After a stormy Wednesday that featured flooding, hail, and wind damage, today will be a refreshing change!  The cooler, drier, and sunny start to the day is a sign of things to come for the long holiday and race weekend!  A weak disturbance could add a few clouds tonight and a shower downstate, but most will stay dry.  High pressure will then supply wall-to-wall sunshine and cooler air as we wrap up the work week and head into the long weekend.  A hotter, more humid air mass will build in for Memorial Day, itself, and result in a muggy feel along with scattered showers and thunderstorms early next week.

Severe Weather Video Brief Tonight-Wednesday

The region remains under fire for severe weather potential, primarily for damaging straight line wind and hail per latest thinking.  The video uncovers when you can expect this and looks ahead to the all-important Memorial Day and Indianapolis 500 weekend!

The region is under fire for severe potential Wednesday.

Catching Up On A Monday Morning!

Happy Monday!  Here’s hoping everyone had a great weekend!  The week ahead will feature a much warmer, muggier regime as early as Tuesday.  Rain chances will increase Wednesday night into Thursday (early indications are for around half an inch of rain).  We’ll then (thankfully) dry things out and introduce a very pleasant air mass heading into the all-important Memorial Day and Race weekend.  We’ll have a full 7-day forecast posted here later this evening.  Make it a great Monday!

Southerly winds will transport 80 degree type air and a more humid feel by Tuesday and Wednesday.

“Improvement” will be the weather word of the weekend, but it’s going to take a couple of slow baby steps before we see full-blown improvement (we think that comes Sunday)!  Today will feature more sunshine than Friday, but with plenty of cold air aloft, it won’t take long for that May sun to do it’s dirty work and help showers bubble up this afternoon.  While some small hail will be possible with the showers, hail reports won’t be nearly as widespread as what we saw Friday.  Temperatures will remain well below normal.  We finally think we can shake shower chances Sunday and introduce a partly cloudy sky.  Early next week looks dry, as well, until a warm front lifts north Tuesday.  This will introduce a much warmer, muggy brand of air to central Indiana and allow for the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms for mid and late week.  A weak frontal boundary will slip south Thursday into Friday which will knock temperatures back a few degrees to wrap up the work week.  Rainfall amounts through the period will remain rather light, but some local downpours are possible in the muggy air mass mid week.
