Highlights:
- Half-n-half weekend
- Early week storms
- Fall preview coming
The weekend is off to a pleasant start- both from a temperature and humidity perspective, but also with current sky conditions across the area. Expect periods of mid and high level cloudiness to increase later today. We also note some of our shorter term modeling trying to push light rain into the picture by evening, but think the air mass will take some time to moisten up before we see much in the way of rain. Most of this should dissipate moving into western IN this evening.
The second half of the weekend will provide much better chances of showers and embedded thunder. In fact, we expect a couple waves of showers and thunderstorms Sunday. It won’t rain the entire time, but keep the umbrella and rain gear handy. Thunderstorm chances will continue as we open the new work week before a big push of cooler and drier air engulfs the region heading into mid week. An early fall preview will settle in Tuesday evening and have things feeling mighty nice around these parts for the rest of the week.

Thursday’s rain is now long gone. Heaviest rains fell south as expected. (Numbers below are only through 24 hours ago). Many reporting sites across central Indiana are returning numbers…

Highlights:
- Wet start today
- Beautiful close to the week
- Storms return early next week
- No oppressive heat or humidity in the picture
Low pressure will track east through the lower Ohio Valley today and help spread widespread rain up to the I-70 corridor this morning. Periods of heavy rain can be expected downstate. Thankfully rain won’t stay around all day and we should get into clearing later this afternoon and evening as drier air wins out from northwest to southeast. This will set up a beauty of a close to the work week with nice weather continuing into the weekend.
Moisture will return early next week and we’ll introduce storms into the picture as early as Sunday afternoon, but particularly Monday and Tuesday before drier, more refreshing air returns for mid week.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″ – 1.5″ (heavier south)

Highlights:
- Beautiful Saturday ahead
- Wet and stormy pattern returns
- Cooler than normal air arrives
We couldn’t ask for a better start to the weekend. Today will feature lots of sunshine, pleasant humidity and temperatures, and absolutely perfect conditions to spend time outdoors! Enjoy because active times return for the second half of the weekend that will carry us into next week.
As promised, we’re heading back into a very busy weather pattern. The hot dome of air (ridge of high pressure) will shift southwest and allow multiple disturbances to ride the outer periphery of the ridge in a northwest to southeast fashion. Each disturbance will be capable of producing periods of showers and thunderstorms- some of which may produce locally heavy rainfall.
As we progress into the latter portion of the work week questions abound. How far does drier air penetrate south? What’s the precise location of the ridge? Both will have to be answered in due time. For now, we’re sticking with an unsettled regime with progressively cooler air. If some of the drier solutions verify then we’ll remove rain and storms altogether once past Thursday and introduce even cooler air. Stay tuned.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ – 2″ (locally heavier totals)
