Active weather warnings for Indiana

# Indiana Storm Center Report – August 15, 2026

Indiana is experiencing a significant severe weather event with multiple hazards impacting the state. A strong thunderstorm moving east at 40 mph near Frankfort is bringing winds exceeding 40 mph that could topple trees and knock down limbs across central Indiana, including Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville. More critically, widespread flash flood warnings are in effect across multiple counties through midday and early afternoon, with rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour expected. Hancock, Delaware, Henry, Madison, Hamilton, and Tipton counties are under flash flood warnings, threatening urban areas, highways, and low-lying regions. The west-central counties of Fountain, Warren, and Montgomery are experiencing the heaviest rainfall, with up to 2 inches already fallen. A flood watch remains active through Sunday morning for much of central Indiana, and northern Indiana's White County faces additional flooding risks from upstream dam releases. Residents should avoid flooded roadways, secure outdoor objects, and monitor conditions closely.

Are Indiana rivers high or low right now?

Compare the statewide percent-of-normal on this page: above 100% means Indiana rivers are running higher than the seasonal average for the date, below 100% means lower (a dry spell or drought). Each gauge also shows its own percent of median.

Where does the Indiana streamflow data come from?

The U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System. USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes) and the data is the canonical real-time record for U.S. rivers. Snoflo pulls the latest readings and joins them to a 7-day NOAA weather forecast for each station.

What is cfs?

Cubic feet per second — the standard unit for streamflow. One cfs is about 7.5 gallons per second. Small creeks run at single-digit cfs; the Mississippi at hundreds of thousands.

What does Gauge Height mean?

The water level at the gauge in feet above the reference datum. Used together with discharge to track river state. Flood stage and runnable levels are typically expressed in gauge height (e.g., "flood at 16 ft").

How fresh is the Indiana data?

USGS streamgauges report every 15 minutes; Snoflo re-pulls throughout the day. The AI briefing regenerates daily.

Can I get a flow alert for a Indiana gauge?

Yes. Save any USGS gauge as a favorite in the Snoflo iOS app, set a discharge or stage threshold (e.g. "alert me when discharge crosses 2,000 cfs"), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.

Is this a substitute for an NWS flood warning?

No. Snoflo is informational. For flood life-safety decisions always follow guidance from your local NWS forecast office and state emergency management. Snoflo data is one input among several.
