Heavy rains and possible flooding on our way

The National Weather Service says there is a danger of heavy rain and flooding starting Tuesday and going into the rest of the week in central and southern Indiana.

All of our local counties are in the area of concern, including Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson and Shelby counties.

A warm front is expected to arrive early Tuesday and continue on through Tuesday night with a cold front passing through central Indiana later Tuesday. Those systems, combined with very moist air could lead to heavy rain. The agency says 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible tomorrow and that will be falling on already saturated ground. Both areal and river flooding are possible.

The exact locations for the high water are not yet clear, nor the severity, according to the weather service.
