Indiana and Ohio Flash Flood Warning Issued as Heavy Rain Continues

The National Weather Service upgraded flash flood watches to warnings for multiple counties in Indiana and parts of Ohio as heavy thunderstorms are expected to dump between 1 and 4 inches of rain. The advisory area includes Indiana counties such as Dearborn, Fayette, Franklin, Ripley, Union, Wayne and Ohio counties including Butler, Clinton, Fayette, Greene, Hamilton, Montgomery, Preble, and Warren. Residents in low‑lying and poorly drained locations are urged to avoid driving through flooded roads, heed “turn around, don’t drown” advice, and monitor local forecasts for updates.

The flash flood warning covers the period until early evening, with potential impacts ranging from minor street flooding to rapid runoff flooding rivers, creeks, and streams. Authorities advise people near creeks or streams to take precautions and stay alert for changing conditions.
