Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Dry daytime before showers develop tonight
- Cool times continue
- Drier mid week
- Late week storm system
Cool Times Remain…The work week is off to a chilly, but dry start. While the cool times will remain, dry times, unfortunately, won’t. Rain will arrive on the scene tonight and continue into the first half of Tuesday. Heaviest rain totals will remain downstate, but on average we expect 0.25″-0.50″ across central IN. Tuesday will be a chilly day with clouds lingering most of the day (keep in mind our average high now is into the lower 70s).
We’ll enjoy some much needed dry time for the mid week period, including lots of sunshine. Temperatures will remain below average.
Our next storm system will push into the Ohio Valley late week. Clouds will be on the increase Friday with rain building in during the PM. Rain continues into early Saturday before we get back to drier conditions late in the day and into Sunday. The potential is there for a period of heavy rain, but we caution forecast models aren’t in agreement on the axis of heaviest totals. Stay tuned.

- Bigger storm for the weekend?
Dry, But Cool…High pressure will supply dry and sunny conditions to wrap up the weekend, along with a cool, crisp feel.
Our next storm system will push into the state late Monday with showers that will likely continue into Tuesday morning, especially downstate. Heaviest rain totals are expected across southern IN, with the potential of .25″-.50″ across central IN. We’ll “sure up” those rain numbers in the next 24 hours, or so.
We’ll get back to dry time for mid week, but a potentially bigger storm system looms for the weekend. Widespread rain looks to build into the Ohio Valley late Friday, continuing Saturday.

Highlights:
- Band of showers and t-storms arrives late tonight
- Very cool and blustery weekend
- Drier pattern developing
Unseasonably Chilly Weekend…A cold front is racing towards the region and will serve up a fresh batch of showers and thunderstorms overnight. The bigger story will be a gusty NW wind shift and falling temperatures late tonight. The chill will remain through the weekend with highs well below average and a patchy frost threat in outlying areas Sunday morning. Most of Sunday will be dry, but a widely scattered shower is possible during the afternoon hours.
The majority of the upcoming work week looks much drier when compared to recent. We’re watching a significant storm system, but general consensus of forecast model data at this point keeps the majority of significant rains to our south. We’ll keep a close eye on things. Slowly moderating temperatures can be expected as we progress through the week.

Highlights:
- Scattered Showers And Storms
- Turning Much Cooler
- Unsettled Early Next Week
Have The Jackets Ready…The first of two cold fronts will sweep through the state this evening and help spark scattered strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening across mostly the eastern half of the state. A secondary cold front will move through here Friday evening with showers Friday night into early Saturday. It’s this second front that packs the much cooler air. Jackets will be required this weekend, and scattered light showers will remain in our forecast Saturday.
As we push into the new work week, things appear to be rather unsettled (what’s new)? An area of low pressure will push towards the region Tuesday into Wednesday and will increase rain and embedded storm chances. It won’t rain the entire time, but we’ll want the rain gear handy.

Highlights:
- Warm and humid mid week
- Turning much cooler for the weekend
- Unsettled times remain
Jackets Required This Weekend…Wednesday’s coverage of showers and thunderstorms will likely be less than today, but will still require a mention of “scattered” coverage in our forecast. Some locally heavy downpours are possible, but like today, heavy rain totals won’t be uniform. Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will move in early Thursday in association with a cold front. Once that cold front passes, expect a northwest wind shift and a much cooler feel of things to wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.
A weak disturbance will provide showers late Friday into the early morning hours Saturday, but this won’t amount to significant rain totals.
Cool times remain into early and middle parts of next week, with our next chance of significant rain slated for Tuesday.
