We sure are on a nice streak as of late with our weekend weather! If your plans don’t include outdoor activities this weekend, might I recommend a change in the schedule! Dry time will hold across central Indiana into the daytime Monday while we watch showers impact our friends to the north (a few showers will be likely Sunday for our far northern IN subscribers). Pleasant, refreshing air for this time of year will be an added bonus this weekend.
The next opportunity of rain, locally, will arrive Monday, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Even this shouldn’t be a big deal though. At one time what will likely look like a formidable area of rain will likely diminish in rather quick fashion as it moves into the dry airmass in place across central IN.
This particular front will blow through Monday night and Tuesday morning. A northwesterly flow aloft will dominate next week. Mild temperatures will continue, especially by June standards. (We’ll have several days by the middle and latter part of next week in the 70s for highs and 50s for lows). The next chance of rain will arrive with a secondary cold front Wednesday.
Finally, the “caboose” in the series of systems next week will blow through Friday with another round of rain. It’s this system that appears to have the best chance of tapping into a higher moisture source so the early lean is that we’ll see the most widespread rain in the series to close the work week.
All total, rainfall amounts with the first 2 systems appear paltry at best (on average less than 0.25” from both). Early indications are heavier amounts of rain will fall with Friday’s system. We’ll bracket 0.50” and 1.5” of rain in the week ahead for the majority of central IN rain gauges.
In the meantime, continue to enjoy our pleasant early summer weather! We’ll keep an eye on the upcoming week’s trends and update accordingly moving forward.
