Highlights:
- Early week storm threat
- Drier, cooler air inbound
- Next rain chance comes Saturday
The week will open with a typical humid and oppressive feel, but take heart in knowing it won’t last long. A cold front will move through the region Monday night and drier air will filter into the Hoosier state Tuesday. A much cooler and drier air mass will be with us through mid week before warmth builds heading into the weekend. Thursday morning will have many really craving those cool, crisp autumn mornings.
As far as rain and storm chances are concerned, we’ll keep an eye to the sky for scattered shower and thunderstorm coverage today. Forecast models differ on the weekend. The GFS suggests a cold front moves through here Saturday with scattered showers and thunderstorms and we’ll lean in that direction for now. Stay tuned.

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.

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)
