Thursday Morning Weather Notebook: Changes Brewing To Close August…
I. A cold front will move across the state this evening. Ahead of the front, a warm and moist air mass will remain in place and the frontal boundary will serve as a “trigger” to ignite scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, especially this afternoon and evening. While widespread, uniform rains aren’t anticipated, a couple of strong storms and localized downpours will develop ahead of the front.
Scattered t-storms will impact the state today.
Eastern IN is included in a Slight Risk of severe weather this afternoon.
II. After a drier close to the work week (less humid, as well), an upper level disturbance will race across the Ohio Valley Saturday. This will provide enough lift to generate scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region, but all day rains won’t occur.
III. Ridging will return early next week and, though brief, a shot of late-summer heat will eject northeast across the Mid West and Ohio Valley. Sunday through Tuesday will feature temperatures that top out in the upper 80s to around 90°.
IV. A cold front will drop in by the middle of next week. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will accompany the frontal boundary, but the bigger story will be a dramatic change to a much cooler regime as we get set to put a wrap on the month of August. In fact, temperatures may grow cool enough to allow some 40s to develop across central and northern parts of the state at night. Meteorological summer sure looks like it’ll end with more of a fall-like feel…

Warm And Muggy; “Splash And Dash” Storms…
Highlights:
- Scattered storms
- Saturday showers
- Surge of heat ahead of a late week cool down next week
More Dry Time Than Stormy…A warm and moist southwesterly air flow will have things feeling quite muggy today. This tropical feel will also help fuel scattered thunderstorms by evening, continuing into tonight. While everyone won’t get wet today, those that do have the potential of picking up a quick 1″ in a short period of time. A cold front will cross the state Thursday and will keep scattered showers and thunderstorms going. While this isn’t a uniform soaking, we’ll take what we can get as things have been bone dry around these parts lately.
After a quiet and slightly cooler Friday, an upper level disturbance will deliver another round of showers and embedded thunderstorms Saturday. Dry weather will return to wrap up the weekend Sunday.
Looking ahead, a surge of heat, albeit brief, will have things feeling quite toasty around the Mid West early next week. We think we flirt with, or exceed, the 90° mark both Monday and Tuesday. Thunderstorms will increase Tuesday as a cold front drops in from the northwest. Behind the front, data still paints a much cooler regime for the second half of next week; fall-like!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.75″ – 1.25″

Gorgeous Weekend; Humidity Returns Next Week…
Highlights:
- Beautiful weekend dialed up
- Humidity returns
- Scattered storms late week
Refreshing Conditions Continue…A cold front settled south of the region last night, allowing drier and slightly cooler air to filter in during the overnight. That sets the stage for the weekend as we can expect dry and refreshing conditions, along with below average temperatures.
Dry skies will continue into the new work week, but humidity will slowly begin to increase once we get to midweek. A southwesterly air flow will develop ahead of our next storm system that will deliver scattered thunderstorms by Thursday. Shower and thunderstorm chances will continue Friday morning, however, early indications suggest next weekend is also dry.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″ – 0.75″
Cool August: The month has opened impressively cool with a CONUS average anomaly of – 2.75° through the 10th. More specifically to Indianapolis, we’re running 3° below normal through the 11th.
