Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Thundery Wednesday
- Much more refreshing feel to close the week
- Storm chances return early next week
A cold front will move through the region Wednesday afternoon and evening. The front will slice into a very warm and humid air mass so strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, especially late morning into the afternoon/ evening. We’re not forecasting widespread severe, but with all of the moisture in the atmosphere, locally heavy rain and additional flash flooding can’t be ruled out.
At any rate, a much more pleasant feel can be expected to wrap up the work week. We note dew points plunge from the upper 70s Wednesday morning into the upper 50s Thursday morning. Talk about nice!
While we have to maintain a mention of a shower over the weekend, the majority will be rain-free. The pesky NW flow aloft may push a weak disturbance into central IN so we have to mention the threat of an isolated shower Saturday into Sunday.
Looking ahead, next week is potentially an active one, including a heavy rain threat followed by a big push of early August cool air.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ – 2″ (locally higher totals under storms)

Highlights:
- Beauty of a close to the work week
- Humidity and storm chances return this weekend
- Turning hot ahead of a cold front next week
We simply can’t ask for more beautiful weather this time of year than what we’ll enjoy to wrap up the work week. (3 day weekend, anyone)? Make time to spend outdoors today!
Warmth and humidity will be on the uptick this weekend and with the increasingly humid air, isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms can be expected. That said, there’ll be more dry time than not this weekend so there’s no need to cancel any of those outdoor plans.
Heat will build early next week, along with continued “splash and dash” storm coverage- particularly of the PM variety. Best rain and storm chances should come Thursday as a cold front draws near.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 1.00″ (locally heavier totals under stronger storms)

Highlights:
- Stretch of dry, beautiful, weather continues
- Warming up and turning more humid this weekend
- Isolated storm chances by Sunday
Beautiful weather continues today, thanks to a big area of high pressure. It almost feels like early fall out there this morning (and we’re certainly not complaining).
Overall, we’re looking at dry weather continuing into the weekend. There’s a weak disturbance that will pass Thursday and could spark an isolated shower, but we don’t think this will be a big deal in the least.
Temperatures will be on the uptick this weekend along with humidity levels and isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms can be expected Sunday before better rain chances Monday.

Highlights:
- Lingering storms downstate Tuesday
- Nice stretch of late-summer weather coming
- Spotty weekend storm coverage
Though we have rain pelting the window panel as I type this (late Monday night), a drier pattern is waiting on deck and will begin to engulf the region Tuesday. We’ll note redevelopment of isolated to widely scattered storms downstate Tuesday afternoon, but most of central IN will remain dry. It’s only the beginning of a nice and dry stretch that will take us through the end of the work week. Thank sprawling high pressure centering itself over the Ohio Valley.
Moisture will return over the weekend so it’ll feel more humid and heat will build. Add in the humidity with a passing disturbance and we have to mention at least widely scattered coverage of storms Saturday afternoon and Sunday.

Highlights:
- Hot and humid today
- Scattered strong to severe storms Sunday
- Unsettled early next week
After another wild evening of storms and flooding across central IN it’s good to see the sun shining this morning. We think today will be a mostly dry day across the region, but will be plenty hot and humid. Certainly plan to take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water if you’re planning any lengthy outdoor activities today.
The break in the wet, stormy weather won’t last long as scattered to numerous thunderstorms return Sunday, including more hefty rainfall totals possible. A few storms may become severe with damaging wind and large hail.
Early next week will remain unsettled, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a drier regime by the middle of the week.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2″ – 2.5″
