Open The Windows…A northwest flow is ushering in a refreshing feel across the region today. Find a way to eat lunch outdoors and open up the windows to let the fresh air in! Dry conditions will prevail into mid week. The coolest night will come tonight/ Wednesday morning with lows in the lower 50s (wouldn’t be surprised by upper 40s away from the city in spots). Gradually moderating temperatures will come for the latter portions of the week, and showers and thunderstorms could pop as humidity surges Friday.
The weekend looks downright hot- especially Saturday. Timing of southwest-moving thunderstorm complexes will be an issue over the weekend, but for now we think Saturday is dry and want to mention the threat of storms Sunday. Stay tuned as we fine tune things.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-0.75″
Steady rain and embedded thunderstorms will continue through the morning hours and into the afternoon.
Eventually, a cold front will sweep through the state Saturday night and help “slosh” the widespread rain shield east of the region. By the time this happens, we expect widespread rainfall totals between 0.50″ and 1.00″ across central IN (with locally heavier totals).
Cooler weather will push in this weekend and continue into early and middle parts of next week. While the widespread rain will come to an end, upper level energy will remain and could help ignite scattered showers at times (particularly during the afternoon and evening hours) into early next week.
