Category: 7-Day Outlook
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.

Highlights:
- Afternoon light shower possible
- Very humid, tropical feel this weekend as things heat up
- Splash and dash weekend storms
- T-storms likely with a cold front Monday
We’re off to a pleasant start today, but clouds will increase this afternoon with a light shower possible, particularly from the city and points north. Most of today will be dry.
The big story this weekend will be a much more humid feel. While it’ll be hot, it won’t be anything out of the ordinary for late July around these parts. That said, factor in a dew point in the lower to middle 70s and it’ll feel extremely oppressive. A warm front will pass Friday morning with a thunderstorm threat, and then we’ll also mention a widely scattered thunderstorm during the afternoon/ evening through the weekend.
A cold front will move in Monday with more widespread showers and thunderstorms, along with a return to “average” temperatures by the middle of next week.

Highlights:
- Another round of PM storms
- Cooler; drier stretch of weather midweek
- Storms rumble Friday as hot and humid weather builds
- Hot and very humid weekend
One more round of showers and thunderstorms will fire this afternoon, some of which may be strong to severe. Thankfully, needed drier (and cooler) air will build in tonight and help set up a very pleasant mid week.
With all of the rain, hot weather fans haven’t been able to enjoy much in the way of significant summer heat this summer; however, things will change (briefly) this weekend. Very humid air will expand into the region over the weekend, including true summer heat as highs go into the lower 90s both Saturday and Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms may accompany the push of hot, humid air, Friday but we think the weekend will be dry at this point.
The hot, humid weather won’t last long as a cold front moves in Monday with widespread showers and thunderstorms. A much cooler air mass will return next week behind the frontal boundary.

July 12, 2015
Highlights:
- Another round of strong to severe storms rumble in tonight
- Significant severe weather outbreak Monday
- Storms and flood threat continue Tuesday
- Drying out and turning hot late week
A very active weather pattern will remain through the short-term. Overnight storms have exited to the southeast and we’re now dealing with dry weather and sunshine. A few storms could bubble up this afternoon in the very humid air mass, but the more widespread showers and thunderstorms will hold off until late tonight as another northwest to southeast moving complex rumbles in. Similar to early this morning, flash flooding will be a concern, along with the potential of damaging wind, and hail.
Perhaps more concerning is what we think will be a secondary thunderstorm complex Monday evening into Monday night. Furthermore, conditions appear to favor the threat of a couple super cells developing in advance of the big storm cluster. These individual super cells will have the potential of producing tornadoes and large hail. We’re then concerned of a widespread damaging wind threat with the large storm complex as it moves southeast. Torrential rains and flash flooding will also be a big concern.
Showers and thunderstorms will continue Tuesday, but there’s a light at the end of this wet tunnel by mid week. We forecast a few days of dry weather in the Wednesday through Saturday time period. As ridging expands, heat and humidity will build in a big time way. For those holding out for true summer heat, next weekend may be your time! That said, the long range pattern still supports a wetter/ cooler than normal regime quickly returning so enjoy!
