Highlights:
- Strong to severe storm potential Wednesday
- Much cooler to end the week
- Second cold front delivers storms Sunday and cooler air
Tuesday featured mostly dry conditions across the majority of central IN, but the same likely won’t be said for Wednesday. A cold front will swing through the region Wednesday night and in advance of the front scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, especially Wednesday afternoon/ evening. Damaging wind is the biggest severe threat. The reasoning behind the turbulent Wednesday weather? A strong cold front that will sweep through the area and deliver much drier and cooler air to finish the work week.
While the weekend will get off to a quiet open, another cold front will deliver scattered thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon and evening. Behind the front we can expect much cooler, fall-like air to open the new work week.

Highlights:
- Warm and humid
- Midweek storms may reach strong to severe levels
- Late week model differences
The second half of the weekend will feature plenty of warmth and humidity, but should be mainly dry. We’ll include mention of an isolated storm. Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will return to our forecast through the early week period and we’ll continue to keep a close eye on the potential of strong to severe thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday. Stay tuned.
As we look forward, there’s some disagreement with the evolution of things from mid to late week. The GFS is more progressive and delivers drier, cooler air to wrap up the week, while the European is a bit more sluggish. We’ll go with a blend for now, leaning more towards the GFS solution.
