Ice Storm/Flash Flooding

The next 36 hours are going to be very active as far as the weather is concerned across Indiana and Western Ohio. Heavy rain will get going by late morning on Monday. For that reason, every single county in Indiana and most of Western Ohio is under a Flood or a Flash Flood Watch.
 
By tomorrow night, the cold front will swing through the area bringing a shallow cold air mass with it, thus setting the stage for freezing rain and a major ice storm. It looks like areas North of Interstate 70 could see some major icing, with the most significant icing occuring along a corridor from Crawfordsville to Noblesville over to Muncie and Greenville, Ohio.
 
Between a half inch and an inch of ice accumulation is likely and this will cause damage to trees and powerlines. As the heavy freezing rain continues, it will only continue to aggrivate the flooding situation.
 
All I can say is Stay Tuned!
