Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Fall-like feel to close the week
- Weekend shower chances
- Unseasonably refreshing pattern
Early October Or Early August?! A cold front will sweep through the state Friday morning. A line of showers and embedded thunder will accompany the FROPA (frontal passage) before a dramatic wind shift to the northwest. Unseasonably cool air will filter into central Indiana Friday afternoon and keep most in the upper 60s (69° is our average high October 5th). Just remarkable stuff for the first Friday in August…
A cool, crisp start Saturday will pave way for comfortable afternoon conditions under mixed clouds and sun. Flipping the page to the second half of the weekend, we’re going to have to hit the rain chance a little harder with this forecast update, including a rather overcast day. Periodic showers will keep temperatures well below normal.
Early showers will be with us Monday before a drier air mass builds into the state for the midweek stretch. Additionally, reinforcing cool air will flow in here Monday night and set the stage for simply gorgeous conditions around these parts next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

- Much cooler air ahead
- Pleasant weekend on deck
Summer Weather Gives Way To An Early Fall Feel…Seasonably warm and humid conditions will help power widely scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms again Wednesday. More widespread showers and thunderstorms will arrive Thursday evening into early Friday as a cold front sweeps through the state. Winds will shift around to the northwest and turn gusty Friday afternoon, helping usher in an unseasonably cool air mass for the first Friday of August. This cooler regime will remain with us through the weekend. A quick-moving light shower is possible over the weekend, but most of the area will remain rain-free with mixed clouds and sun.
Temperatures will remain below seasonal norms early next week (and really throughout the majority of the first half of August) with scattered rain chances returning to our forecast. Looking beyond the current 7-day period shows our next storm system of significance approaching mid-to-late next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″ (locally heavier amounts)

Highlights:
- Dry start to the work week
- Shower and storm chances return
- Much cooler by the weekend
Welcome To A New Work Week…As we open the new work week, we’ll continue to deal with the same weather pattern that provided us the delightful weather over the weekend. High pressure will grudgingly give up control Tuesday into Wednesday with moisture returning. Initially, coverage of showers will be “spotty” at best, but better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will return as we progress into midweek. Thursday appears to be the wettest day as a cold front pushes closer to the region.
That cold front will sweep through the state Friday morning and result in a MUCH cooler air mass filtering into the region as we close the work week and head into the weekend. While we’ll certainly notice the much cooler air, we have to maintain mention of a passing shower over the weekend thanks to lingering upper level energy. Despite scattered showers around the region, most of the weekend will be rain-free. The bigger story will be the late-September like air over the weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

Highlights:
- Wall-to-wall sunshine
- Comfortable temperatures
- Rain chances return
- Even cooler next weekend
Can’t Beat This Weather…The short-term is very simple. High pressure will dominate our pattern through early next week and result in very refreshing conditions. With a north-northeast flow in place, unseasonably cool and dry air will continue to flow into the region through the weekend. Get out and enjoy it!
Temperatures will slowly moderate heading into mid week and moisture will return ahead of a cold front Wednesday into Thursday. Greatest overall rain coverage should arrive on the scene Thursday, including chances of thunderstorms. Similar to this week, the cold front will pass Thursday night/ Friday morning and result in a drier ending to the work week. An early look at next weekend shows another anomalous trough digging into the Mid West. The end result will likely be temperatures that are even cooler than this weekend. Mid-upper 70s for highs, perhaps?!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

Highlights:
- Turning more humid this afternoon
- Heavy rain Thursday
- Cooler and drier weekend ahead
Heavy Rain Tomorrow…Wednesday is getting off to a pleasant and beautiful start across the Hoosier state. Sunshine will be with us throughout the day, but our pleasant air mass that we’re awaking to will grow increasingly moist this afternoon and evening. Our next storm system approaches late tonight and will help push widespread rain and thunderstorms across the state early Thursday morning. With such high water content in our air mass, expect periods of heavy rain across the region. Localized flooding will result.
The trade off to the wet and stormy Thursday will be an incredible weekend. Despite a few lingering showers Friday, we’ll notice a dramatic drop in humidity Friday night and this will set the stage for a refreshing last weekend of July. In fact, temperatures will grow cool enough both Saturday and Sunday mornings to perhaps trigger a feel of early autumn for some. Plentiful sunshine can be expected along with unseasonably low dew points with a northeasterly flow in place.
Temperatures and moisture levels will slowly increase as we get into early next week. With the increasing humidity, expect increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms towards the middle of next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 2.00″ – 3.00″
