Highlights:
- Showers become more scattered this afternoon
- Nice Sunday on deck
- Late season push of summer heat before cooler times
Drying Out Sunday…It was a wet and stormy night across central IN, including locally hefty rainfall totals (some neighborhoods picked up more than 2″). We’ve been dealing with widespread soaking rain across central IN through the morning, but as we progress into the afternoon, most concentrated rain will remain east of the city and on into Ohio. Scattered showers will remain possible until the cold front presses through the region tonight.
High pressure will build overhead Sunday and supply increasing sunshine and a pleasant second half of the weekend. Lower humidity will promote overnight lows into the upper 50s to open the week.
A secondary (weak) front may yield an isolated to widely scattered shower Tuesday, but the bigger story will be late season heat building to close the week. Highs will approach the 90 degree mark by Friday as a big ole ridge expands across the region.
Longer term, a significant cold front looms just beyond the current forecast period that will offer up thunderstorms and a big blast of fall-like air to close the month…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.50″ – 2.00″

The initial push of moisture will ride into central IN this afternoon (likely between 2p-3p time frame). Embedded thunder will be a good bet, but the storms pushing in should be in a weakened state compared to what our neighbors to our west will experience a few hours earlier.
Periods of scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue Saturday. The good news? After the initial round of showers this afternoon, most high school football games could very well be dry tonight.
It won’t rain the entire time Saturday, but scattered storms are a good bet through the day. Some locally heavy rainfall is likely, but rain amounts won’t be uniform. On average 0.75″-1″ is a good bet.
Sunday will be the pick of the weekend as high pressure builds in and supplies a drier air mass. Flipping the page to next week, the big story will be a late season push of summer heat followed by a significant cold front next weekend. Behind this front, a true push of bonafide autumn air will push in. Sweaters and jackets will likely be needed as we put a wrap on September…

Highlights:
- Sun-filled days
- Crisp air
- Midweek showers
- Saturday rain
Fall Feel…Sprawling high pressure will supply a dry open to the week, complete with plentiful sunshine and dry air. Conditions will be beautiful to spend time outdoors- very much like early fall.
Our next weather maker will scoot through the region Wednesday with scattered showers. Once the front blows through, reinforcing cool air will press into the state Wednesday evening. A few reports of upper 40s will be likely away from the city Thursday and Friday morning.
While timing is still a bit up in the air at this distance, Saturday is looking unsettled as another cold front blows through. (Get the idea we’re in an active period)?
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″

Highlights:
- Greatest storm coverage and intensity this morning
- Turning much drier and cooler
- Reinforcing mid week cool air
Turning Much Drier This Evening…It’s been a wet and stormy time of things as of late. Locally heavy rain will continue to accompany stronger storms this morning, but we note greatest storm coverage should begin to shift ENE as the morning progresses into afternoon. Renewed showers will likely develop this afternoon as the cold front moves through the state. We’ll then enjoy a marked NW wind shift this evening and that will help push much drier and cooler air in to help create a true fall feel tonight. The second half of the weekend look beautiful- sunny and crisp!
Much needed dry time will be with us for the balance of the upcoming work week. We note a reinforcing push of cool air mid week that could spark a shower, but rainfall amounts don’t look impressive (the air will be much drier than the “soupy” feel we’ve been dealing with for the past week). A more significant rain-maker should arrive next weekend…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1″-2″
