Category: Summer
Highlights:
- Dry times continue
- Front comes through mostly dry
- Weekend cooling
High pressure will remain in control into the latter portion of the work week before giving way to an approaching cold front late Friday. Dry conditions will continue before we introduce showers into the picture late Friday night into early Saturday. Unfortunately this doesn’t appear to be a significant rain maker, but we’ll take what we can get. The bigger story will be the push of much cooler air that arrives Saturday evening into Sunday.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″

September Scorcher: September has gotten off on a downright hot note. While we have a couple more days of highs that will push 90°, changes are brewing that will…

Highlights:
- Hot and humid conditions continue
- Isolated storm coverage
- Cold front approaches next week
In the short term, heat and humidity remain the big weather story as we head into the long Labor Day weekend, and unofficial end of summer. BTW- meteorological summer ended Monday evening; however someone forgot to tell Mother Nature. Isolated storm coverage will be present into the weekend.
The next big weather maker is on the horizon by the middle of next week in the form of a cold front. Much better chances of more widespread showers and thunderstorms should precede the front before a much cooler air mass arrives late next week.

Highlights:
- Isolated slow moving storms
- Hot and humid air mass remains
- Stagnant pattern
An upper level disturbance will push slowly east into Ohio Wednesday, but will remain close enough to have some impact on our local weather. Coverage of storms won’t be as widespread as those of today, but we’ll likely see a few slow moving, strong storms develop across central IN all the same.
We’ll maintain mention of isolated storms into the weekend, but the big weather story will be the unseasonably hot and humid air mass in place. It’s all part of the big weather picture that includes a strengthening high pressure ridge (hot dome) over the Lakes and SE Canada as we rumble into the long holiday weekend.
Looking ahead, there are indications that more active times are around the corner once to mid month.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.25″ – 0.50″ (locally heavier totals)
Storms rumbled across portions of central IN today, but the “@cryptics cam” caught a glorious sunset from Danville this evening.

Tuesday Storms: A small, but vigorous upper level disturbance is overhead this morning and will serve as a focal point for thunderstorm development. The disturbance shows up very nicely…

Highlights:
- Better coverage of Tuesday storms
- Splash and dash storms through the rest of the week
- Hot pattern continues into the holiday weekend
An upper level disturbance will track overhead Tuesday and be responsible for helping kick off more widespread showers and thunderstorms. These will be slow movers and capable of depositing hefty rainfall totals in localized areas. This won’t be a “uniform” rain event by any stretch of the imagination and some locales may not even see a drop of rain.
Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will diminish to “isolated” for mid and late week. The big weather story will be the unseasonably warm regime leading into the holiday weekend. Our next storm of note appears to be on the horizon around a week from today and deliver better rain and storm chances by next Tuesday, along with cooler air.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″ (locally heavier totals)

Highlights:
- Most widespread rain across northern IN today
- Isolated storm possible Sunday
- Warm week upcoming
A weak frontal boundary remains draped to our west this morning and is serving as the focal point for showers from IL into northern IN. As of now, most of central IN is simply dealing with mostly cloudy skies and dry conditions. As we progress into the afternoon we’ll include the mention of scattered showers, but this won’t be a big deal and many will remain rain-free today.
Though isolated showers or storms are possible during the upcoming week, most will remain free of any rain. Temperatures will be very summer-like- not a bad thing as we rumble towards the big Labor Day weekend and the kick-off to the college football season (hard to believe)!
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″
Yesterday was a fantastic day for a hot air ballon ride and the “@cryptics cam” caught just that! Be sure to follow @cryptics on Twitter for awesome views of the sky and associated weather conditions here across central IN!

Highlights:
- Taste of early fall continues (for now)
- Moisture slowly returns this weekend
- Heat builds this weekend and grows hotter next week
After a couple days of variably cloudy skies, we should see more in the way of sunshine as we get set to wrap up the work week. Conditions will remain unseasonably pleasant to be outdoors.
We’ll begin to transition to warmer and more humid times this weekend and with a disturbance nearby, an isolated to widely scattered shower or thunderstorm has to be included in our forecast. Most should remain rain-free, however.
Overall dry and increasingly hot conditions will be the rule next week as ridging develops over the Great Lakes region. Folks longing for more summer before fall truly sets in look to have their wish granted over the upcoming couple weeks ahead.
In the tropics, all eyes remain on Erika. Though many questions remain, folks from the east coast of Florida up along the Southeast coast should remain abreast of the latest developments. It’s likely Erika will go through a strengthening process over the next couple days.
