Our quiet weather pattern will come to a rather abrupt halt over the weekend as a heavy rain event unfolds late Saturday night through Monday morning. This evening’s video update walks through the various periods where more intense rainfall is expected:

A cold front will slip south through central Indiana over the next couple of hours. This will result in a much cooler feel when compared to the past couple of days, but still milder than normal for late-December. We’ll note temperatures generally holding steady in the mid 40s before falling into the 30s this evening.
As we flip the page to Saturday, changeable weather can be expected by evening. For the majority of the daytime, expect considerable cloudiness and cool conditions. Our wind direction will back around to the south Saturday night and this will result in rising temperatures (into the lower 60s by Sunday morning) along with periods of showers and thunderstorms developing during the overnight hours into Sunday.
We’ll keep close eyes on a secondary wave of moisture that will develop Sunday afternoon. While it still appears as if the bulk of the heavy rain associated with this secondary wave will remain to our east, portions of east-central Indiana can expect heavier storm totals. The large majority of central Indiana can expect total rainfall amounts of 0.75” to 1.25”, with 1.25” to 2” across east and southeast areas.
We’ll turn windy and colder for New Year’s Eve (northwest gusts of 30-40 MPH), but dry things out. Our next system of note won’t arrive until late next week.
More later this evening in our latest video update. Make it a great Friday!
