“Mostly cloudy with developing afternoon rain and highs in the middle 40s.” That’s a sentence that usually doesn’t evoke much bitterness or angst in the meteorological community. “The upcoming 4-6…

Increasing Sunshine…Early clouds and left over light rain will give way to afternoon sunshine Friday. All in all, a nice weekend is on the way! We can expect a sunny, mild, and breezy Saturday, but colder conditions await for the second half of the weekend. A dry cold front will sweep the state Saturday night and usher in a chilly Sunday.
A weak weather maker will scoot across the region Monday with a light rain or light snow shower and reinforcing chilly air.
Looking ahead, a cold front will take aim on the region Wednesday and we may be able to introduce just enough instability to promote an embedded thunderstorm as the boundary sweeps through the state. Cooler, showery weather can be expected Thursday.

Most of today will be dry, but light rain will build into central Indiana later this afternoon and evening. The key word here is light. Cloudy skies and cool temperatures…

A weak weather maker will impact Indiana and the Ohio Valley Thursday, especially during the afternoon into the overnight. Precipitation will be relatively light with most amounts around one tenth of an inch, or less. Note the light precipitation moving through the region Thursday with time stamps below of 7p Thursday and 1a Friday. Wet snow will mix in with the rain over northeastern IN tomorrow night.
A more active week is ahead, with a couple storm systems to track. Note forecast precipitation amounts increase from week 1 to week 2.
Heaviest rains target the lower Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley week 1 before shifting north week 2. The heavy precipitation axis points a finger from OK and AR through MO and IL, northern IN, and MI week 2.
Some of this heavier rain is just what the Doctor ordered for areas beginning to reflect abnormally dry conditions and/ or drought.
We track a weak, but cold system early next week that could deliver a touch of light wet snow Monday. The GFS led the way on this, but the European and Canadian have jumped on board with today’s runs.
Another (stronger) storm system is in the offing later next week. This should be the one that delivers heavy rains from the mid south on northeast.
Looking ahead towards late month into early April, temperatures will reflect the normal “roller coaster” regime for this time of year; however biased colder than normal. Note the excellent model consensus on the colder than average regime.

Clouds Increase; Light Rain Thursday…The day is off to a much colder start, but also a sunny one. Mid and high level cloudiness will slowly be on the increase as we progress through the day and these clouds will give way to some light rain Thursday. The culprit? An area of low pressure passing to our south. Enough cold air will be in place to create a transition to some wet snow across northeastern portions of the state late Thursday night into early Friday morning.
The area will enjoy a southwesterly air flow and associated milder air mass for the first part of the weekend, but a cold front will pass Saturday night and usher in a colder Sunday.
A fast moving storm system will scoot through central Indiana Monday and team up with the colder air in place to lead to a mixture of cold rain and wet snow. Precipitation amounts will be light with this system. We’re back to a dry, chilly theme Tuesday.

Cooler, But Dry Pattern…Monday was an absolutely gorgeous day! Unfortunately those picture-perfect conditions won’t last as a dry cold front passes early Tuesday. This will usher in a cooler and breezy St. Patrick’s Day, but nothing too terribly cold. Dry and chilly conditions remain Wednesday.
A southern storm system will draw close enough Thursday to increase our cloud cover along with a sprinkle or light shower. This won’t be a big deal.
The next item of note will be another mostly dry frontal passage Saturday night. Enough southerly flow will be in place Saturday to send temperatures into the lower 60s before the much colder air arrives Saturday night. This will set us up for a cold second half of the weekend.
