April so far has run much warmer than normal across our region, and a large part of the country. However, a rather significant shift in the pattern will take…

A thin line of showers and thunderstorms will push through central Indiana around lunchtime through the early afternoon hours. The HRRR (top) is much less aggressive than the high resolution…

Wrapping Up The Weekend On A Nice Note…Look for lots of sunshine to start the day before mid and high level cloudiness slowly increase during the second half of the day. It’ll be a warm afternoon as highs approach 70 degrees.
Moisture will increase ahead of a cold front that will sweep through central Indiana Monday afternoon/ evening. Some of the shorter term forecast models are hinting at a thin line of thunderstorms preceding the frontal passage Monday afternoon.
We’re back to dry and pleasant conditions Tuesday and Wednesday, but the dry times won’t last. A rather unsettled pattern appears to lie ahead late week and heading into next weekend. There’s considerable inconsistencies with run to run output from our computer models, so the forecast confidence during the aforementioned period is lower than normal. Stay tuned.

Well Deserved Sunshine…After a week of storms and rain, this forecast should be music to the ears of most Hoosiers. We forecast both today and Sunday to offer up plentiful sunshine and very pleasant temperatures. Get out there and enjoy it!
Moisture increases Monday and we’ll introduce showers into the forecast as a southerly flow takes hold in advance of a weak cold front.
Mid week should feature drier conditions before a stronger storm system provides a wet end to the week, complete with thunderstorms Thursday and cooler, more showery weather Friday.

Stay Weather Aware…As we type this central Indiana is enjoying a brief lull in what’s been a rather active day, complete with strong to severe thunderstorms. Latest scans of our short term forecast models suggest the quiet times don’t last long as more thunderstorms rumble into central Indiana during the overnight hours. Hail, vivid lightning, and additional flooding is possible with overnight/ early Thursday morning storms.
Attention then shifts to the possibility of a rather significant severe weather outbreak Thursday afternoon into Thursday night, particularly if we get rid of morning convection and cloud debris. Tonight’s data would suggest we do clear things out Thursday afternoon and this would add “fuel to the fire” for potential severe weather Thursday night. All modes of severe weather are in play Thursday night, including large hail, damaging straight line winds, and tornadoes. Flash flooding will also remain a concern as some areas have accumulated more than 3″ of rain today alone.
The cold front and associated surface low responsible for Thursday’s severe weather will sweep the state Friday and usher in a much cooler and breezy regime Friday evening that will continue into Saturday. Sunshine returns in full force Saturday and Sunday. Perfect timing, huh?!
Enjoy that sunshine and calmer times of the weekend as rainy and stormy conditions return quickly early next week. All-in-all, the overall theme remains a warm, wet, and stormy one.
