Active times give way to a colder finish to the week
Thunderstorms Develop Tonight…A warm front is lifting through the state this morning and this could spark a few showers as it passes through central IN through the late morning hours. Most of today will be dry before heavier rains and embedded thunderstorms push into the region tonight into Sunday morning. By the way, don’t forget to set those clocks ahead an hour tonight ;-).
Rather unsettled weather will continue through the early and middle portions of the work week, but we caution timing is still up in the air. It’s an active regime that will require fine tuning. As things stand now, we forecast scattered showers and storms Monday and a mostly dry Tuesday. Gusty SW winds will pull anomalous warmth into the region Tuesday before storms blow into the state late Tuesday night/ Wednesday. This is in association with a cold front that will have things feeling much cooler around these parts to close the work week.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
Snowfall: 0.00″
Rainfall: 1.25″ – 1.75″ (locally heavier totals)

Good Sleeping Weather Tonight…Today will offer up scattered showers, but it’s really tonight through Thursday afternoon that has us focused for most widespread and heavier rain (along with embedded thunder). This is the first of two “slugs” of moisture that will provide hefty rain totals between now and early next week. The second surge of moisture will arrive late Saturday into the day Sunday. The trade off? An absolutely beautiful close to the work week.
Once we shake the rain early next week, we’ll really crank the thermometer. We expect middle 70s next Tuesday across most of central IN. We caution though that colder times loom around March 20th. Don’t put away the winter gear just yet…
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
Snowfall: 0.00″
Rainfall: 2.00″ – 2.50″ (locally heavier totals)

Enjoy Today’s Sun…Today looks to be the pick of the week, including mostly dry conditions and temperatures that will feel more like April. Find a way to get out and enjoy it!
Moisture will surge northeast into the region during the day Wednesday and a wavy front will sag south into the area to close the work week. The combination of a deep moisture transport out of the Gulf will help ignite locally heavy downpours. While questions are certainly there in regards to timing, we’re leaning more towards the optimistic side of things with this update…thinking enough dry air may invade the area for a mostly dry Saturday. This is an, admittedly, low confidence forecast.
Regardless of whether or not we can enjoy a mostly dry start to the weekend, moisture will stream back into the area for the second half of the weekend. Heavy rain and embedded thunder looks likely Sunday.
Mostly Cloudy Today; Brighter Sunday…A weak disturbance scooted through the region overnight and lead to a quick “pop” of mixed rain/ snow. As expected, this wasn’t a big deal. We’ll keep clouds around today, but introduce more in the way of sunshine Sunday (after morning fog).
A warmer SW flow will develop in the new week ahead and help transport much warmer air into the region, but this will also lead to an increasingly wet pattern. Spotty early week showers will give way to more widespread and heavier rains for the middle of the week. Timing is up in the air, but there’s the chance we get into some briefly drier air Thursday PM, but we caution it won’t last long as a new surge of moisture arrives to close the work week. We’ll also introduce thunder chances to wrap up the work week.
