PM Strong Storms…

The morning is off to a sunny, muggy, and warm start.  Temperatures will rise into the lower 90s this afternoon, but when we look at heat indices, it’ll feel like around 100 degrees across many central IN neighborhoods.

The visible satellite shows the sunny skies in place right now, but we note the cloud deck off to the northwest.  That’s in association with a frontal boundary that will press through our region tonight.

VisA line of thunderstorms will develop later this afternoon and a few of these could be strong to severe as they push to the south.  Large hail and damaging straight line winds are of greatest concern.  We think best chances of thunderstorms across central IN will come during the mid to late afternoon hours into the early evening.

Fantastic Saturday!

  • Beautiful Saturday
  • Storms return Sunday
  • Much cooler next week

Couldn’t Ask For Better Weather…After a week filled with multiple days of rain and storms, we’re rewarded with simply phenomenal weather today!  Dry conditions and mostly sunny skies will combine with lower humidity and highs in the mid/ upper 80s to create a great day to be outdoors.

Humidity will return Sunday and a frontal boundary will press in during the afternoon.  Storm chances will be on the rise and a strong to severe storm can’t be ruled out.  While storm coverage won’t be as widespread as this past week, we’ll keep an eye on the radar tomorrow evening.

The big story next week is the MUCH cooler air mass that will blow into town.  A shower will accompany the unseasonably cool air Tuesday before we return to mostly dry conditions for the middle of the week.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

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

Drier Air Works In Later This Evening; Eyeing A Cool Close To The Month…

  • Stormy times later today, especially south
  • Drier air mass works in
  • Storms return Sunday
  • Cooler to close the month

The Clean Up Begins…It was an active (and long) night across central IN as storms rumbled through.  Thankfully, the clean up will take place with dry conditions today for most of us.  For our southern viewers, we expect more widespread thunderstorms to fire during the afternoon and evening hours as a frontal boundary drops south.  We think most of central IN is dry today.

A drier, more refreshing air mass will filter into the region to close the week and head into the weekend.  Sunshine will prevail.

Warmth and humidity will be on the uptick for the second half of the weekend and storms will be associated with the moisture return.  Saturday is definitely the pick of the weekend!

Cooler times loom to wrap up the month…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
