Flood Watch in effect until tonight

Southeastern IN — The area is under a Flood Watch until 11 o’clock tonight (Thursday).

The National Weather Service says flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible along rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying flood-prone locations.

Multiple rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms could result in one to three inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts possible.

Forecasters say people in the watch area should keep an eye on the weather and be prepared for immediate action should heavy rains and flooding occur or a Flash Flood Warning is issued.

You’re urged to avoid low-lying areas and be careful when approaching highway dips and underpasses.
