Category: Unseasonably Cool Weather
Highlights:
- Unseasonably cool to open the new week
- Dry pattern most of the week
- Storm chances increase late week
Beneficial rains fell across the area Saturday and today we’re left with a cloudy, drizzly, and much cooler regime. It certainly won’t feel like May 31st and June will also open on a much cooler than normal note. Jackets will be required this afternoon. Most of the upcoming week will feature dry skies along with a warming trend once to mid week. Moisture will increase Thursday and we’ll introduce a chance of scattered thunderstorms Thursday into Friday.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Potential: 0.25″ – 0.75″

Highlights:
- Less humid today
- Best rain chances Saturday, but plenty of dry time too
- Much cooler early next week
High pressure and a northeast flow will help provide a much less humid feel today, but it’ll still be warm. Moisture will slowly increase again Friday and isolated to widely scattered storm coverage will return. Best rain and storm chances will arrive Saturday afternoon and evening as a cold front passes through the region, but we want to make sure we also stress there will be plenty of dry time, as well. The big story early next week will be a MUCH cooler air mass moving into the region. Models are behaving in an inconsistent manner Sunday in regards to the timing and position of the frontal passage. As of now, we’re leaning towards the drier solutions, but stay tuned.
Upcoming 7-Day rainfall potential: 1″ to 1.2″

May 21, 2015
Highlights:
- Another chilly start
- Lots of weekend sunshine
- Rain chances continue to decrease for the Indy 500
- More humid times next week
An unseasonably chilly air mass continues to engulf much of the region (shown above). As we flip the page and head into the long holiday weekend, we’ll note moderating temperatures and increasing humidity levels once to race day. An isolated or widely scattered storm is possible Sunday, but rainfall coverage continues to diminish with each passing computer model run. Even if we do see a passing storm Sunday, it’ll likely arrive later in the evening. A more humid regime will build in here next week and we’ll keep mention of showers and thunderstorms, particularly during the afternoon and evening. We’ll highlight Tuesday and Wednesday as days with potentially the most widespread coverage of showers and storms.

- Spotty shower or storm today
- Much cooler Tuesday-Thursday
- Light rain chances Wednesday
- Keeping a close eye on Race Day/ Memorial Day wknd
A cold front still sits to our west and as the front passes through the region later this evening, an isolated or widely scattered thunderstorm will be possible, with best chances across the southeast portion of the state. A much cooler air mass will then filter into the region for mid and late week. A weakening disturbance may hold together just long enough to deliver some light rain Wednesday. With added cloudiness and moisture, temperatures may not even make it out of the 50s for highs Wednesday. Our next chance of rain will arrive Sunday, but this doesn’t appear to be any sort of significant event at this juncture- just a scattered afternoon shower or storm chance at this point. We’ll keep a close eye on things.
A cold front will move through the region this evening and this could spark a thunderstorm, particularly across southeastern IN.
Our next chance of rain arrives Wednesday. Factor in increased cloudiness and the unseasonably cool air mass in place and you have the makings for a rather cool, raw day.
