Client Brief: Heavy Rain Increases Flood Potential Into The Weekend; Strong Wind Also A Concern…

Type: Heavy Rain & Strong Winds

What: Localized flood potential 

When: Friday and Saturday

Rain Amounts: 2.5″ to 3.5″ (localized heavier totals)

Wind: Variable 20-30 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH+ Saturday

Periods of moderate to heavy rain developed during the overnight and continue as we type this client brief this morning. Rain will continue for a good portion of today into tonight (locally heavy at times) before we likely go through a break in the rain early Saturday morning. That lull in the action won’t last long as rain is quickly expected to return by late morning and continue through the afternoon, into the early evening hours. What will already be a windy day today (30-40 MPH gusts) will only grow worse Saturday with some 50 MPH gusts a good bet.

As the surface low moves to our northeast, a cold front will sweep through the state Saturday evening and shut off the rain. Cooler air will move in to close the weekend.

Modeled forecast rainfall totals by 8p Saturday

Confidence: High

Next Update: Friday evening

Client Brief: Heavy Rain Arrives Friday Into Saturday…

Type: Heavy Rain

What: Localized flood potential

When: Friday into Saturday

Rain Amounts: 2.5″ to 3.5″ (localized heavier totals)

Wind: Variable 20-30 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH+

The National Weather Service has hoisted Flood Watches across central Indiana in advance of an approaching strong storm system that will present the greatest impacts, locally, in the Friday evening through Saturday morning time period.

Clouds will increase through the day tomorrow (after a sunny start) and light rain will likely follow by evening. Rain will increase in overall coverage and intensity and become heavy at times across central IN Friday morning. We may see a “lull” in the heavy rain Friday evening before widespread moderate to heavy rain returns overnight into Saturday. As things stand this evening, it appears as if the heaviest rainfall amounts will fall from Indianapolis and points west (and north) and the GFS forecast storm total rainfall amounts is our preferred solution this evening- including widespread 2.5″ to 3.5″ totals (locally heavier amounts possible) with this system. Localized flooding will likely result.

Precipitation will exit off to the northeast Saturday afternoon-evening and may end as a “touch” of wet snow across central Indiana (no significant impacts expected from a wintry precipitation standpoint). If traveling north, greater impacts from wintry precipitation can be expected across northern Indiana from a combination of sleet, freezing rain, and snow.

Confidence: High

Next Update: 7a Thursday
