We’ve enjoyed a stretch of dry and pleasant air, but that will come to an end this weekend as warmth and humidity build and help fuel storms at times later…

May 11
Highlights:
A cold front swept through the state this evening and a much drier and cooler brand of air is filtering into IN as we type this. That cooler and drier regime will carry us into late week before moisture slowly begins to return. High pressure will shift east and allow a moist return flow Friday into the weekend. Add in a couple of disturbances and the associated forcing, combined with the increasing warmth and humidity, and the stage is set for periods of showers and thunderstorms over the weekend. It certainly won’t rain the entire time, but plan on localized heavy downpours.
A MUCH cooler air mass will greet Hoosiers out the door Tuesday morning. Even cooler air will be with us Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
High pressure will supply plentiful sunshine and cooler than normal air through mid week.
A southwesterly return flow will lead to increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms across not only our local area, but across a widespread portion of the Plains and Ohio Valley. Furthermore, a significant severe weather outbreak appears to be a good bet across the Plains.
After a dry mid week stretch, active times return over the weekend into early next week. Localized torrential downpours are likely. Most of the 1″ to 2″ of rain forecast shown above (courtesy of the GEM model off the Weatherbell.com suite) is expected to fall early next week.

Highlights:
Surface low pressure is wrapping up over the Great Lakes region this afternoon with a much cooler air mass flowing into IN. Though the steady widespread rains have ended, we will maintain a mention of spotty showers into the evening before diminishing. It’s a gusty day and that will continue. Most of Tuesday will be rain-free and cool, but a reinforcing push of chilly air will blow into the region late tomorrow night and Wednesday morning, and this will likely be accompanied by a band of showers. Unseasonably cool air will be the rule through the forecast period. The next potential “trouble maker” on the radar will take aim on the region late Friday into Saturday. Forecast models don’t agree on the northward extent of the steady rains, but based off experience and the time of the year we’ll lean towards the solutions favoring a more northerly track. Stay tuned.
Forecast radar shown above, courtesy of Weatherbell.com, highlights Tuesday night/ early Wednesday for the threat of a band of showers in advance of a reinforcing push of cool air.
The next item on the agenda features the potential of wet, chilly, and just downright raw times closing the week and heading into the weekend. The Canadian model, shown above, is one of a couple models with a more northward flavor of rain Friday night into Saturday.
Chilly times are the rule for the foreseeable future, friends. After a warm April (to date), a combination of the GFS and European computer guidance suggests highs are below 60 for the upcoming 10 days.
