Pleasant Weather Later Today; Unsettled Conditions Return…

Highlights:

  • Rain ends and sunshine arrives later today
  • Pleasant Carb Day
  • Stormy at times this weekend

Trend Is Our Friend Today…Showers are “pinwheeling” around an area of low pressure to our east this morning, but these will begin to diminish as we move through the late morning and into the early afternoon.  In fact, we think sunshine works in here later this afternoon and provides a pleasant finish to the day!

The majority of Friday will feature sunshine and pleasantly warm conditions by afternoon.  We’ll keep a close eye on the radar Friday evening/ night, but currently believe thunderstorms will remain just north of here.

Unfortunately, the long race and Memorial Day weekend won’t be rain-free, but it also won’t be a wash-out.  Most widespread thunderstorm activity should arrive Saturday evening into Sunday morning and some of these could become strong to severe.  The current Day 3 (Saturday) Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center places central and southern portions of the state under a Slight Risk.

While we can’t completely rule out an afternoon shower or storm Sunday, the most widespread activity should occur during the morning hours- before race time. Stay tuned.  We’ll turn cooler early next week…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 1.25″ – 1.75″

Cool And Increasingly Wet Today…

The morning is starting off dry across most of central Indiana, but that will begin to change as we progress into the afternoon and evening hours as rainfall grows in coverage and intensity.

Widespread rain will continue tonight as low pressure tracks north out of the TN Valley and slowly meanders across eastern IN and OH tonight before pulling off to the northeast Thursday.

Thankfully, rain will begin to diminish Thursday morning and we’re back to mostly dry conditions by Thursday afternoon.  Before dry weather returns, some neighborhoods can expect to accumulate between 1″-2″ of rain.

With the clouds and showers around, expect unseasonably cool conditions both today and Thursday.  Highs will only reach the mid to upper 60s both days.

As we look ahead, we think our dry Thursday afternoon should continue into most of Friday before scattered showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast Saturday and Sunday.  More on those details later today!  Make it a great Wednesday!

Unsettled Stretch Of Weather Ahead…

Highlights:

  • Scattered storms
  • Turning cooler next week
  • Continued unsettled

Periods Of Storms In The Days Ahead…While we’ll have more dry time than not into the weekend, multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms can be expected as we close the work week and move into the weekend.  With a moisture-rich air mass in place, locally heavy rain is possible.  Storms will reach most widespread coverage during the afternoon and evening hours through Saturday.

A cold front will sweep through the state Sunday with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms followed by drier, cooler air for Monday.

As we progress through next week, the region will remain in a much cooler, challenging northwest flow.  Individual disturbances will race southeast and result in continued unsettled weather as race weekend and the Memorial Day holiday draws closer.  We’ll keep a very close eye on things.  The balance of next week will be significantly cooler than average.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 1.50″ – 2.00″
