible, and flash flood watches have been issued for Southern Indiana.

We will also be monitoring the possibility for strong to severe thunderstorms, and the Storm Prediction Center does have all of Indiana and Western Ohio outlined for a risk of strong to severe thunderstorms during the day on Saturday.
