A dry cold front will pass through the state this afternoon. While we won’t see any precipitation from this frontal boundary, northeast winds will turn gusty into the evening and much cooler temperatures will greet us out the door Thursday morning. Some outside of the city, itself, might wake up to temperatures into the upper 30s!
Highs will top out in the middle to upper 70s as we close out the work week before creeping back up north of 80° over the weekend and Memorial Day, itself. Dry and sunny conditions can be expected through the period.
While we’re continuing to keep eyes on the upper low to our south, as of now, it still doesn’t appear as if it’ll have much, if any, impact on our weather, and we’ll maintain a dry approach for race day and the holiday, itself.
Heat should temporarily build next week, including the potential of a few 90° days, but we don’t envision this hotter pattern holding. Just past Day 10 eastern troughiness is already returning (image 2 below). This evolution will likely generate better rain chances in the Week 2 timeframe as well.

As the old saying goes, there’s no reason to waste any pixels on the short-term forecast through Friday. We’re simply on “cruise control” as a dry frontal passage serves up some reinforcing cool Canadian air.
Things become a bit more tricky as we get into the all-important weekend though, thanks to the potential influence of an upper level low and additional upper air disturbances scooting in from the west.
As of now, the call remains for dry weather to hold across central Indiana through the holiday weekend, but we’ll be keeping close eyes on both features above for the threat of any last minute changes.
Unlike many similar setups in years past, the local airmass will be much drier than normal so it’ll take a lot for big changes to take place for the wetter. That said, given all going on between Friday and Monday, we’ll continue to closely monitor. If (big “if”) rain chances need to be introduced, it appears as if Sunday evening into Sunday night would offer up the best opportunity for a few showers.
