Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Quiet weather for Christmas travel
- Weak system Christmas Day
- Stronger storm mid week
Chilly, But Rather Quiet…We’ll have some clouds around, but we should stay generally free of precipitation through Christmas Eve. A weak weather system will provide some light snow or a wintry mix Christmas morning before ending as light rain or drizzle. This won’t be a big deal, but will provide a festive time of things as you wake up to see what Santa brought.
A stronger (and warmer) storm will deliver rain Thursday along with gusty southerly winds. Dry and colder weather will return as we get set to close out the week.

Highlights:
- Tracking weak weather systems leading up to Christmas
- Mild close to next week
- Pattern change looms
Couple Of Weak Systems…We don’t expect any sort of significant weather impacts, locally, between now and the big Christmas holiday. With that said, there will be a couple of weak impulses of energy that will zip through the region, offering up the potential of a couple of light snow showers and flurries Sunday evening and again Christmas Day.
Quiet conditions will return Wednesday, but we’ll notice an increase in cloud cover- especially during the afternoon and evening. This will be a hint of things to come Thursday. Though it’ll be wet, at least we’ll have unseasonably mild conditions in place. Some south-central Indiana communities may even crack the 60° mark! A cold front will settle south through the region Friday, eventually allowing a return of more seasonable conditions Friday night.
As we look ahead, there are growing indications that a significant pattern change looms as we usher in the new year. It may not be a bad idea to stock up that wood pile…

Highlights:
- Wet at times to close the week
- Rain ends as a bit of snow Friday
- Light snow potential on Christmas Eve
Milder Than Normal, But Damp At Times…A storm system will deliver periods of light rain to central Indiana today into the wee morning hours Friday. Steadiest rain will fall to our east, but we will notice greater overall coverage of rain this evening into the overnight period. As colder air wraps in here late tonight and Friday morning, precipitation will end as light snow (no accumulation is expected).
The weekend will feature quiet conditions and our attention will shift to the potential for a weak weather system to scoot through here on Christmas Eve. With just enough cold air in place, precipitation would likely fall as light snow. Again, this isn’t expected to be a big deal, but we’ll remain hopeful for a “touch” of snow as Santa gets set for his big night.
Dry conditions return on Christmas Day and temperatures will begin to moderate ahead of a big wet storm system that will arrive the middle of next week.

Highlights:
- Dry weather continues with a warming trend
- Light rain to close the week
- Weak system on Christmas Eve
Soak Up That Vitamin D…High pressure will remain in control of our weather and present quiet conditions with plentiful sunshine as we move through the next couple of days. Enjoy! Temperatures will also be on the uptick- flirting with, or exceeding, the 50° mark Wednesday.
Our next storm system will deal areas east of IN the worst of conditions from a wind, rain, and eventually snow standpoint, but we will get in on light rain and blustery conditions to close the work week. A couple of snowflakes may mix in with the precipitation before ending Friday.
Seasonably chilly and dry conditions return over the weekend before a weak weather system zips through here on Christmas Eve with a couple of light snow showers. Looking ahead, high pressure should lead to a return of sunshine with low-mid 40s on Christmas Day.

Highlights:
- Wet Saturday
- Nice stretch of weather on deck
- Next storm arrives late next week
Damp Today; Improvements On The Way…There’s no change to the thought that heaviest and steadiest rain will remain south of the I-70 “mountain chain,” but lighter rain and showers will push north, encompassing more of central Indiana as the day progresses. The trade off for today’s damp weather comes in the form of increasing sunshine Sunday through the middle of next week. Temperatures will run above normal, as well!
The next storm system will begin to impact the region Wednesday afternoon as clouds increase, eventually giving way to rain Thursday morning. As low pressure tracks northeast and strengthens, it’ll help pull enough cold air south to allow precipitation to transition to wet snow Friday.
