US · Published Aug 12, 2026
The Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has issued Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion #1007, highlighting the potential for flash flooding across central Indiana, southern Ohio, central West Virginia, and northeast Kentucky.
As of 9:02 AM EDT on August 11, 2026, multiple thunderstorm complexes are tracking southeast through the region.

Impact & Risks

Flash flooding is likely in areas with saturated ground from previous rainfall, particularly in southeast Ohio and parts of Indiana. The heavy rainfall could overwhelm drainage systems, leading to localized flooding in urban and low-lying areas. Back-building convection and convective training are expected to exacerbate the risk, with additional rainfall totals of 2-3 inches or more possible. Residents in the affected areas should remain vigilant, especially in flood-prone zones.
