Highlights:
Plan To Sweat…The period opens with a challenging northwest flow aloft. Already this morning we note a complex of showers and thunderstorms across MN and IA. This storm complex will continue to drop to the southeast and will likely impact portions of the state later this afternoon and evening- especially north and northeast areas. An additional storm complex is possible Friday.
The big story to close the week and head into the weekend will be the push of hot, humid air. Many will be close to 90 degrees tomorrow and widespread lower 90s are a lock Saturday. Plan for frequent breaks if your plans take you outside for any length of time.
As we look deeper into next week we note an increasingly wet and stormy signal on the models and will trend our forecast in that direction for the middle and latter portions of the week.

Highlights:
Turning Much Cooler…The sunny start to the work week will give way to scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening as a boundary slips through the region. While widespread severe weather isn’t expected, don’t be surprised if a couple storms require warnings later today.
A much cooler air mass will press into central IN tonight and set up a refreshing feel through the middle portions of the work week. We’ll take lows around 50 and highs around 70 any day of the week this time of year!
As we progress into the weekend, the hottest air of the season so far will build in. We expect lower 90s for highs and this hot surge could initially be accompanied by thunderstorms Friday. It’ll be quite oppressive as dew points zoom to around 70.

Highlights:
Turning Cooler By Midweek…After a significant rain event (on average 0.75″-1.4″ fell across central IN) Saturday, we’re starting our Sunday morning off with partly-mostly cloudy skies. A much less humid brand of air will build in today, but we can’t completely shake the rain chances. A scattered afternoon shower is possible.
Reinforcing cooler air will move in Monday and the associated boundary will likely do a better job kicking off scattered shower and thunderstorm activity as it moves through the region.
We’ll turn much cooler and refreshing for mid week, along with lots of sunshine and dry conditions. As you’d imagine, the refreshing air doesn’t last long this time of year and a SW flow will help temperatures and moisture levels surge to close the work week. The hottest air of the year so far is slated for next weekend.

It’s been a nice Friday across central IN, including filtered sunshine and lower humidity levels. Unfortunately, the pleasant weather won’t last as we welcome in the weekend.
A warm front will lift north late tonight and should help moisten things up enough to allow rain to reach the surface across most of central IN during the overnight into the predawn Saturday.
Steady rain and embedded thunderstorms will continue through the morning hours and into the afternoon.
Eventually, a cold front will sweep through the state Saturday night and help “slosh” the widespread rain shield east of the region. By the time this happens, we expect widespread rainfall totals between 0.50″ and 1.00″ across central IN (with locally heavier totals).
Cooler weather will push in this weekend and continue into early and middle parts of next week. While the widespread rain will come to an end, upper level energy will remain and could help ignite scattered showers at times (particularly during the afternoon and evening hours) into early next week.
