The daytime hours into the evening will be very pleasant today- mostly sunny to partly cloudy, warm, and breezy!  A windy warm-up is underway as temperatures are running 17 degrees warmer than 8 o’clock Monday morning.  Highs both today and Wednesday will approach 80.  We’re eyeing a couple rounds of thunderstorms in our future- late tonight/ early Wednesday and then again Wednesday afternoon.  That said, we caution bust potential is high and while a slight risk of severe weather is up for the region for both potential thunderstorm complexes, conditions are far from a “lock.”  We’re confident portions of the Ohio Valley will deal with a couple rounds of severe thunderstorms, but there’s the chance the first wave of severe weather is across far eastern portions of the state and targeting more of Ohio and there’s also the chance that round two Wednesday is mostly across downstate Indiana.  We’ll keep an eye on things and update later this evening.  Regardless, large hail and damaging winds will be of greatest concern.  Stay tuned for further updates this evening.  Rainfall potential is around half an inch tonight through Wednesday, with locally heavier downpours.  As we move forward, we’re very confident on a glorious late week stretch and Memorial Day weekend- lots of sunshine and very pleasant temperatures!  A warm front will introduce a chance of an afternoon thunderstorm Monday afternoon, along with a much hotter, more humid feel.

Slow Improvements…

“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.
