Category: Summer
Highlights:
- Scattered showers around today
- Awesome weekend weather on tap
- Dry conditions continue into early next week
- Cold front delivers unsettled weather
A disturbance is moving along a cold front that sits to our south this morning. This will keep scattered showers around central IN through the afternoon hours.
As we move into the holiday weekend we expect the frontal system to sink further south and focus best shower and thunderstorm coverage through the TN Valley. Dry air will move in this evening and set the stage for perfect weekend weather- look for lots of sunshine, comfortable temperatures, and a light northeast breeze Saturday.
Our next weather maker will head our direction early next week in the form of a cold front. Shower and thunderstorm coverage will be on the uptick Tuesday into the mid week period as the front stalls nearby.

Highlights:
- Lots of clouds, but mostly dry and cooler than normal
- Increasing sunshine for the holiday weekend
- Scattered storm chances increase early next week
While we have considerable cloudiness around, rain chances across central IN will remain few and far between over the next several days (great news)! Better chances of rain and storms will remain across southwestern portions of the state.
We’ll increase our sunshine going into the holiday weekend with only an isolated thunderstorm chance. With the increasing sunshine, temperatures will also be on the rise, but still remain a couple degrees below normal.
Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms can be expected as we roll into early next week.

Highlights:
- Cool and refreshing start
- Sunny Sunday before clouds increase late
- Storms rumble in tonight
- Unsettled week
Sunday has dawned bright and sunny, along with an unseasonably cool feel (I’ll take this every day this time of the year)! Most of today will feature lots of sunshine, but clouds will be on the increase this evening and thunderstorms will rumble into central and northern IN later tonight.
Unsettled weather will be the rule this week, including multiple disturbances tracking across the region. These individual disturbances will enhance coverage of showers and thunderstorms from time to time this week. While no all day rains are anticipated, the additional rain and storms certainly isn’t good news for the region.
We continue to keep a close eye on the all-important 4th of July forecast. As of now, it appears as if we’ll see a cold front pass Friday night and provide drier weather for Saturday, but stay tuned.

Flooding is an issue across many central IN communities this morning. Particularly hard hit is the Muncie community. Zionsville’s Eagle Creek is also above flood stage this morning. Thankfully, breezy…

An area of low pressure will track across the Ohio Valley Friday and help rain overspread the region from west to east as the day progresses. Embedded thunderstorms can also…

Highlights:
- Turning less humid with increasing sunshine this afternoon
- Next round of strong to severe storms arrive late Wednesday night-Thursday
- Cooler, drier weekend ahead
A frontal boundary will slip through the region today and provide an increasingly sunny sky this afternoon along with less humid conditions. A disturbance may provide a shower or storm across far southwestern IN Wednesday, but we think the day will remain dry for the majority of the region. The next round of strong to severe thunderstorms for our particular part of the region will come late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Similar to past thunderstorm complexes, damaging wind and localized flash flooding will be greatest concerns. Scattered storms continue Friday, but the cold front should sweep the state Friday night and help provide a very nice weekend, including cooler and drier air.

Highlights:
- Strong to severe t-storm potential tonight-Tuesday morning
- More widespread rain and storms late week.
- Much drier and less humid this weekend.
We’re off to a warm, humid, and hazy start to the day and most of your Monday will be a dry one. That said, all eyes will be to our NW as we eye thunderstorm complexes that will gain strength this afternoon and evening before tracking southeast. One storm complex will likely target the northern half of the state late tonight and on into the wee morning hours Tuesday. Damaging wind, vivid lightning, and localized flooding are of greatest concern.
Typical “splash and dash” storm coverage will be with us during the mid week period before a cold front delivers more widespread rain and storms for late week. Locally heavy rain will accompany this front. As of now, the timing couldn’t be better. We anticipate a much drier regime to blow into town behind the cold front, setting the stage for a beautiful weekend.

Monday and Tuesday will serve to offer up a continuation of storm chances- some of which may reach strong to severe levels. Most of both days will be dry, but…

Highlights:
- Dry day coming with increasing sunshine
- Strong to severe storms possible Sunday
- Back to an unsettled pattern most of next week
The remnants of Bill continue to push east and we’re now enjoying a drier northeast wind that will shift to the northwest with time by evening. A nice day is coming, friends!
We’ll watch a thunderstorm complex to our NW tonight and forecast models handle this complex differently. We’re going with the idea that the complex will weaken moving into central IN during the overnight, but a clap of thunder is certainly possible late tonight/ early Sunday. The radar will look very impressive to our NW by evening. Additional afternoon/ evening storms may develop Sunday and these could become strong to severe, as well.
Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will develop as we progress into next week.
