Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Strong to severe storm potential Wednesday
- Cooler Thursday
- Nice close to the week
- Another cold front delivers late storms Sunday then another pop of cool air
Monday afternoon turned wet across central IN as a disturbance lifted north across the state, including Gulf of Mexico moisture. Localized strong storms and torrential rainfall impacted many neighborhoods.
Coverage of showers and storms will be much less Tuesday, but we still will maintain an isolated storm as a possibility.
Attention will then shift to two cold fronts that will impact the region between mid week and early next week. Strong to severe storms are possible Wednesday afternoon and evening followed by much cooler air moving in for Thursday. We’ll keep a close eye on things. After nice weather Thursday through Saturday, another cold front will swing into the Hoosier state Sunday night/ early Monday with another round of showers and thunderstorms. Yet another pop of unseasonably cool air will follow to open next week.

Tonight’s “@cryptics Cam” shows a very nice time lapse of storms as they blew through Danville earlier today. Be sure to follow @cryptics on Twitter for awesome views of the sky and associated weather conditions here across central IN!

Highlights:
- Warm and humid
- Midweek storms may reach strong to severe levels
- Late week model differences
The second half of the weekend will feature plenty of warmth and humidity, but should be mainly dry. We’ll include mention of an isolated storm. Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will return to our forecast through the early week period and we’ll continue to keep a close eye on the potential of strong to severe thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday. Stay tuned.
As we look forward, there’s some disagreement with the evolution of things from mid to late week. The GFS is more progressive and delivers drier, cooler air to wrap up the week, while the European is a bit more sluggish. We’ll go with a blend for now, leaning more towards the GFS solution.

Highlights:
- Beautiful weather continues
- Warmth and humidity returns over the weekend
- Spotty weekend storm coverage
- Better storm chances ramp up next week
High pressure remains in control of our weather today and will supply lots of sunshine and continued low humidity. Get outdoors and enjoy if at all possible!
A frontal boundary will make a run at the region from the north Friday evening and may result in an increase in cloudiness, but we expect any shower and thunderstorm activity that may make it into northern portions of the state to dissipate upon moving into central Indiana.
Small upper level disturbances will have to be watched over the weekend for the potential of sparking an isolated to widely scattered storm, otherwise mostly dry conditions can be expected with continued sunny skies.

Highlights:
- AM fog gives way to lots of sunshine
- Early fall preview
- Warmer days return
- Spotty weekend storms possible
We still have warm to hot days left before we get into true fall air, but the next couple days will have many craving the autumnal season ahead. It’s not every year we can say mid August will feature lows in the mid to upper 50s and highs in the 70s, but that’s the case for Wednesday. Despite some patchy dense fog in spots, look for wall-to-wall sunshine today, continuing right through the end of the work week. Have an extra vacation day or two to use at work? Might we suggest burning them over the next 48-72 hours? 😉
Warmth and humidity will return heading into the weekend and on into early next week. Additionally, we’ll have to keep a close eye on weak upper level disturbances moving into the region. They may provide just enough “umph” to spark isolated storms over the weekend. Better coverage of thunderstorms can be expected early next week.
