It’s been an easy going summer so far from a heat and humidity standpoint, but that’s all about to change as we move through the upcoming week leading up to Independence Day.
An upper level ridge will dominate our pattern into the middle of next week.
This will serve to eliminate widespread rain and thunderstorm coverage across central Indiana during the short-term. (Isolated to widely scattered coverage is all we can expect this weekend into the early part of next week). Additionally, the hottest air of the summer season thus far is on deck. We’re expecting 5 of the upcoming 7 days to feature highs around the 90 degree mark. Humidity will also build into early next week with overnight lows not falling lower than the lower 70s some mornings.
As we look ahead, the upper ridge will begin to break down by the middle of next week and with that will come increasing chances for better coverage of showers and thunderstorms.
Longer term, we still anticipate the pattern to progress in a manner that will allow cooler and wetter conditions to return before mid-month. Our reasoning can be found in last night’s video update in case you missed it!
