SOUTH-CENTRAL, Ind. - The National Weather Service (NWS) in Indianapolis has issued a Flood Watch for most of Central, South-Central, and Southeastern Indiana from 7 p.m. on Tuesday through Wednesday at 10 a.m.

Due to the continuing rain, flooding is possible in Bartholomew, Johnson, Jackson, Jennings, Brown, Shelby, Decatur, and Marion Counties.   

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying/flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks.   

NWS says rainfall amounts through Wednesday morning are expected to generally be between 2 and 3 inches, with the potential for locally higher amounts.
