Storms May Rumble In Later Today; Cooler For Midweek…

We’ve enjoyed a warm and beautiful weekend, and most of Sunday will follow that pleasant them.  However, a cold front will drop south into the state later today and this “trigger” mechanism, combined with the heating of the day, will likely spark a broken line of thunderstorms.  These storms will sink south into central Indiana later this evening, and a couple of storms could become strong.

Modeled radar shows how things may evolve later this evening, including time stamps at 5p, 8p, and 10p.

Most significant rainfall will occur across the northern half of the state, including a couple of 1″+ totals in the heavier storms.

As we push into the midweek stretch, cooler, refreshing air will take up residence across the region.  Temperatures will run significantly cooler than average, including lows in the upper 40s for some Wednesday and Thursday morning and highs only in the upper 60s to lower 70s.  Dry weather will continue, as well.

Cool And Increasingly Wet Today…

The morning is starting off dry across most of central Indiana, but that will begin to change as we progress into the afternoon and evening hours as rainfall grows in coverage and intensity.

Widespread rain will continue tonight as low pressure tracks north out of the TN Valley and slowly meanders across eastern IN and OH tonight before pulling off to the northeast Thursday.

Thankfully, rain will begin to diminish Thursday morning and we’re back to mostly dry conditions by Thursday afternoon.  Before dry weather returns, some neighborhoods can expect to accumulate between 1″-2″ of rain.

With the clouds and showers around, expect unseasonably cool conditions both today and Thursday.  Highs will only reach the mid to upper 60s both days.

As we look ahead, we think our dry Thursday afternoon should continue into most of Friday before scattered showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast Saturday and Sunday.  More on those details later today!  Make it a great Wednesday!

Busy Week Of Weather…

Pleasant Open To The Work Week…High pressure will support dry and pleasant weather conditions as we open up the work week. Expect plentiful sunshine and comfortable conditions to spend time outdoors today!  Enjoy!

Unsettled weather will return for midweek as low pressure moves into the Ohio Valley.  Scattered showers Tuesday will increase in overall coverage and intensity Wednesday, including the potential of locally heavy rainfall.  With all of the clouds and rain around through midweek, temperatures will run significantly below average.

Thankfully, we’ll get a breather Friday, with a mostly dry day expected.  We’ll turn the temperature up a couple notches heading into the long race and Memorial Day weekend.  Additionally, expect an increasingly muggy feel with scattered thunderstorms returning to the forecast this weekend.

Scattered Storm Chances Through Sunday Morning; Much Cooler Next Week…

Highlights:

  • Scattered storm chances continue
  • Much cooler next week
  • Midweek showers return

Watching For Afternoon And Evening Storms…We’re starting the day with low clouds, fog, and a chilly easterly breeze.  That said, a warm front will begin to lift north this afternoon, allowing a warmer and increasingly muggy feel to return.  Scattered thunderstorms will also increase in overall coverage later this afternoon and evening.  While widespread heavy rains aren’t anticipated, localized heavy downpours are possible in slower moving, stronger storms.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain Sunday morning, but a cold front will pass around lunchtime with drier air arriving by the afternoon hours.  If you have plans outdoors Sunday, the afternoon and evening looks absolutely beautiful with a more pleasant air mass building in with those drier conditions.

Unsettled conditions return Tuesday into Wednesday with unseasonably cool air.  As of now, the early outlook for the big race weekend and Memorial Day holiday is a dry one, with just a scattered shower chance Saturday.  Stay tuned.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″ (Locally heavier amounts)
