Highlights:
- Summer-like heat continues
- Dry times prevail
- Much cooler air looms
A Little Something For Everyone…If you’re a fan of summer, this forecast has it! If you’re a fan of fall, this forecast has that, too! Summer-like heat will dominate through the short-term with only a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm today. Most will remain dry and that dry theme will carry us into the new work week ahead. Unseasonably hot (upper 80s to near 90 is downright hot) conditions will also continue as we open up the new week.
That said, a long advertised cold front will push towards the region by midweek and this will provide enough lift to create widely scattered thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday morning. Significant and widespread rains aren’t, unfortunately, anticipated. The bigger deal will be the much cooler air that will spill into the region Thursday and set the stage for an unseasonably cool open to October.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.10″ – 0.25″

Unseasonably Warm Weather Continues…Similar to the past 24 hours, scattered showers and thunderstorms will dot the central Indiana landscape through midweek. As has been the case, there will continue to be “haves and have nots” over the next couple of days. Some neighborhoods will get lucky with localized slow moving downpours while others miss out entirely. All in all, it’s a very summer-like regime- both from a temperature/ humidity standpoint, as well as a precipitation perspective.
As we flip the page and head into the upcoming weekend, dry times will return. A big ole upper level ridge will balloon over the mid west and eastern portion of the country and this will serve to lead to a continuation of summer-like warmth- certainly well above average. It sure won’t feel like fall as we officially welcome in the new season Friday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″ – 0.50″ (locally heavier totals)

- Rinse and repeat
Summer Isn’t Finished Yet…We may be inching ever so much closer to the official start of autumn (next Friday), but don’t tell Mother Nature that. After an unusually cool close to August and open to September, we’re set to make up for lost time over the next couple of weeks. Heat will build and expand across the Mid West this weekend and that will set the tone for the upcoming forecast period.
Weather conditions should remain dry to kick off the weekend (great day for the Whitestown Brewfest, by the way), but moisture will return for the second half of the weekend. Combine the increasing moisture with enough lift and widely scattered thunderstorms will fire Sunday. Overall coverage won’t be particularly impressive, but will be a harbinger of things to come as the new week unfolds. A couple of surface fronts will push up against the strong ridge in place as we progress through the work week. While these will “wash out” over the Ohio Valley, they’ll be sufficient enough to provide scattered-to-numerous showers and thunderstorms next week. Our parched soils will take anything they can get!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

Highlights:
- Showers and breezy conditions thanks to what’s left of Irma
- Sunshine returns
- Warmth builds
Irma’s Remnants…What’s left of Irma will begin to impact the state today. As promised, this won’t be a big deal, locally. We’ll notice scattered to numerous showers lifting north through the day, continuing Wednesday. Greatest overall rainfall coverage across central parts of the state should occur tonight into Wednesday. We’ll also note east and northeast winds gusting over 20 MPH at times. All in all, not a big weather event in the least for our region and our thoughts and prayers remain with our neighbors to our south beginning clean up/ rebuilding efforts.
High pressure will return as we wrap up the work week and move into the weekend. Additionally, a southerly air flow will help pump unseasonably warm conditions northward to encompass the Ohio Valley and Mid West. Our next weather maker will be a cold front that will make a run at the region Monday. Early indications are this front will “wash out” as it nears the region with only a few showers/ embedded thunder expected.
Looking ahead, much more active times loom as we progress through late September and open October…

High Pressure Dominates…There’s no reason to get “wordy” with the short-term forecast, as high pressure will dominate our region. This will result in plentiful sunshine, low humidity, and unseasonably cool, refreshing temperatures. Find time to spend the weekend outside!
All eyes will most certainly be on dangerous Hurricane Irma as she begins to impact the Florida peninsula as early as Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers are with all in Irma’s path, including interior portions of the southeast that will also deal with hurricane conditions late in the weekend into early next week. Here on the home front, we still only expect minimal impacts from Irma. We’ll notice an increasingly gusty easterly breeze late Monday into Tuesday. Additionally, showers are possible (especially across the southern half of the state) Tuesday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
