The big ole’ area of low pressure that we’ve been talking about now for a few days will continue to influence our weather today.  It certainly won’t rain the entire time and we may even see some sunshine at times today. That said, locally heavy down pours in scattered rain bands can be expected yet again.  Drier air will slowly move in Thursday, but a cold front will blow through the area Thursday night into Friday morning and a thunderstorm is possible as this front blows across the region.  A much drier, cooler air mass will move in behind this boundary and set up a pleasant time of things Friday and Saturday.  As we move into another new week temperatures will warm dramatically and the hottest weather of the season will be accompanied by unsettled weather Monday and Tuesday.

A slow moving, swirling, area of low pressure will impact the central Indiana region over the course of the next couple days.  This spells a more humid time of things with a deep southerly flow in place, but with all of the clouds around, expect temperatures to average below normal Tuesday and Wednesday.  We’re looking at steady rains pushing northeast early Tuesday morning and sticking around for the better part of the day, including periodically heavy down pours.  Rain will begin to scatter in coverage Wednesday, but the better part of the day will be wet, with continued embedded heavy rain.  We continue to think widespread rainfall totals of 1-2″ is a good bet over the course of the upcoming 48 hours.  Drier air will slowly begin to invade Thursday, but we can’t completely shake the shower chance.  Finally, as we get set to close out the work week, a cold front will move through the area. A shower or thunderstorm is possible Friday as the front slides through, but the bigger deal will be the punch of drier, cooler air behind the boundary. This will set the stage for yet another ideal Saturday, weather-wise!  Warmth and humidity will build late in the weekend and continue into the first part of next week.
