Highlights:
- Dense morning fog
- Tuesday showers
- Severe potential Friday
- Much colder this weekend
Two Seasons This Week…We’re starting the work week with dense fog across central Indiana. This will eventually burn off to a variably cloudy sky by afternoon, along with continued unseasonably warm temperatures.
A weak weather system will press through the state Tuesday and this will help lead to a period of showers Tuesday morning into the early afternoon hours. This won’t be a big event (most neighborhoods should accumulate between 0.10″-0.25″ of rain), but plan to pack the rain gear as you leave the house Tuesday morning.
A much stronger storm system will impact the region Thursday into Friday. As strong low pressure passes by to our northwest it’ll help pull anomalously warm, moist air northward Friday. Strong to severe thunderstorms may occur along the strong cold front that will pass late Friday. While we still have time to “fine tune” details on timing, early thinking would place greatest emphasis on large hail and damaging wind potential. Stay tuned.
Much colder air will hit with authority Friday night and set-up a wintry weekend. The spring-like feel of this past weekend will be all but a distant memory and flurries may fly Saturday morning in the colder, blustery air.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: Trace
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

Winds will turn strong and gusty out of the southwest this afternoon, noted by the tightly packed isobars (lines of equal pressure) along with considerable mid and high level clouds.
Clouds will lower and thicken Saturday and we may also have to deal with periods of fog, as well. Showers and drizzle will lift into town as the day progresses, especially by afternoon and evening.
We don’t expect heavy rain this weekend. In fact, model data continues to really back off on expected totals. The general consensus is between 0.15″ and 0.25″ across central Indiana.
After a mild Saturday, cooler (but not cold) air will ooze into the Ohio Valley Sunday.
Resurgent cold air will blow into town during the middle and latter portions of the upcoming work week. Highs will return to the 30s with overnight lows in the lower 20s. We’ll likely add scattered snow showers into the mix as well.
