Heavy, thundery downpours are likely in places later this week, bringing a risk of thunderstorms and flash flooding. With the ground still very dry after weeks of little rain, much of that water is expected to run off the surface rather than soak away, raising the flood risk further. It marks the last week of meteorological summer, with forecasters advising people to keep an umbrella handy

HISTORIC FLOODING IN ANDERSON, INDIANA. The White River is now at 24.93 feet, surpassing the previous record crest of 23.6 feet set during the Great Flood of 1913. Major flood stage is 19 feet here. At 24 feet, a record flood is in progress. This is historic, catastrophic flooding unfolding across Anderson and other communities in Indiana. And now, two different flood disasters are happening at the same time: record river flooding from days of runoff, while additional heavy rain is producing flash flooding across parts of central Indiana. River flooding is the slow-moving disaster, rising inch by inch and swallowing neighborhoods. Flash flooding can happen in minutes. Anderson is dealing with both. More live coverage from the flood zone on The Weather Channel.
