We’re off to a cloudy and cool start, but at least things are dry this morning. The frontal boundary that delivered the rain and flooding to central IN Tuesday has…

Monday and Tuesday will serve to offer up a continuation of storm chances- some of which may reach strong to severe levels. Most of both days will be dry, but…

The story through Thursday will be one summed up in two words: dry and cool! High pressure will supply beautiful weather as we head into the latter portion of the work week. (May be a good couple days to use some of that PTO :-))!
Temperatures both tomorrow morning and Thursday morning will fall into the 40s. In fact, some neighborhoods away from the city, itself, may fall to between 38-39 just before sunrise Wednesday. Unlike today, afternoon cloudiness won’t be an issue and winds will be much lighter.
Changes will ensue as we progress into the weekend thanks to our air flow shifting around to a more southerly and southwesterly direction. This will pull increasingly humid air northward and we’ll introduce widely scattered showers and thunderstorms into the central IN weather picture Friday afternoon, continuing through the weekend.
It should be noted, however, that modeling today isn’t nearly as wet and stormy as previous runs. Will this be proven to be an anomaly, or is the drier trend the correct solution? We’ll give it a couple more runs before taking things at face value, but feel confident in saying that while scattered showers and thunderstorms will be in the picture, many more dry hours can be expected as opposed to wet and stormy.
Not As Bad As It May Look…Most of the day Wednesday will feature dry conditions and pleasant temperatures. Moisture will stream in from the south Wednesday evening and nighttime showers will develop across central Indiana, continuing into Thursday (though we can also expect several dry hours).
Friday will also feature mostly dry conditions, but we’ll maintain a mention of a widely scattered shower. Overall, increasing sunshine and a southerly air flow will help boost temperatures into the lower 70s Friday.
The weekend features lots of questions as two of our more trusted computer models are in totally different camps as of this evening. The European suggests dry and warm conditions (a great weekend, weather-wise) will rule; however, the GFS model is more unsettled and cooler. For now we’ll take a blend of the two, leaning more towards the GFS due to better run-to-run consistency. Stay tuned as updates will be required.
Cooler air will become the story as we open next week and jackets may be needed Tuesday with a gusty northwest breeze.
