- Sun-filled open to the week
- Midweek storms
- Warm, humid, and stormy weekend
Dry Open To The Week Transitions To A Stormy Finish…High pressure and a refreshing northeast flow will continue to dominate our weather as we open up the work week. Dry skies will prevail and the crisp mornings will warm quickly into the 70s both today and Tuesday.
A cold front will approach late Wednesday and help showers and thunderstorms increase Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
We’ll be in between storm systems Friday and a pleasant close to the work week will result. That said, a warm front will lift north and move through the region Saturday and this will help shower and thunderstorm coverage increase significantly Saturday morning. A much warmer and more humid feel will overspread the area once the front blows through and an unstable airmass will continue to promote shower and thunderstorm chances Sunday. Locally heavy rains are a good bet this weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 2.50″ – 3.00″

Highlights:
- Showers south today
- Unseasonably cool and blustery
- Increasing sunshine Sunday
- Midweek storms
Jackets Required Today, But Improving Weather Tomorrow…A stiff northeast wind is “eating away” at the northern extent of rain today. Steadiest rains will fall across the southern third of the state, but a couple of showers may make it as far north as Indianapolis later this afternoon. The bigger story will easily be the brisk northeast flow and unseasonably chilly air. In fact, we’re waking up to wind chills in the 30s this morning. Jackets are required today.
Drier air arrives on the scene tonight and clouds will decrease overnight, paving way for a beautiful Sunday. Expect plentiful sunshine and moderating temperatures. Dry and pleasant weather continues into midweek before an approaching cold front delivers our next chance of thunderstorms Wednesday evening.
Another fast-moving weather maker will deliver thunderstorm chances to close the work week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.00″ – 1.50″

Highlights:
- Strong storms possible Thursday afternoon
- Cooler close to the work week
- Raw Saturday
- Delightful open to next week
Thursday Rumbles…While storms have pressed through the northern portions of the state today, we’ve enjoyed a couple days of pleasant weather across most of central Indiana. That will come to an end Thursday as scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms develop, especially during the afternoon into the evening hours. A few of these storms could become strong-to-severe, including damaging wind and large hail potential. The cold front will pass Thursday night and help usher in a briefly drier and much cooler air mass to close out the work week.
Our next storm system will pass south of the region Saturday and result in thickening and lowering clouds Friday evening, and showers Saturday. With a stiff east wind, showers at times, and temperatures well below average, we have the makings for a downright “raw” spring day Saturday. The second half of the weekend will easily be “the pick” as we return to drier air and increasing sunshine Sunday afternoon.
Early next week looks to get off to a pleasant start, including plentiful sunshine and moderating temperatures.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.75″ – 1.25″

- Midweek storms
- Wet, chilly weekend ahead
Pleasant Open To The Week…High pressure will slowly build into the Ohio Valley through early portions of the work week. Periods of clouds will be with us today before we clear things out in earnest tonight, resulting in a mostly sunny and beautiful Tuesday.
Our next storm system arrives Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning with scattered thunderstorms. With a southerly wind flow in place, a touch of humidity can also be expected Wednesday afternoon. A cold front will pass early Thursday and result in a much cooler close to the work week.
Attention then shifts to our next storm system that will, unfortunately, arrive on the scene this weekend. Clouds will overspread the region Saturday and rain will develop. Early indications suggest we’ll also need to hit the wind and unseasonably cool air, as well for the weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.75″ – 1.25″

Highlights:
- Warm Easter weekend
- Scattered storms, but more dry time than wet
- Bigger storm system looms late next week
Summer-Feel This Weekend…The big weather story for the Easter weekend will be the unseasonably warm temperatures, including a “touch” of humidity for the first time this spring. That warmth and humidity will aid in storm development, at times, this weekend, but the balance of the holiday weekend will be rain-free.
We think best storm coverage comes this evening (primarily after the evening rush) and again on Easter Sunday. While an isolated storm is possible Saturday, most of the day should be dry.
A cold front will sweep through the state Easter evening and help set-up a dry, slightly cooler regime to open the new work week. Dry conditions remain Tuesday before scattered storms return to the forecast Wednesday. A bigger, more significant storm system looms by the end of next week and could result in heavy rainfall totals. We’ll keep an eye on things.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50′ – 1.00″
