As remnants from tropical storm Isaac enter Indiana, Hoosiers can expect a wet weekend.
The storm system hit Arkansas Thursday and is bringing heavy rain to Missouri. It will continue moving toward Indiana during the holiday weekend.
Fox59 meterologist Brian Wilkes said rain would increase around midnight with isolated downpours possible through early Saturday.
Hoosiers will get a break Saturday afternoon, although scattered thunderstorms are possible. Rain is expected to intensify Saturday evening. The heaviest rain will hit western Indiana and eastern Illinois.
Tropical storm remnants can bring widespread showers and thunderstorms, and they could produce torrential rainfall that leads to flash flooding, gusty winds and dangerous lightning.
Rain showers and scattered thunderstorms will likely reach Central Indiana during the overnight hours, according to the National Weather Service. Friday’s storms are not expected to be severe, but lightning is still a threat from any thunderstorm.
Isaac, which slammed into the Gulf Coast as a Category 1 hurricane Tuesday, has now weakened and is expected to move over southern Missouri later Friday.
The storm killed at least three people and more than 827,000 customers were without electricity across Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi as of late Thursday, utility companies said.
Isaac made landfall on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated Louisiana seven years ago. That hurricane churned through the Gulf of Mexico and overwhelmed levees, resulting in 1,800 deaths.
