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.

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.

A cold front will deliver best rain chances of the week Wednesday night into Thursday.

“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.

Forecast radar valid at 2p today shows scattered showers developing.

Good morning and happy Friday, Hoosiers! The region will remain under the influence of a swirling upper level low as we put a wrap on the work week. This will keep chilly, unsettled weather in our forecast. Temperatures will remain below normal through the weekend, though begin to moderate from the ridiculously chilly readings of late week.
We’re dealing with showers around the area now, but showers will intensify this afternoon and with all of the cold air aloft could easily produce small hail. Here’s a look at forecast radar early this afternoon- 2pm.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) highlights the region for the possibility of small hail.

The other huge story will be the very cold temperatures tonight into Saturday. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to hear reports of light frost in outlying areas Saturday morning with forecast lows in the mid 30s! Sunshine will increase as we progress through the weekend and temperatures will respond, albeit slowly! We’ll take what we can get!
- Friday: Mostly cloudy, scattered showers and thunderstorms (some stronger storms could produce small hail), 41/55
- Saturday: Cold start to the day! Increasing sunshine, still a possible light shower, 35/59
- Sunday: Partly cloudy and nice! 38/64
