Many central Indiana neighborhoods are still in the 40s as of this update. Officially, the high so far today at IND has reached 50 and is more than 20 degrees below where we should be for this date.
The upper low continues to swirl over Iowa this afternoon and will help push a band of showers into central Indiana during the wee morning hours Friday. Additionally, the threat is there that a couple of the stronger showers Friday afternoon include some small hail with added instability and the very cold air aloft.
As we look ahead to the second half of May, don’t be surprised by a repeat performance in this weather pattern. We think brief ridging will be responsible for highs above the 80 degree mark the middle of next week, but the stage may be set for another stretch of unseasonably cool air to wrap up the month…. Additional details can be found in the video!

We’re locked into a cloudy, raw, and wet weather pattern and there’s no let up until later into the upcoming weekend. A big upper low is positioned across Iowa this morning and will remain the primary driver in our weather here through Saturday. Unseasonably chilly conditions, gusty northwest winds, and periods of drizzle and rain can be expected through the period. We’ll finally begin to shake the clouds and rain, but unseasonably cool air will linger into early next week. As for the pick of the weekend, it still easily appears to be Sunday, with mostly dry conditions, increased sunshine, and moderating temperatures. An additional one half to three quarters of an inch of rain will be possible between today and Saturday. Warmer times are ahead early next week as a warm front blows through the area with a possible shower or storm Tuesday.
