Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Dry and pleasant weekend
- Moisture and storms return next week
- Another push of cool air next weekend?
Sunglasses Required…What a great feel we’re greeted with out there this morning! Low humidity and pleasant temperatures will be with us through the weekend, along with lots of sunshine. Sunday morning will feature many neighborhoods in the middle to upper 50s across central IN. Mid-July, what?! 🙂
Moisture will slowly return as we back our air flow around to the SW early next week. Additionally, we’re tracking multiple disturbances mid week that will promote increased chances of thunderstorms.
An early look at late week shows potentially another push of dry and cool air to set-up a beautiful close to the work week. We’re getting spoiled.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.75″-1.50″ (locally heavier totals)

July 8, 2016
1.) We’ve got another warm, humid day dialed up and as a cold front moves in this afternoon, scattered strong to severe storms are possible. We think east-central Indiana stands the greatest threat at experiencing a severe storm later this evening.
2.) The aforementioned cold front will sweep through the state tonight and allow a much drier and cooler air mass to push in for the weekend. We’ll enjoy a downright pleasant feel this weekend, including lots of sunshine. Enjoy!
3.) Dry weather should continue into early next week, but wet and stormy weather will return as early as Tuesday, continuing into the latter portions of the week.
This is the start of what should be a rather wet period for mid and late month.
4.) This is also a continued “transient” pattern through the end of the month, meaning we really don’t see any sort of sustained dry, hot weather in the foreseeable future…

Highlights:
- Muggy times return
- Multiple storm chances mid/ late week
- Strong-severe storm potential
- Drier weekend
Air You Can Wear…A quick step out of the door this morning will quickly remind you that we’re in the heart of summer. A tropical feel will remain through the middle and latter portions of the work week. While an isolated shower is possible this afternoon, we should remain mostly dry across the state.
Better chances of showers and thunderstorms will return Wednesday, and we target the chances of two round of storms- morning and night. Some of these storms could be strong to severe, including damaging straight line winds. Don’t be surprised if updated Storm Prediction Center outlooks place a Slight Risk into portions of the state Wednesday.
Additional storm chances will be present Thursday and Friday before a drier air mass arrives in time for the weekend. With the drier air will also come cooler nights- lower 60s Saturday morning and upper 50s Sunday morning. After the warm, humid time of things the next few days, the drier air mass will feel quite refreshing.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1″ – 2″

Highlights:
- Heavy rain
- Unseasonably cool
- Turning warmer
- Active, stormy time later in the week
Jacket And Rain Gear Needed…The first of two rounds of widespread, soaking rains is pushing across central IN this morning. Periods of moderate to heavy rains will develop later tonight as round two arrives on the scene. Localized flooding is likely tonight and Monday morning. The overall set-up is one that features a stationary front draped across the region with ripples of energy (low pressure) moving along the boundary. In addition to the wet weather, this will also set up quite the temperature gradient across the state today. Here across central IN, jackets will be needed all day with highs struggling to climb much out of the middle 60s. Downstate, temperatures will zoom into the 80s with a severe component added into the mix tonight for southern IN (with the focus primarily being straight line winds).
Showers and thunderstorms will continue Independence Day, but we’re still hopeful in thinking we begin to dry things out for the afternoon and evening. That’s great news for the fireworks and festivities planned tomorrow evening.
We begin to heat things back up and add storms into the mix for mid and late week as the region gets into an active NW flow regime. The potential is there for a couple of rather noisy storm complexes later this week. We’ll keep a close eye on things.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 3.5″-4.5″ (locally heavier amounts)

Highlights:
- Pleasant air in the short-term
- Storm chances Friday
- Widespread soaker
Looking Increasingly Wet For The Holiday Weekend…High pressure will supply continued dry times Thursday, but clouds will increase during the evening and give way to scattered showers and embedded thunder Friday. This doesn’t look like a huge deal, but don’t be surprised by rain and/ or a clap of thunder to close the work week. That said, there will be more dry time than wet Friday.
As we rumble into the long Independence Day weekend, confidence continues to increase for a widespread soaking rain to develop. Thankfully, Saturday still looks mostly dry, but we think clouds will be on the increase late in the day, followed by rain overspreading the region from west to east as Sunday afternoon approaches. Widespread rain should continue into Monday. We still have questions on timing and precise placement of heaviest rains (2″+ totals), but it’s safe to say most, if not all, of the region can expect a long-duration rain event developing Sunday. Stay tuned. It’ll also be cool. Areas where heaviest rains set up Sunday likely won’t climb out of the 60s.
Drier air will return late Monday into the middle of next week, but we caution that another wet weather maker appears to have eye on the region beginning next Thursday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.5″-2.5″

Cooler, more refreshing times are building in. Temperatures come mid week will have you asking “Is this late June?!”

Highlights:
- Isolated PM storm
- Drier and much cooler air coming
- Late week storm chance
Much Cooler Weather On Deck…A secondary cold front will slip through central IN this evening. While most of today will be rain-free, an isolated to widely scattered shower or storm can’t be ruled out as the front moves through later this evening. Following the frontal passage, an unseasonably cool air mass will pour into the area and set up a very pleasant mid week stretch. Hard to beat lower-middle 50s at night and 70s during the day in late June.
Our next chance of rain and storms will arrive Friday. Early indications as of now suggest dry conditions and pleasant temperatures going into the long Independence Day weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″-0.50″

Highlights:
- Beautiful Saturday
- Storms return Sunday
- Much cooler next week
Couldn’t Ask For Better Weather…After a week filled with multiple days of rain and storms, we’re rewarded with simply phenomenal weather today! Dry conditions and mostly sunny skies will combine with lower humidity and highs in the mid/ upper 80s to create a great day to be outdoors.
Humidity will return Sunday and a frontal boundary will press in during the afternoon. Storm chances will be on the rise and a strong to severe storm can’t be ruled out. While storm coverage won’t be as widespread as this past week, we’ll keep an eye on the radar tomorrow evening.
The big story next week is the MUCH cooler air mass that will blow into town. A shower will accompany the unseasonably cool air Tuesday before we return to mostly dry conditions for the middle of the week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″-0.75″

Highlights:
- Stormy times later today, especially south
- Drier air mass works in
- Storms return Sunday
- Cooler to close the month
The Clean Up Begins…It was an active (and long) night across central IN as storms rumbled through. Thankfully, the clean up will take place with dry conditions today for most of us. For our southern viewers, we expect more widespread thunderstorms to fire during the afternoon and evening hours as a frontal boundary drops south. We think most of central IN is dry today.
A drier, more refreshing air mass will filter into the region to close the week and head into the weekend. Sunshine will prevail.
Warmth and humidity will be on the uptick for the second half of the weekend and storms will be associated with the moisture return. Saturday is definitely the pick of the weekend!
Cooler times loom to wrap up the month…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
