It’s a cool, gloomy open to the work week. We’ll turn even cooler by mid week, BUT changes are coming that promise increasingly warm and sunny conditions by the weekend.…

Highlights:
Watching For Evening Storm Development…The morning has gotten off to a beautiful start across central IN, but the sunshine will likely be enough to help destabilize things just enough to assist in afternoon/ evening thunderstorm development. Additionally, a frontal boundary remains draped across the state and we’ll await a wave of low pressure to move along the front this evening. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible with large hail and damaging straight line winds the biggest concerns. We’ll keep an eye on the radar later today.
We’ll flip the page and turn much cooler for the upcoming week. Reinforcing cool air will be accompanied by showers at times through the mid week period, but we should turn drier late week (and eventually warmer).

Highlights:
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).

Highlights:
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.
