Heavy rain continues Wednesday morning
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — An additional 1″ of rainfall will be possible through lunchtime, Wednesday.
This morning:
An area of low pressure continues to swirl in southern Indiana. Creating scattered showers and thunderstorms through here early this morning. Some heavy downpours have been noted. There is a flood advisory effect for much of the metro area until mid-morning. Some areas have picked up as much as 3 inches of rainfall since Tuesday afternoon. An additional 1″ of rainfall is possible for this morning.

Wednesday:
Scattered showers and a few isolated areas of thunderstorms will continue for at least the first half of the day. The low will gradually pull away by the afternoon, taking the rain with it. I do expect cloud cover to hang tough as we go through the majority of the day.
