Highlights:
Have The Sunglasses Handy Today…Today is easily the pick of the week as high pressure supplies sunshine and a cool start. With the May sun angle in place, chilly morning lows in the lower 40s will quickly rise into the lower 70s for afternoon highs.
A cold front will approach Saturday and slice into a briefly warm and humid air mass in place across the region. With highs approaching 80 and dew points surging into the lower 60s, don’t be surprised by strong to severe thunderstorms across central IN during the afternoon and evening hours.
The cold front will slip to our south for Sunday, but remain close enough to continue shower chances across central parts of the state. It’ll be a much cooler day with a north wind in play.
As we move into the new work week, we’ll continue the active and unsettled theme. While it won’t rain the entire time, expect numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms through mid week.

Highlights:
Watching For Evening Storm Development…The morning has gotten off to a beautiful start across central IN, but the sunshine will likely be enough to help destabilize things just enough to assist in afternoon/ evening thunderstorm development. Additionally, a frontal boundary remains draped across the state and we’ll await a wave of low pressure to move along the front this evening. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible with large hail and damaging straight line winds the biggest concerns. We’ll keep an eye on the radar later today.
We’ll flip the page and turn much cooler for the upcoming week. Reinforcing cool air will be accompanied by showers at times through the mid week period, but we should turn drier late week (and eventually warmer).

Happy Saturday all! Widespread rain and embedded thunder will overspread central IN as we progress through the morning hours. Steady rain will continue through the lunchtime hour before we see a break in widespread rains.
After a break in the rain, we’ll have to keep an eye on the potential of strong to severe storms developing this afternoon and evening (especially across southern IN). Hail and damaging winds are of greatest concern with storms that develop, but a tornado is also possible.
Another round of scattered thunderstorms will rumble across the state Sunday.
Widespread weekend rainfall totals should fall in the 1″-1.5″ range for most, but there will also be some locally heavier totals.
As we progress into the upcoming week, cool air will be the big weather story. Perhaps the coolest days will be next Thursday-Friday (lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s).

Heaviest concentration of storms Tuesday was along the I-70 corridor and points south. We think today coverage of rain and thunderstorms will be more widespread across the state…
We’re off to a cool and quiet start this morning, but think things will turn rather busy yet again as early as the early-mid afternoon hours. Unsettled conditions will continue through the night.
Latest scans of the HRRR future-cast radar product suggests we need to monitor for high wind potential during the early to mid afternoon hours. We’ll keep a close eye on this.
The high resolution NAM future-cast radar is slower, but also shows strong to possibly severe storms into central IN late tonight.
The current SPC outlook highlights far southwestern IN for the chance of severe weather today. Don’t be surprised if this is expanded northeast with later updates today.
Rainfall potential today-tonight should feature many neighborhoods accumulating an additional inch, with some locally heavier totals.
