Evening Storms and Flooding Keep Central Indiana Under Weather Watch

INDIANAPOLIS | Central Indiana remained under weather pressure Monday evening as storms and flooding concerns continued across parts of the region.

National Weather Service and local alert listings showed flood and storm-related products for several central Indiana counties during the late afternoon and evening, including flood warnings and flood watches affecting areas that include Marion County.

Earlier storms produced repeated rounds of rainfall, and some alerts warned that flooding from excessive rainfall was expected or possible. Drivers should not attempt to cross flooded roads.

This is a practical evening weather update, not a new CGN-issued warning. Official watches, warnings, advisories and statements come from the National Weather Service and NOAA.

The main reader message is simple: rain can create dangerous travel even after the strongest storms move away. Flooded roads can hide washouts, stalled vehicles and fast-moving water.

People with evening commutes, youth practices, events or errands should check official alerts before traveling and allow extra time.

Outdoor items should be secured when storms are nearby, and residents should move indoors when thunder is heard. Lightning can strike outside the heaviest rain core.

Flooding risk is especially important around low-water crossings, underpasses, creeks, poor-drainage streets and construction zones.

Central Indiana is also in Heat Safety Week, but Monday’s immediate hazard was water and storms rather than heat.

CGN Weather will continue to treat official NWS and NOAA products as the source of truth for alert status, timing and public-safety instructions.
