Going Back-To-Back; Still Looking To Dry Things Out This Weekend. Pattern Change On Deck Mid-Month?
Updated 05.03.22 @ 7:37a
Rain and embedded thunder is widespread across the state this morning.
Most of the morning round of rain and storms will end from southwest to northeast (may linger through a good chunk of the day across northern parts of the state) by late morning. Should we work any sort of sunshine into the mix, that will only further aid in destabilizing the local atmosphere for what will likely be a 2nd round of storms this afternoon into the early evening hours.
High resolution guidance shows this 2nd round of storms firing up around 2 to the 3 o’clock. A few of these could become strong to severe, especially from Indianapolis and points east.
Thankfully, things will quieten down quickly come evening. Most, if not all, of the storms should be to our east by 8p. That will then set the stage for a much more pleasant day Wednesday, complete with sunshine.
Enjoy it as our next storm system will arrive quickly Thursday. After a bit of sun to start our day, clouds will quickly increase and showers and thunderstorms will follow by afternoon. As low pressure traverses the Ohio Valley, unsettled weather will persist Friday.
A drier and cooler air mass will work in here for the weekend. By that time, additional rainfall amounts in excess of 2″ can be expected across many central IN communities.
Saturday will feature dry conditions and improving skies as we progress through the day, complete with a northeast breeze. Dry conditions should also remain in place for Mother’s Day.
Longing for a quieter, more pleasant pattern? You may be in luck as we rumble into mid-May. An upper level ridge is expected to expand across the region which will go a long way in helping provide a stretch of drier and significantly warmer weather. In fact, we should see a “taste” of summer towards the early and middle parts of next week. Hang in there, friends.

Saturday Opens Quiet; Ends Stormy…
Updated 04.30.22 @ 5:30a
Our Saturday will open on a calm, quiet note, but changes are brewing…
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) continues to include the western half of the state in a Slight Risk of severe weather (including Indianapolis).
We focus in on the mid to late afternoon hours for storm initialization- specifically around 3p to 4p into the city, itself. This will likely only be the first of multiple rounds of storms into the nighttime hours. In fact, strongest storms likely won’t impact the region until after sunset, continuing up until around midnight.
Damaging wind is the biggest concern with stronger storms, but a few cells could contain hail and we can’t completely rule out the chance of a quick spin up.
Locally heavy rain is also expected, especially where storms train over the same communities. Most communities in and around Indianapolis can expect to pick up at least an inch of rain, with some closing in on 2”.
The good news is that all of this will clear out of here for the 2nd half of the weekend leading to a much more pleasant time of things Sunday.
More on this and looking ahead to the 1st half of May a bit later today!

Blocky Pattern Leads To Drier, Cooler Stretch; Looking Ahead To A Return Of Active Times…
Updated 04.26.22 @ 5:30a
Now that our cold front is to our east, it’s time to look ahead to the next weather maker. Headlines over the next 48 hours will come from patchy frost potential (or “widespread” if north of the city, itself).
Weak systems will try and push into the Ohio Valley over the next 72 hours but most, if not all, of these systems should run into a drier, more stable airmass, locally and a rather significant weakening of any sort of organized areas of rain.
There will be times of mostly cloudy conditions and light shower chances midweek but most, if not all, of any sort of “organized” rain chances will hold off until the weekend. What at times will look like appreciable rain heading in our direction will diminish in significant fashion as it pushes east into the region. The blocking pattern will breakdown and allow more organized rain and storm chances to enter the picture from the west this weekend.
Rain and storm chances should increase in earnest Saturday night into Sunday morning, including the potential of locally heavy downpours.
Another storm system awaits on deck for a Sunday evening and Monday morning arrival…
More on this and more in this evening’s client video update.
