The Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon timeframe looks particularly wet with up to 3 inches of rain possible south of I-70. This is also where the National Weather Service has issued a flood watch.
If you come across a flooded roadway, turn around, don’t drown. If you have a basement that is prone to flooding when it rains a lot, be sure to check your sump pump to make sure it is working.
