Aug 17
Highlights:
Monday afternoon turned wet across central IN as a disturbance lifted north across the state, including Gulf of Mexico moisture. Localized strong storms and torrential rainfall impacted many neighborhoods.
Coverage of showers and storms will be much less Tuesday, but we still will maintain an isolated storm as a possibility.
Attention will then shift to two cold fronts that will impact the region between mid week and early next week. Strong to severe storms are possible Wednesday afternoon and evening followed by much cooler air moving in for Thursday. We’ll keep a close eye on things. After nice weather Thursday through Saturday, another cold front will swing into the Hoosier state Sunday night/ early Monday with another round of showers and thunderstorms. Yet another pop of unseasonably cool air will follow to open next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″ – 1.5″ (locally heavier totals)
Tonight’s “@cryptics Cam” shows a very nice time lapse of storms as they blew through Danville earlier today. Be sure to follow @cryptics on Twitter for awesome views of the sky and associated weather conditions here across central IN!

Aug 15
Highlights:
The second half of the weekend will feature plenty of warmth and humidity, but should be mainly dry. We’ll include mention of an isolated storm. Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will return to our forecast through the early week period and we’ll continue to keep a close eye on the potential of strong to severe thunderstorms Wednesday into Thursday. Stay tuned.
As we look forward, there’s some disagreement with the evolution of things from mid to late week. The GFS is more progressive and delivers drier, cooler air to wrap up the week, while the European is a bit more sluggish. We’ll go with a blend for now, leaning more towards the GFS solution.

Jul 18
Highlights:
After another wild evening of storms and flooding across central IN it’s good to see the sun shining this morning. We think today will be a mostly dry day across the region, but will be plenty hot and humid. Certainly plan to take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water if you’re planning any lengthy outdoor activities today.
The break in the wet, stormy weather won’t last long as scattered to numerous thunderstorms return Sunday, including more hefty rainfall totals possible. A few storms may become severe with damaging wind and large hail.
Early next week will remain unsettled, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a drier regime by the middle of the week.

Jul 14
Highlights:
One more round of showers and thunderstorms will fire this afternoon, some of which may be strong to severe. Thankfully, needed drier (and cooler) air will build in tonight and help set up a very pleasant mid week.
With all of the rain, hot weather fans haven’t been able to enjoy much in the way of significant summer heat this summer; however, things will change (briefly) this weekend. Very humid air will expand into the region over the weekend, including true summer heat as highs go into the lower 90s both Saturday and Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms may accompany the push of hot, humid air, Friday but we think the weekend will be dry at this point.
The hot, humid weather won’t last long as a cold front moves in Monday with widespread showers and thunderstorms. A much cooler air mass will return next week behind the frontal boundary.
