Category: 7-Day Outlook
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.

Highlights:
- Scattered showers and storms continue
- Big cool blast looms
- Renewed wet stretch next week?
Active Times…It’s not so much the amount of rain that we’re seeing, but the overall duration of the gloomy, wet times. A stalled frontal boundary will remain draped over central parts of the state over the next 72 hours and this will help create periods of showers and thunderstorms through mid week. Localized heavy rain is possible, but the heavy rain totals certainly won’t fall in a “uniform” fashion. Tuesday afternoon and evening appears to still offer up a strong to severe thunderstorm chance.
Eventually a cold front will sweep the state Thursday and help usher in a much cooler air mass to wrap up the work week. An upper level disturbance will follow and provide a period of showers and light rain Friday evening. A spotty shower may continue Saturday with the much cooler air, but more widespread rains look to build in Sunday into Monday. There remains a great deal of disagreement on the forecast late in the weekend into early next week, so stay tuned as we fine tune things in the days ahead.
It’s a busy pattern, indeed, friends…

An unsettled week ahead will feature periods of more widespread rain and stronger storms at times between now and Wednesday. We’re focused on Tuesday for the potential of strong to…

- Cool Mother’s Day
- Periods Of Rain And Storms
- Another Cool Blast Looms
Have The Rain Gear Handy; Don’t Put Away Those Coats…A “wavy” frontal boundary will remain in our general vicinity over the next few days and be responsible for offering up periods of showers and eventually thunderstorms (as warmer, more humid air surges in Monday). It’s a “rinse and repeat” pattern this week as daily shower and thunderstorm chances continue. Models are in agreement on rain amounts of 1.5″-2″ between now and Thursday night, with locally higher amounts.
Eventually, a cold front will sweep through the state Thursday evening and set up a MUCH cooler than normal weekend. Instability-driven showers are possible Saturday, but the big story will be the unseasonably chilly air over the weekend into early next week.

Highlights:
- Pick of the week is today
- Evening severe potential Saturday
- Unsettled stretch continues
Have The Sunglasses Handy Today…Today is easily the pick of the week as high pressure supplies sunshine and a cool start. With the May sun angle in place, chilly morning lows in the lower 40s will quickly rise into the lower 70s for afternoon highs.
A cold front will approach Saturday and slice into a briefly warm and humid air mass in place across the region. With highs approaching 80 and dew points surging into the lower 60s, don’t be surprised by strong to severe thunderstorms across central IN during the afternoon and evening hours.
The cold front will slip to our south for Sunday, but remain close enough to continue shower chances across central parts of the state. It’ll be a much cooler day with a north wind in play.
As we move into the new work week, we’ll continue the active and unsettled theme. While it won’t rain the entire time, expect numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms through mid week.
