Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Scattered Midweek Storms
- Cooler and unsettled this weekend
- Cooler than average open to next week
Haves And Have Nots…A cold front will move through the region Wednesday evening and result in scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. While there will be some localized heavy downpours, not everyone can expect heavy rain tomorrow. We’ll note a wind shift and drier air Thursday.
As we progress into the upcoming weekend, a trough will begin to carve itself out over the region. Not only will this provide a cooler air mass, but multiple upper level disturbances will track through the region, helping keep things rather unsettled at times this weekend into early next week. While we’re not talking about heavy rain, there will be rainy periods at times as these pieces of upper level energy move through.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″ (locally heavier totals)

Highlights:
- Sunny, warm Memorial Day
- Scattered storms mid week
- Cooler late in the forecast period
Sunscreen and Sunglasses needed…High pressure will supply plenty of sunshine for Memorial Day. While it’ll be warm, it’ll be a little less humid than the past few days. All-in-all, it’ll be a great day to be outdoors. Enjoy it!
A cold front will move closer to the region come midweek and tap into available Gulf moisture to create a good chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Wednesday PM into Thursday.
Come late week, modeling differs on the precise details. For now, we’re leaning towards a cooler, unsettled look. Fine tuning will be required as we move forward.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″-0.75″

Highlights:
- Scattered PM storms fire up
- Warm, humid, but mostly dry race day and Memorial Day
- Big cool down looming
Better Coverage Of PM Storms…A warm, humid, and increasingly unstable air mass will be present today. Throw in a couple weak upper level disturbances lifting through the region and we should see a better coverage of afternoon/ evening thunderstorm activity when compared to the past couple days. Some locally heavy rainfall will be possible.
Thankfully, aerial coverage of showers and storms will diminish Sunday and Memorial Day, itself. We’ll maintain mention of an isolated to widely scattered storm. Conditions will remain warm and humid.
Our next best chance of rain and storms will push in Thursday. This is in association with a cold front. Behind this cold front, expect a big push of refreshing, unseasonably cool air to blow into town to close the work week. Temperatures grow cooler next weekend (lows at night in the 40s are possible).

Highlights:
- Scattered storms into the weekend
- Isolated storm coverage Sunday-Monday, but drier overall
- Scattered storms return mid week
Not A Bad Forecast…The overall theme with tonight’s forecast package is warm and humid. While scattered thunderstorms will remain in our forecast Friday and Saturday, overall coverage of thunderstorm activity will diminish Sunday-Monday (isolated coverage both days). From this distance, the Indy 500 weather looks nice- just an isolated storm threat and quite warm. Widespread rain totals should remain below half an inch through the weekend, but we caution that locally heavier totals will certainly be possible (though it’s impossible to be precise where exactly those heavier showers and storms track).
Drier times will greet us as we return to work Tuesday, but we’ll be eyeing an approaching late week cold front by this time. This front will present our next chance of widespread shower and thunderstorm activity, along with a transition to a much cooler air mass just beyond the forecast period.
