Happy Saturday all! Widespread rain and embedded thunder will overspread central IN as we progress through the morning hours. Steady rain will continue through the lunchtime hour before we see a break in widespread rains.
After a break in the rain, we’ll have to keep an eye on the potential of strong to severe storms developing this afternoon and evening (especially across southern IN). Hail and damaging winds are of greatest concern with storms that develop, but a tornado is also possible.
Another round of scattered thunderstorms will rumble across the state Sunday.
Widespread weekend rainfall totals should fall in the 1″-1.5″ range for most, but there will also be some locally heavier totals.
As we progress into the upcoming week, cool air will be the big weather story. Perhaps the coolest days will be next Thursday-Friday (lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s).

Highlights:
- Friday sunshine before clouds increase late
- Unsettled weekend
- Reinforcing cool air next week accompanied by showers
Enjoy The Sun While We Have It…A dry day is on tap and while it’s gotten off to a sunny start, clouds will be on the increase late today. Those clouds will deliver rain and scattered thunderstorms Saturday. Some of the rain may be locally heavy. We’re looking at widespread 1″-1.5″ totals, but there will be locally heavier amounts. While scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain Sunday, the wetter of the two weekend days is slated for Saturday.
The work week will start dry with increasing sunshine, but cooler. Reinforcing cool air will blow in Tuesday and again Thursday. Each cool air reinforcement could be accompanied by a scattered light shower. That said, next week looks significantly drier with compared to this week.

Noisy thunderstorms (non-severe) are impacting southern ‘burbs this morning, but dry time is coming as we get into the heart of the rush hour. This dry time will continue into the late morning hours, but renewed showers and thunder will likely fire yet again early this afternoon (in scattered fashion).
After an unsettled few days, we’ll get a break, albeit brief, from the wet, stormy times to close the work week. High pressure will present an increasingly sunny sky Friday, but it’ll be much cooler than today (mid 60s for highs Friday).
As mentioned, dry times won’t last long. Rain builds back in Saturday and lingers into Sunday. Locally heavy rain is possible, including embedded thunderstorms. Early rain numbers fall in the 1″-1.5″ range over the weekend.
As we open May, attention turns to a much cooler than normal feel of things. In fact, overnight data is particularly bullish on the chill next Thursday morning (suggests mid 30s).

Heaviest concentration of storms Tuesday was along the I-70 corridor and points south. We think today coverage of rain and thunderstorms will be more widespread across the state…
We’re off to a cool and quiet start this morning, but think things will turn rather busy yet again as early as the early-mid afternoon hours. Unsettled conditions will continue through the night.
Latest scans of the HRRR future-cast radar product suggests we need to monitor for high wind potential during the early to mid afternoon hours. We’ll keep a close eye on this.
The high resolution NAM future-cast radar is slower, but also shows strong to possibly severe storms into central IN late tonight.
The current SPC outlook highlights far southwestern IN for the chance of severe weather today. Don’t be surprised if this is expanded northeast with later updates today.
Rainfall potential today-tonight should feature many neighborhoods accumulating an additional inch, with some locally heavier totals.

Highlights:
- T-storms develop this afternoon
- Another round of showers and t-storms push in Wednesday afternoon/ evening
- Briefly drier Friday
- New storm delivers a wet weekend
Turning Noisy This Afternoon…It’s a relatively quiet start to the day across central IN, but a cold front will help ignite rather robust shower and thunderstorm development as early as the lunchtime hour. Storms will grow in intensity and coverage as we progress through the afternoon and evening, especially along I-70 and points south. Locally heavy rain will be likely. Stronger storms will be capable of producing hail and damaging winds.
Another round of showers and thunderstorms are on deck Wednesday afternoon and evening. When all is said and done by Thursday morning, widespread rain totals of 1″ to 1.5″ will be a good bet, with locally heavier amounts.
Friday will feature a beautiful close to the work week with drier air working in and some sunshine. That said, the sunny skies won’t last as showers and thunderstorms return over the weekend.

Highlights:
- Lots of sun through the daytime
- Storms rumble in late tonight
- Unsettled mid week pattern
- New storm delivers rain and wind this weekend
Beautiful Today; Storms Arrive Late Tonight…We couldn’t ask for better weather through the daytime today (despite a gusty SW wind), but chances for rather noisy thunderstorms increase late tonight into the predawn hours Tuesday. Unsettled conditions remain Tuesday, including scattered thunderstorms especially across the I-70 corridor and points south. Locally hefty downpours will be possible.
More widespread showers and embedded thunder are on tap Wednesday into Thursday, especially through the morning hours Thursday. Widespread 1″-1.5″ rain totals are a good bet between now and Thursday morning, with some locally heavier amounts.
We still think we get a briefly drier air mass in here to close the work week, but this won’t last long. Our next storm system is dialed up for a weekend arrival and will provide a stiff easterly breeze and rain Saturday PM through Sunday.
