Enjoy The Dry Time While We Have It…
Highlights:
- Pleasant air in the short-term
- Storm chances Friday
- Widespread soaker
Looking Increasingly Wet For The Holiday Weekend…High pressure will supply continued dry times Thursday, but clouds will increase during the evening and give way to scattered showers and embedded thunder Friday. This doesn’t look like a huge deal, but don’t be surprised by rain and/ or a clap of thunder to close the work week. That said, there will be more dry time than wet Friday.
As we rumble into the long Independence Day weekend, confidence continues to increase for a widespread soaking rain to develop. Thankfully, Saturday still looks mostly dry, but we think clouds will be on the increase late in the day, followed by rain overspreading the region from west to east as Sunday afternoon approaches. Widespread rain should continue into Monday. We still have questions on timing and precise placement of heaviest rains (2″+ totals), but it’s safe to say most, if not all, of the region can expect a long-duration rain event developing Sunday. Stay tuned. It’ll also be cool. Areas where heaviest rains set up Sunday likely won’t climb out of the 60s.
Drier air will return late Monday into the middle of next week, but we caution that another wet weather maker appears to have eye on the region beginning next Thursday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.5″-2.5″

Long Independence Day Weekend Taking A Wet Turn…
A cold front will slide through central IN Friday, but heavy rain and widespread storms aren’t expected as the front slides through the region. Instead, we’ll keep mention of scattered showers before drier air returns Saturday (with lots of sunshine).
For the purpose of this post, we’re more focused on the all-important Sunday-Monday forecast. Sunday will likely dawn dry, but trends are for wetter times late Sunday into Monday. A slow moving area of low pressure is forecast to track out of the central Plains Sunday into the Ohio Valley Monday. Copious moisture will be affiliated with this area of low pressure, including a severe threat to the south of the storm track. Heavy rainfall will fall along and north of the track of the low. While we still have a couple days to fine tune things, it’s becoming increasingly likely that portions of the forecast area (especially southern and central areas) are impacted by heavy rain later Sunday into Monday.
We note ensemble support, as well.
Rain totals will likely be hefty for some, including widespread 2″+ totals where the axis of heaviest rain falls.
Stay tuned as we continue to look over data and update the important Independence Day weekend forecast.

Refreshing Feel On The Way…
Highlights:
- Isolated PM storm
- Drier and much cooler air coming
- Late week storm chance
Much Cooler Weather On Deck…A secondary cold front will slip through central IN this evening. While most of today will be rain-free, an isolated to widely scattered shower or storm can’t be ruled out as the front moves through later this evening. Following the frontal passage, an unseasonably cool air mass will pour into the area and set up a very pleasant mid week stretch. Hard to beat lower-middle 50s at night and 70s during the day in late June.
Our next chance of rain and storms will arrive Friday. Early indications as of now suggest dry conditions and pleasant temperatures going into the long Independence Day weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″-0.50″

Beautiful Weekend Shaping Up…
Highlights:
- Scattered showers around today
- Awesome weekend weather on tap
- Dry conditions continue into early next week
- Cold front delivers unsettled weather
A disturbance is moving along a cold front that sits to our south this morning. This will keep scattered showers around central IN through the afternoon hours.
As we move into the holiday weekend we expect the frontal system to sink further south and focus best shower and thunderstorm coverage through the TN Valley. Dry air will move in this evening and set the stage for perfect weekend weather- look for lots of sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and a light northeast breeze Saturday.
Our next weather maker will head our direction early next week in the form of a cold front. Shower and thunderstorm coverage will be on the uptick Tuesday into the mid week period as the front stalls nearby.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.75″-1″

Mostly Dry And Cool; Looking Nice For The 4th!
Highlights:
- Lots of clouds, but mostly dry and cooler than normal
- Increasing sunshine for the holiday weekend
- Scattered storm chances increase early next week
While we have considerable cloudiness around, rain chances across central IN will remain few and far between over the next several days (great news)! Better chances of rain and storms will remain across southwestern portions of the state.
We’ll increase our sunshine going into the holiday weekend with only an isolated thunderstorm chance. With the increasing sunshine, temperatures will also be on the rise, but still remain a couple degrees below normal.
Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms can be expected as we roll into early next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″ – 1.5″

Another Day Of Storms, But A Break Is Coming…
Highlights:
- Scattered strong to severe storms this afternoon
- Mostly dry mid week
- Still think we’re mostly dry for the 4th
- Scattered storms return early next week
A cold front will sweep through the area tonight and ahead of the boundary we expect showers and thunderstorms to increase in coverage by this afternoon and evening. A few of these storms will likely reach strong to severe levels, including damaging winds and large hail. The good news is the front should be to our south by Wednesday morning, and as a result Wednesday and Thursday should be mostly dry and less humid.
Another disturbance will move through the area late week and we’ll increase coverage of thunderstorms Friday, but still think the holiday, itself, will be mostly rain-free across central IN.
Showers and thunderstorms (scattered variety) will return to our forecast early next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″ – 1.5″
