The National Weather Service says a Flood Watch remains in effect from Thursday evening through Saturday morning for much of central Indiana.

Most portions of central Indiana are included in the Flood Watch including the counties of Bartholomew, Decatur, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Morgan, Rush and Shelby.

In south central Indiana, Brown, Jackson, Lawrence and Monroe along with Clay,Owen, Putnam and Vigo in the west central portion of the state.

The watch begins this evening and runs through Saturday morning.

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding.

Total rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches between Thursday evening and Saturday morning can be expected within most of the watch area. Locally higher amounts are possible. The greatest concern for high rain rates and therefore flooding will be Thursday and Friday night.
