Updated 05.04.24 @ 9:33a Though we can’t completely rule out the threat of an isolated storm this weekend, the lions share of the next couple of days will be rain-free…

Welcome to May! The average high climbs from 70° to open the month into the upper 70s by month’s end. Average lows move from 48° to 58° by the end of May. We average 4.75” of rain.
As we navigate the first couple days of the month, isolated to widely scattered storms are possible but today and tomorrow will feature much more dry time than wet/ stormy.
More widespread rain and storms move into town as we close out the work week- especially centered on the first half of our Friday.
Additional storm clusters are possible over the weekend as the area will remain located between a couple of weak boundaries.
Like today and Thursday, there will be more dry time this weekend than stormy. Highs will top out in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
A warm and increasingly humid airmass will take hold early next week with widespread heavier rainfall Monday through Wednesday.
Next week appears to offer up a regime change. While we open unsettled and muggy, a more stable and overall cooler (slightly so compared to normal) pattern will develop around a week from today…
The weather pattern over the next few days will continue to keep the majority of the action off to our west. There will be an attempt of isolated to scattered convection Wednesday afternoon and a better opportunity of rain/ thunder as we close out the work week but anticipate more dry time than unsettled as we navigate the next few days.
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.
