...A Flood Warning continues for portions of the following waterways 
in Indiana...

  East Fork White River...Wabash River...White River...


.Widespread flooding continues across Indiana as a result of period 
of rain over the last two weeks.  Some areas have seen rainfall 
amounts in excess of 10 inches. The crest on the Wabash River is 
near Terre Haute and near Elliston on the White River. The crest on 
the East Fork White River is between Bedford and Williams.

Moderate flooding is ongoing or expected for the lower portions of 
the Wabash, White, and East Fork White rivers through the middle of 
the week. Two to three inches of rain fell across these areas 
Saturday morning which is leading to crests slightly higher than 
initially expected.

Scattered showers are possible today with most areas staying dry 
through Sunday evening before additional rain moves into the area. 
Rainfall of around an inch is expected between Saturday and Tuesday 
with dry weather expected for the rest of the week which will allow 
rivers to fall.


Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...

Persons with interests in flood prone areas that are not protected by
levees should take precautions immediately. Keep children from 
flooded areas. Motorists should travel high ground routes and avoid 
roads that frequently flood.

Many roads in southern Indiana will be flooded by several feet of 
water. Do not even think about driving through flooded roads..You 
will not make it.
