More Dry Hours Than Stormy…It’s hard to believe the long Labor Day holiday weekend is upon us. The unofficial end to summer (by the way, meteorological fall runs September through November) will wrap up on an unseasonably warm note. Southwesterly breezes will blow and transport plenty of warm and humid air northbound. Needless to say, It’ll feel unseasonably warm and humid and scattered thunderstorms will be around. High moisture content will help promote localized heavy downpours. That said, we’re certainly not looking at any sort of all day washouts by any stretch of the imagination. Get outside and enjoy the late summer warmth, but just be prepared in case a shower or storm briefly blows overhead.
Better Rain And Storm Chances…Best rain chances in the above forecast period will arrive Monday evening into Tuesday. This is when we anticipate most widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms, including the potential of a couple stronger storms and locally heavy downpours. Slightly less humid air will work into the picture by mid week.
Remaining Above Normal…Rain chances can’t be totally eliminated from your forecast late next week, but overall coverage will likely be diminished when compared to Tuesday. It’ll remain warmer than average with mid to upper 80s in the forecast (normal highs are around 80 this time of year) with a southeastern ridge in place. In fact, many thermometers may crack the 90 degree mark next Friday. We’re making up for lost time in the heat department…
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2.00″

Another slug of moisture will impact central Indiana Saturday. Not everyone will get wet and no all day rains are forecast, but there will be some periodic wet times.
