There’s no reason to waste pixels with the forecast package over the upcoming week (and likely beyond) as we’ll enjoy about as quiet and uneventful of a pattern as we can ever ask for- certainly in early to mid April.
High pressure will build overhead and remain in control of our pattern deep into next week. This means we can expect dry conditions straight into next weekend.
Not only that, but temperatures will moderate in significant fashion next week as well. The “step-up” into the 70s complete with plenty of sunshine will be mighty nice…
The active pattern will return eventually, but just let us worry about that and you be sure to soak in the extended period of gorgeous conditions.

Now that our cold front is to our east, it’s time to look ahead to the next weather maker. Headlines over the next 48 hours will come from patchy frost potential (or “widespread” if north of the city, itself).
Weak systems will try and push into the Ohio Valley over the next 72 hours but most, if not all, of these systems should run into a drier, more stable airmass, locally and a rather significant weakening of any sort of organized areas of rain.
There will be times of mostly cloudy conditions and light shower chances midweek but most, if not all, of any sort of “organized” rain chances will hold off until the weekend. What at times will look like appreciable rain heading in our direction will diminish in significant fashion as it pushes east into the region. The blocking pattern will breakdown and allow more organized rain and storm chances to enter the picture from the west this weekend.
Rain and storm chances should increase in earnest Saturday night into Sunday morning, including the potential of locally heavy downpours.
Another storm system awaits on deck for a Sunday evening and Monday morning arrival…
More on this and more in this evening’s client video update.

The past week has dealt the region a couple of nasty storm systems. We had to deal with freezing rain to open up the work week. If that wasn’t enough, the big rain and wind storm yesterday led to flooding in low spots along with some downed trees across central Indiana (top wind gusts I’ve seen were in the 50-60 MPH) range. Given the saturated soils, it’s really a wonder we didn’t deal with more significant tree damage.
As low pressure departs to our southeast, high pressure will build overhead and support plenty-o-sun throughout the weekend. The pressure gradient will remain tight during this transfer of “power” today. Accordingly, ENE winds will continue to be quite gusty before diminishing by evening.
A couple gusts over 35 MPH will be likely through at least early afternoon.
Highs today will top out in the upper 40s for most with mostly sunny skies.
High pressure will dominate straight through the weekend and to open the new work week. Consequently, expect an extended stretch of sunshine along with moderating temperatures. We’ll top out in the lower to middle 60s by Sunday!
Our next storm system will arrive during the day Tuesday with thunderstorm potential. More on this throughout the weekend…
