Flood Warning

Flood Statement
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
1240 PM EDT Fri Mar 24 2023

...The Flood Warning is extended for the following rivers in
Indiana...Illinois...

  Wabash River.

.Rainfall totals of an inch to an inch and a half north of I-70 and
two to three inches along and south of there over the past two days
will  combine with additional rainfall tonight to produce moderate
river flooding along the lower White River and nearby tributaries.
Widespread minor river flooding is expected along the Wabash and
East Fork White, with potential for moderate flooding at Seymour on
the East Fork White. Until the heavy rainfall exits the area late
tonight there remains potential for locally heavy rain to make the
flooding worse over southern parts of central Indiana.

arrive on upper portions of the rivers early to late in the weekend
and start working their way downriver. Minor flooding is expected to
last on main stem rivers well into next week.

Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive
cars through flooded areas.
