Decreasing Rain Coverage; Increasing Sunshine…A shield of moderate to heavy rain encompassed the state during the overnight. This shield of rain is slowly moving east, southeast and we’ll be looking at improving weather through the day. There’s still the chance of a widely scattered thunderstorm late morning or early afternoon as a frontal boundary slides through the region.
Sunny Days…As we progress through the mid and late week stretch, we’ll enjoy dry skies and plentiful sunshine. Normal lows and highs are in the lower 60s and lower 80s this time of year, so we’ll be very close to that Wednesday before moderating temperatures take us warmer than average to wrap up the work week.
Late Week Cold Front; Autumn Feel This Weekend…A cold front will slice into the warm and humid air mass Friday evening and lead to the possibility of a broken line of strong to potentially severe thunderstorms. A MUCH cooler air mass will then invade the region behind the boundary, leading to a true fall-like feel this weekend!
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 0.75″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
John Salewicz sent us this beautiful sunrise photo Saturday morning before storms invaded portions of central Indiana. Thanks, John!

Break In Humidity Won’t Last Long…A briefly drier air mass will filter into the region tonight into Thursday, but won’t last long. Heat and humidity will return to wrap up the work week and move into the weekend. A couple of storms will be possible Thursday, but most should remain rain-free.
Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will develop Friday through Sunday. We’re not talking about a weekend wash out by any means and there will be more dry hours than stormy.
Early Week Cold Front…A cold front will move through the area Tuesday evening and feature a cooler and drier brand of air for mid week. Stormy times continue beforehand with shower and thunderstorms in our Monday and Tuesday forecast before we dry things out Wednesday.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2.00″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
A briefly drier air mass will move into the region late tonight into Thursday. Humidity will return quickly to wrap up the work week.

Frontal Boundary Leads To Better Shower And Storm Coverage…A cold front will slip through central Indiana later this evening. This will be a focal point in better coverage of showers and thunderstorms today, especially this afternoon and evening. Locally heavy downpours can be expected though rainfall amounts won’t be uniform (rarely are this time of year).
The boundary will move just south of the region Wednesday before stalling out. It’ll remain close enough to maintain mention of scattered thunderstorms into your mid week forecast with a drier forecast Thursday. Temperatures will slip backwards a couple of notches and humidity values will improve to a degree mid week.
Stormy Times Return…After a somewhat drier time of things mid week, unsettled times will return late week into the Labor Day weekend. No all day rains are anticipated, but there will be periods of storminess into and through the weekend.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″-2.00″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
We received a couple colorful sunrise pictures this morning from Boone County, highlighted by cloud shots from storms ongoing to our north. Thanks to John (T) and Paul (B) for these great photos this morning!
Rainfall totals will be far from uniform today, but more locally heavy downpours can be expected.

Steamy…Plan for plenty of heat and humidity this weekend. Sunshine can be expected both days, but evening and nighttime storms will be scattered about the region. We don’t anticipate as widespread coverage as compared to late last week, but some locally heavy downpours will be around Saturday and Sunday, including the chance of more localized flooding.
Hot, Hot, Hot…The ridge will expand early next week and this will essentially eliminate rain chances Monday and Tuesday (only isolated coverage at best). Additionally, this will allow temperatures to reach the lower 90s for many communities across central Indiana.
Late Week Cold Front…We forecast more unsettled weather to develop late next week as a cold front draws closer to the area and the ridge begins to break down. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms lie ahead once past mid week, with best rain chances in the forecast period above likely arriving Friday.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″-1.00″ (locally heavier totals)
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
Highs may reach 90 in a couple spots today, but we forecast Indy’s official Saturday high at 89.

More Storms To Go…Our “ring of fire” pattern continues into the weekend and as disturbances ride the periphery of the heat dome to our south, periods of thunderstorms will be the result here. Locally heavy rain will be possible with each storm complex and localized flooding will result. Some extreme rainfall amounts of 5-8″ has been reported over the past couple days across north-central Indiana where training of storms has occurred.
After our current storm complex moves southeast, we think we deal with an additional couple of storm complexes late tonight into early Saturday and again Saturday evening. Overall coverage of storms will be on the decline as we go deeper into the weekend, but rain can’t be totally eliminated from your forecast.
Hot And Humid…While we may fall a degree or two shy of the polarizing 90 degree mark, it’ll still feel mighty hot and humid today and Saturday. As rain and storm chances begin to decrease, that’ll allow us to take temperatures up a couple notches late weekend into early next week. We forecast lower 90s Sunday through at least next Tuesday.
Late Month Relief…We still forecast a cooler pattern developing to wrap up August and move into September. Much more on this in the coming days. Right now, the big story remains the storm chances in the short term.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2.00″ (locally heavier totals)
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
Another complex of rain and strong storms will rumble in tonight/Saturday morning.
