Today:
Clouds will continue to increase through the early morning hours. By late morning, precipitation arrives in central Indiana.

More precipitation rolls in this evening. South of I-70 it’s mostly rain. Around and north of I-70, it will likely be a wintry mix, with some light freezing rain possible.

A flood watch will go into effect tonight through Tuesday morning. With more rain on the way for Monday and Tuesday, to the tune of 1″-2″ of rainfall, expect more flooding issues.
