🚨 FLOOD WARNING - Indiana Weather 3/21 - Midday

·2 min
The episode opens with multiple flood warnings in effect across Indiana, impacting communities statewide. Host Aaron Jolly explains that while the weekend will stay dry, saturated ground from recent rains means rivers and streams remain swollen. Today's weather starts mild at 61 degrees and warms to a high of 79 degrees by 2pm, with southeast winds shifting to the south around 4pm. Tonight stays pleasant with temperatures dropping only to the mid-60s. Sunday continues above-normal temperatures before changes arrive Sunday night. Central Indiana enjoys the warmest conditions, with Indianapolis reaching 79 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Northeast Indiana runs slightly cooler, with Fort Wayne topping out near 75 degrees. Southwest Indiana sees similar warmth to the central north. South Indiana is set to enter its central region, with Evansville approaching 80 degrees this afternoon. Flood warnings remain most concentrated along river corridors in southern and central sections where recent heavy rains pushed waterways above flood stage. For outdoor plans today, conditions look excellent statewide with no rain expected. However, listeners are advised to avoid low-lying areas near rivers and streams where flooding continues. If planning to grill or work in the yard, this afternoon offers ideal weather. Sunday remains dry, but indoor alternatives should be ready for Sunday evening when showers and thunderstorms return, particularly south of I-70. The key takeaway is to enjoy the dry, warm Saturday and Sunday afternoon but stay away from flooded areas and prepare for active weather returning Sunday night. Listeners should check flood alerts for their specific location before traveling near any waterways.
