Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Sun-filled weather
- Trending warmer and more humid
- Storm chances return late week
Happy Mother’s Day…High pressure will provide stellar weather conditions to celebrate mom outdoors today. Look for plentiful sunshine, low humidity, and warm temperatures. Enjoy the day!
Dry weather will continue through early week, along with progressively warmer conditions. A southwesterly air flow will also develop and help pull increasingly moist air out of the Gulf of Mexico northbound. It’s safe to say that humidity levels will grow into the “uncomfortable” category by midweek.
With that increasingly moist air mass in place and an approaching frontal system to our west, we’ll begin to increase scattered shower and thunderstorm chances by Thursday, continuing (in scattered fashion) into the weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

Highlights:
- Drier trend develops
- Warming up
- Summer-like feel next week
This Is More Like It…High pressure will build into the region over the weekend. With the exception of a weak disturbance that may kick up a couple showers across northeastern portions of the state Saturday, the balance of the upcoming 7-day period will be rain-free. This extended dry spell is certainly well deserved and should continue into early next week. Get out there and make the most of it!
A southwesterly air flow will help transport a warmer and increasingly muggy air mass into the region next week. While we’ll need to keep an eye on this increasingly moist and unstable air mass for storm chances, we’re siding with a more “optimistic” approach to the forecast period and hold storm chances off until Thursday. Regardless of storm chances, next week will certainly take on a more summer-like feel…to the delight of many!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 0.75″

Nice Day Before Storm Chances Ramp Up Tonight…Once we get rid of the patchy fog this morning, a good deal of sunshine can be expected today before our next chance of storms. Better rain and storm chances will arrive tonight, especially north of the city. Locally heavy rain and a strong thunderstorm, or two, can be expected.
Scattered thunderstorms will continue Thursday morning before slowly settling south as we progress into the afternoon hours. This drier trend to end Thursday will be a prelude to the weekend. High pressure will build overhead and supply plentiful sunshine over Mother’s Day weekend, along with warmer temperatures. All-in-all, a well deserved, beautiful weekend awaits.
Dry, warm conditions will continue into early next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ -1.00″ (locally heavier amounts)

Highlights:
- Frosty start
- Rain chances return
- Dry and pleasant close to the week
Wet Weather Returns…Bright and sunny conditions are in place as we open up a new work week, and many are awaking to frost out the door this morning, as well. Light winds, dry air, and clear skies allowed temperatures to plummet into the lower and middle 30s for many central and northeast IN neighborhoods overnight.
Clouds will increase later today and showers will arrive tonight. We’ll introduce thunderstorms into the mix Tuesday as a frontal boundary begins to settle south. That frontal boundary will begin to stall near the region midweek and additional waves of showers and thunderstorms will impact the region (especially the southern half of the state) through Thursday.
Drier weather will return to close the week and we expect a very pleasant start to the weekend.
A new weather maker will deliver a shower chance Sunday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.00″ – 1.50″

Highlights:
- Needed dry time
- Frosty mornings
- Heavy rain and storms return
Drier, But Unseasonably Cool…Much-needed dry time has arrived. High pressure will dominate our weather pattern this afternoon through Monday, supplying dry skies. Despite the return of the sunshine, temperatures will continue to run much cooler than average. In fact, with drier conditions in place, overnight lows will tumble into the frosty range Sunday and Monday mornings. Cover up that tender vegetation.
Our next weather maker will arrive on the scene by the middle of next week as a frontal boundary stalls out over the region. Unfortunately, this is a rather ominous signal for heavy rains to return. We forecast periods of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday through Thursday before wrapping up the work week with scattered showers. We’ll keep a close eye on the data over the next few days as additional heavy rains are the last thing we need.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.50″ – 2.00″
