Refreshing Feel…

  • Dry and refreshing
  • Heat and humidity build

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″

Afternoon Storms Ahead Of A Much Cooler Push Of Air…

  • Scattered PM storms
  • Turning much cooler
  • Heat builds this weekend

Turning Much Cooler…The sunny start to the work week will give way to scattered thunderstorms this afternoon and evening as a boundary slips through the region.  While widespread severe weather isn’t expected, don’t be surprised if a couple storms require warnings later today.

A much cooler air mass will press into central IN tonight and set up a refreshing feel through the middle portions of the work week.  We’ll take lows around 50 and highs around 70 any day of the week this time of year!

As we progress into the weekend, the hottest air of the season so far will build in.  We expect lower 90s for highs and this hot surge could initially be accompanied by thunderstorms Friday.  It’ll be quite oppressive as dew points zoom to around 70.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.25″-0.75″

Turning Less Humid Today; Much Cooler Mid Week…

Screen Shot 2016-06-05 at 10.10.56 AMHighlights:

  • Scattered PM shower/ storm threat through early week
  • Cool, sunny mid week
  • Heat cranks next weekend

Turning Cooler By Midweek…After a significant rain event (on average 0.75″-1.4″ fell across central IN) Saturday, we’re starting our Sunday morning off with partly-mostly cloudy skies.  A much less humid brand of air will build in today, but we can’t completely shake the rain chances.  A scattered afternoon shower is possible.

Reinforcing cooler air will move in Monday and the associated boundary will likely do a better job kicking off scattered shower and thunderstorm activity as it moves through the region.

We’ll turn much cooler and refreshing for mid week, along with lots of sunshine and dry conditions.  As you’d imagine, the refreshing air doesn’t last long this time of year and a SW flow will help temperatures and moisture levels surge to close the work week.  The hottest air of the year so far is slated for next weekend.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Snowfall: 0.00″
  • 7-Day Rainfall: 0.25″-0.50″

Wet Saturday On Deck…

It’s been a nice Friday across central IN, including filtered sunshine and lower humidity levels.  Unfortunately, the pleasant weather won’t last as we welcome in the weekend.

A warm front will lift north late tonight and should help moisten things up enough to allow rain to reach the surface across most of central IN during the overnight into the predawn Saturday.

hrrr_ref_indy_15Steady rain and embedded thunderstorms will continue through the morning hours and into the afternoon.

hires_ref_indy_26Eventually, 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).

KIND_2016060309_tqpfCooler 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.
