Custom IndyWx.com Forecast Updated 04.09.14 @ 8:31a
Sunshine Returns; Warming Up. . .Instability-driven thundershowers developed Tuesday afternoon across central Indiana and even produced small hail in a few locations, especially east of the city. Thankfully though the sunshine we experienced Tuesday evening is a sign of things to come for the mid week stretch. We forecast a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky both today and Thursday, along with moderating temperatures.
A strong southwest breeze will help usher in potentially the first 70 degree day of the year Thursday. We also note winds may gust upwards of 30 MPH (especially in the open country) Thursday afternoon.
Late Week Front. . .A cold front will move through the region during the day Friday. Latest model data suggests a little more moisture will be available than we thought earlier this week and as a result we’ll hit the shower and potential thundershower chance a little harder Friday. Anywhere from 0.25-0.50 of rain will be possible with this system as it moves through the area.
Watching The Weekend. . .While Friday’s front will only make it so far south, we’re still thinking Saturday will be rain-free for the majority of central Indiana. We’ll note the threat of a shower down state and keep a close eye on things, but for now we’ll keep Saturday’s forecast dry and warm. Get out there and enjoy a beautiful day!
Our next storm system will take aim on the region Sunday. As such, clouds will increase and shower and thunderstorm chances will be on the rise as we go through the day. We do note a rather large range in model forecast temperatures Sunday between the middle 70s per the European data to the lower 60s per the GFS. For now, we’ll split the difference and forecast upper 60s Sunday with increasing rain chances as we progress through the day. Stay tuned.
Brief, But Potent Blast Of Winter Chill. . .Another significant rain maker will blow through the region Sunday night into Monday. At this early stage in the game, there’s a rather high probability of moderate to heavy rainfall (greater than 1″), but the bigger story will likely be the blast of winter-like chill that will invade next Monday night into Tuesday. In fact, there may be just enough moisture lingering to result in some light snow or flurries Tuesday as the cold air pours in.
