Today will be another beautiful day across central Indiana with low humidity, cooler than normal temperatures, and plentiful sunshine. Be sure to enjoy because we’re eyeing stormier times and increasing humidity for the weekend. Most of Friday will feature more pleasant conditions, but storm chances will increase Friday night and this is just the beginning of what will likely be a rather busy weekend, including multiple storm chances. We’ll have to fine tune timing of thunderstorm complexes as we move forward, but for now we may have to deal with a round of gusty (strong to severe not out of the question) storms Saturday morning and again later through the weekend. Severe threats this weekend include damaging straight line winds and large hail. A strong cold front will sweep the state late Monday and early Tuesday and help usher in a fall-like feel for the majority of next week! It’ll be hard to believe it’s mid July with the type cool air mass we’ll enjoy!

This evening’s video covers a potential round of thunderstorms Tuesday morning and takes a deeper look at the mid range. Yet ANOTHER unseasonably cool blast of air awaits on deck for mid-month and will provide a hint of early fall, per the EC ensemble run below for next week. This is just one piece of data amongst several pieces pointing towards a big mid-month cool down. Much more in the video update below!

What a weather year this has been for central Indiana. Snow and cold translated to wet and stormy as winter turned to spring. Now as summer rumbles into the supposed “dog days” we’re really left with the exact opposite. Our weather pattern will be dominated by a fast moving northwest flow over the upcoming (7) days and this spells an active and stormy open to the work week and next weekend, with an “island” of cool, pleasant weather thrown in the mix Wednesday through Friday.
The GFS operational run shows that we’ll remain locked into the rather active northwest flow pattern through the upcoming week. Note that while the trough axis moves east with time, the northwest flow remains intact.
There’s excellent ensemble support from the GEFS and EC, as well.
The end result is a (7) day stretch that remains cooler than normal when all added up, highlighted by the cooler punch of air (worthy of open windows yet again) Wed-Fri.
This also remains quite the active pattern in regards to thunderstorm complexes and rounds of locally heavy rainfall. We bracket late tonight into Monday morning and again Monday night into Tuesday, followed by next weekend for possible storm complexes that will make for a rather noisy time of things here. As for the severe threat, we’ll have to keep a close eye on each complex. It’s possible one or two of these could pose a damaging wind threat as they race southeast and that’s our biggest concern as of now.
When you total it all up, the upcoming (7) day period, July 7th-14th, is likely to lead to more significant rainfall over the region. The Canadian isn’t holding back, suggesting widespread 2-3″ totals. That may be a bit “bullish,” but we’ll forecast 1.5″-2″ with ease during the upcoming week, including locally heavier totals.
Quick summary:
Monday through Tuesday will be highlighted by rainy and stormy periods before we introduce a much cooler and drier regime Wednesday through Friday. Humidity builds over the upcoming weekend with additional rain and thunderstorm chances returning.
