Sunny Saturday Gives Way To Threat Of Scattered Storms Overnight Into Sunday…
Updated 06.23.23 @ 7:25a
The cut off upper low that’s been plaguing the Southeast and portions of the eastern TN and Ohio Valley regions throughout the work week will finally get the boot off to the northeast today. We’ll have to deal with lingering clouds and perhaps an isolated shower, but similar to recent days, any meaningful precipitation across immediate central Indiana will be few and far between.
Clouds will decrease tonight and pave way for a mostly sunny and pleasant Saturday. Though certainly warmer than recent days, humidity levels will remain well within the “comfy” range by most standards.
A new storm system will approach from the northwest Saturday night. Clouds will quickly increase after dark and we’ll monitor what should be a decent storm complex plowing through portions of IA, IL, and MO by evening.
Most shorter term models diminish this storm complex as it pushes into Indiana overnight, but we’ll need to keep a close eye on trends over the next 24-36 hours. Regardless, a new complex of storms will likely flare up Sunday along whatever outflow boundary is left behind from Saturday evening. As of now, it appears as if this would most likely take place to the southeast of our immediate area but we’ll continue to closely monitor.
A fresh push of dry, cool, Canadian air will blow into town as we start the last work week of June (where is time going)?! Overnight lows may even dip into the 40s for some outside of the city come Wednesday morning.

Nice Saturday Gives Way To A Wet And Stormy Sunday…
Updated 06.10.23 @ 7:14a
Today is easy. Despite some lingering haze, sunshine will be with us for the better part of the day along with unseasonably pleasant humidity levels. Highs will top out in the middle 80s for most of central Indiana.
Things begin to change overnight as moisture levels rise. For instance, about the time most head off to bed, dew points will still be quite low for this time of year (low 50s), but as we head through the morning and on into the afternoon Sunday, dew points will rise into the muggy 60s. This is all thanks to a surface area of low pressure and associated cold front. These 2 features will deliver the best opportunity for a widespread, soaking rain we’ve seen around these parts in close to 2 months.
We think rain showers early Sunday morning congeal into a more widespread, area-wide rain with embedded thunder late morning into the afternoon and evening hours.
There will also be an opportunity of some stronger storms downstate during this time period.
Rain will end from west to east late Sunday evening into the overnight hours and we’ll be left with an unseasonably cool but dry Monday. By that point, most area rain gauges can expect to pick up between 0.50″ and 1.00″ of badly needed rain, but there will be a few “winners” with amounts well in excess of 1″. Despite the timing of this occurring during the weekend, I don’t suspect we’ll hear many complaints…
More on the week ahead a bit later today in our updated client video discussion.

VIDEO: Muggy And Stormy Open To The Work Week; Cooler Pattern Returns Late Month…
Updated 05.07.23 @8:25p
High resolution guidance continues to grow more and more bullish on another round of rain and thunder Monday morning. Localized heavy rain and vivid lightning is a good bet with this storm cluster. All in all it’s another case of the “messy” specific details regarding placement/ timing of storm clusters in the immediate term, in what’s otherwise been a nice job from global guidance 7-10 days ago.

Now This Is More Like It…
Updated 05.06.23 @ 7:11a
A new pattern is emerging (at least for the time being) and will offer up a much more typical feel by May standards, along with periods of storms as we navigate the early portion of the new week.
The good news is that our Saturday continues to look dry.
Attention will shift off to our west and northwest later this evening for the potential of local overnight rumbles on into Sunday morning. This will be the onset of more of an unsettled pattern, including multiple storm complexes to track at times through Tuesday.
Severe weather parameters certainly aren’t “off the charts” but there will be enough energy and moisture to signal a localized damaging wind threat Sunday and Monday with any storm cluster(s) that flare up.
Rainfall amounts won’t be uniform but localized 1”+ amounts can be expected with more of a general 0.50” to 1” area-wide rain in the Sunday through Tuesday timeframe.
Drier air and a brief ridge of high pressure will eliminate rain and storm chances Wednesday through Friday.
Unfortunately, as it looks now, moisture levels will rise significantly heading into Mother’s Day weekend and a return of unsettled weather will follow during this time period.
