Custom IndyWx.com Forecast Updated 04.16.14 @ 8:04a

Moderating After A Frigid Start. . .Today is off to a frigid start.  Average low temperatures are in the lower 40s for this time of year and we’re starting the day in the middle to upper 20s for many central Indiana communities.  Thankfully, with that powerful mid-April sun, temperatures will recover at least to the 50 degree mark- a far cry from the average high of 64.

We should remain dry Thursday along with temperatures another couple ticks higher.

Weak Friday System. . .A cold front will move through the area Friday and will result in increasing cloudiness along with scattered to numerous showers.  Rainfall amounts won’t be terribly impressive and we’ll forecast around a tenth to a quarter of an inch at this point.

We’ll dry things out Saturday with cooler northwest winds.

Next Storm System. . .Though we have some timing concerns, we’re thinking our next storm system will leave us dry for Easter Sunday before we introduce rain into Monday’s forecast.  Unlike Friday’s system, this storm will be able to tap more Gulf of Mexico moisture and as a result, heavier rains are possible early next week.  Stay tuned.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″-1.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Lake-Driven APRIL Snow Showers…

Hard to believe we were in the 70s just passed the midnight hour Monday morning.  Feels like temperatures are now in the teens with snow showers and embedded heavier squalls across central Indiana- some of which have resulted in periodic slick travel conditions.

Note the lake Michigan connection to the snow “streamers” with that famous northwest to southeast orientation in this morning’s visible satellite image.

Highs today will struggle to reach 40 in many locations with wind chills in the teens and 20s.  A hard freeze is on tap tonight as all go into the middle to upper 20s.

Slow moderation will begin Wednesday…
