Pleasant Weekend; Summer-like Feel Next Week…

Highlights:

  • Drier trend develops
  • Warming up
  • Summer-like feel next week

This Is More Like It…High pressure will build into the region over the weekend.  With the exception of a weak disturbance that may kick up a couple showers across northeastern portions of the state Saturday, the balance of the upcoming 7-day period will be rain-free.  This extended dry spell is certainly well deserved and should continue into early next week.  Get out there and make the most of it!

A southwesterly air flow will help transport a warmer and increasingly muggy air mass into the region next week.  While we’ll need to keep an eye on this increasingly moist and unstable air mass for storm chances, we’re siding with a more “optimistic” approach to the forecast period and hold storm chances off until Thursday.  Regardless of storm chances, next week will certainly take on a more summer-like feel…to the delight of many!

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″ – 0.75″

Front Settles South…

A cold front will settle south today and lead to quite the temperature gradient across the state. Cooler north breezes will result in slowly falling or steady temperatures across the northern half of the state (upper 50s to lower 60s), while southern portions of Indiana rise into the lower and middle 70s this afternoon.

A new batch of showers will ride east and impact areas mainly along and south of I-70 as we move into late morning and early afternoon.  While some embedded thunder is possible, severe weather isn’t expected today.

Drier and cooler air wins out for all tonight and paves way for a gorgeous weekend ahead.  High pressure will support plentiful sunshine and comfortable conditions. More on the weekend and next week’s weather later today in an updated 7-day!
