We’ll have a lot of clouds around today but the lions share of our Tuesday will be dry. That changes this evening as we target better chances of showers and storms to develop across southern and southeastern Indiana- primarily south and east of the city, itself.
This is the beginning of another unsettled and dreary stretch as a surface low lifts north and tracks through the Ohio Valley midweek.
Periods of heavy rain can be expected Wednesday evening into Thursday and we continue to monitor the potential of strong to severe storms in the “warm sector” across Ohio Thursday.
In general, most central IN rain gauges should accumulate 1.5” to 2.5” of rain but there will be locally heavier amounts.
Upper level energy will whip in behind the departing low keeping showers in play as we wrap the work week up on Friday.
The weekend still looks like it’ll open on a great note with increasingly sunny and mild conditions Saturday before another opportunity for scattered showers and embedded thunder Sunday.
We’re running a little more than 3° below normal to open the month, but changes are in the offing. The majority of the upcoming 7-day period should feature seasonal to above normal temperatures and that will likely only strengthen into the Week 2 timeframe.
Unfortunately, we have a big rain event set to unfold as we roll through the middle of the week. Rain (more “showery” in nature) will continue as we close out the work week before a gorgeous Saturday.
Our expected active spring will remain intact over the next couple weeks, including an overall above average look in the rainfall department.
In the short-term period, this is highlighted between what falls Wednesday-Friday.
Though severe weather won’t be a concern, heavy rain will during the aforementioned timeframe. We still think widespread 1.5”+ amounts are likely for many area rain gauges. As of now, severe weather isn’t expected, locally, based on the SLP track. Further east into Ohio, a few severe storms will be on the table. We’ll monitor for any last minute west adjustments leading into the system.
Widespread, soaking rains will turn more “showery” in nature Friday before dry air takes firm control and provides a pleasant Saturday.
Don’t get used to the dry weather. Despite the warmer trend, another round of rain and storms can be expected the 2nd half of the weekend into early next week.
Upcoming *10-Day Rainfall Projection: 1.5” to 2.5”
Updated 04.08.24 @ 7:40a Despite a few mid and high level clouds, we’ll enjoy absolutely stellar conditions today. Enjoy, friends! Unfortunately, we’ll have to trade off the gorgeous weather today…
