A lot of the rain that you see on the radar this morning will diminish as it pushes across the heart of the state. This will then likely be followed with a new batch of rain and storms expanding in overall coverage and increasing in intensity later this afternoon into the evening hours. A cold front will sweep through the state early Tuesday morning allowing calmer and more pleasant conditions to take hold.

It’s a warm and sticky feel out the door this morning but most, if not all, of our Sunday across immediate central Indiana will remain dry with increasing sunshine working into the mix. A few showers will continue to impact far northern portions of the state. A frontal boundary will limp through our area Monday with increasing coverage of unsettled conditions.
The longer term period features a more organized storm rolling through here late next week followed by a window of slightly cooler and drier conditions in the 8-10 day period.

Our Friday is off to a pleasant start but a few showers and embedded thunder will push across the state later this afternoon and evening as a warm front lifts north across the region. This will place Indiana in an increasingly warm, moist airmass over the weekend and on into early and middle portions of next week. Rounds of heavier rain and storms are expected next week ahead of a brief push of cooler, drier air heading into the first weekend of May…

While we have a couple of storm systems to track in the upcoming week, the majority of the heavy rain and severe weather will remain confined to areas west of here- mostly throughout the Plains and into the upper Mid West. In short, the immediate-term has “more bark than bite.”
The overall long range look reflects a lack of any sort of stagnant regime, locally, and it also doesn’t show that we’ll have to endure much in the way of “extremes” over the upcoming 3-4 week period from a temperature or precipitation perspective. – A good sign as Plant24 hits its true stride.
Week 1
The JMA and European are in agreement that this period will feature warmer than normal temperatures and near average rainfall. Of note, we’re tracking storm systems that will impact our weather Friday, Saturday, and again Monday and Tuesday.
Week 2
We note guidance getting more bullish on an East Coast trough beginning to develop during this time period. While likely averaging out slightly above normal as a whole in Week 2, I’d also plan on a few days of cooler air (type of stuff that could send us to around 40° at night and low-mid 60s during the day) around the Day 8 – 10 time frame. The period should once again feature timely rains, but nothing far off from the average.
Weeks 3-4
It’ll be interesting to watch what the European Weeklies do later today during this time frame, but the JMA is highlighting a more unsettled (wetter) pattern for now in the middle to latter part of May. Near to slightly below average temperatures and widespread above normal rains are being shown. (We’ll update this period after reviewing today’s European Weeklies).

Low level clouds will continue to push south this morning, leading to a mostly cloudy day, especially along and north of the I-70 corridor. Downstate will hold on to sunshine a little longer than up this way. All in all, it’ll be a cool and breezy day. Those clouds will clear out of here quickly later today and as winds diminish, it’ll set the stage for frost in many areas, especially outside of the city, itself come Thursday morning. Hang in there, warmer (and increasingly muggy days) await as we push through the weekend. This sets the tone for what’s ahead as we flip the page to early May…
