Category: Easter
Highlights:
- Showers and t-storms
- Chilly Good Friday
- Tricky Easter Forecast
Showers And Embedded Thunder Today…Showers and thunderstorms will be with us for the majority of the late morning and afternoon hours before a cold front sweeps through the state tonight and sets up a dry, but much colder time of things for Good Friday. Locally heavy downpours are a good bet today, including some 1″+ totals across central parts of the state.
The first half of the Easter weekend is looking very nice. Certainly of the two days, we’d recommend getting that Easter Egg Hunt in on Saturday as clouds will increase Easter Sunday and give way to late day rain. Modeling isn’t in agreement on the timing of rain Easter, but we’re siding more with the GFS approach for now (earlier arrival when compared to the European). Stay tuned as we fine tune ;-).
Our “topsy turvy” weather pattern will continue into next week, but we still eye a significant cold front and associated MUCH colder air mass during the first (10) days of April…

- Unsettled mid week
- Watching Easter
Ice Scrapers Needed This Morning…Many Indiana neighborhoods awoke to temperatures in the 20s this morning. Thankfully, that late March sun angle will help boost temperatures quickly today to around 50 for afternoon highs.
A warm front will lift through the region Tuesday and could spark a shower or two, but most will remain dry. We’ll turn briefly milder Tuesday and Wednesday before better coverage of showers and embedded thunder arrive on scene Thursday. This is in association with a cold front that will deliver a quick pop of colder air to close the week, including Good Friday. There’s the chance enough cold air could catch lingering moisture to allow for a few snow showers late Thursday night before we dry things out completely.
As we look ahead to Easter, another storm system will arrive quickly. As such, we’re forced to increase rain chances (and coverage) Easter Sunday.
Longer term, indications continue to point towards a rather rude open to April, including well below normal temperatures.

Highlights:
- Mostly dry close to the work week
- Rain to snow this weekend
- Quickly warmer early next week
Keep The Jackets Nearby…We’ve enjoyed April and May-like temperatures over the past couple weeks, so you knew we had to make up for the warmth sooner or later. Thankfully, the pending weekend chill isn’t anything we can’t handle. That said, it will serve as a rather rude shock to the system for those craving sustained spring.
We’ll wrap up the work week on a mostly dry note (only a spotty shower chance), but we’ll increase overall coverage of shower activity Saturday. While it’ll be far from a wash out, when you combine the areal increase of shower coverage and much colder air, it may be a day to spend indoors watching basketball (any excuse will work, right? ;-)). As colder air gets involved, it’s possible rain ends as a wet snow flake, or two.
We’ll turn briefly milder early and middle parts of next week as a warm front passes with showers Tuesday. Steadier rains arrive Wednesday before colder air returns yet again heading into the Easter weekend.

Beautiful Weather This Weekend Before A Stormy Week…Timing couldn’t be more perfect! Between the Final Four festivities today and Easter Sunday, weather conditions simply couldn’t be any better!
We’ll begin to reverse things in a rather marked fashion early next week as moisture increases. Periods of showers and thunderstorms will be with us throughout the week, particularly Tuesday through Thursday. Waves of stronger storms and heavy rain can be expected.
Championship Monday will feature mostly dry conditions, but clouds will be on the increase and light showers will arrive towards afternoon/ evening.
The focal point for the most significant rain and storms will center itself Tuesday through Thursday and we’ll be more detailed around any severe potential and timing as we get closer. For now, get outside and enjoy this weather!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2.00″ – 2.50″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
