NORTH WEBSTER — The National Weather Service in North Webster is predicting more rain is likely through Saturday across much of northern Indiana that could result in fresh flooding.

Much of northern Indiana is under a flood watch beginning Tuesday night, with storms, heavy rain, and hail possible overnight, the National Weather Service said this afternoon.

A flood watch is in effect from 8 p.m. Tuesday until Wednesday night, the weather service said.

Recent rains caused flooding in low-level areas ten days ago and the area has not fully recovered.

Although water levels continue to fall in many areas, soils are saturated with areas of standing water still existing, the weather service said.

Chances for heavy rain increase tonight into Wednesday to bring the threat or renewed flooding to the watch area, the weather service said.

High temps for the next few days will remain the low 70s.
