Category: Unseasonably Warm
Highlights:
- Pick of the week is today
- Evening severe potential Saturday
- Unsettled stretch continues
Have The Sunglasses Handy Today…Today is easily the pick of the week as high pressure supplies sunshine and a cool start. With the May sun angle in place, chilly morning lows in the lower 40s will quickly rise into the lower 70s for afternoon highs.
A cold front will approach Saturday and slice into a briefly warm and humid air mass in place across the region. With highs approaching 80 and dew points surging into the lower 60s, don’t be surprised by strong to severe thunderstorms across central IN during the afternoon and evening hours.
The cold front will slip to our south for Sunday, but remain close enough to continue shower chances across central parts of the state. It’ll be a much cooler day with a north wind in play.
As we move into the new work week, we’ll continue the active and unsettled theme. While it won’t rain the entire time, expect numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms through mid week.

Highlights:
- Sunny close to the weekend
- Warm and increasingly humid early week with showers
- Widespread rain and storms Wednesday
- Significant rain maker to open May
Good Supply Of Vitamin D…High pressure will remain in control of our weather today and supply mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures. Get outside and enjoy!
Moisture will begin to increase as we progress through the early portions of the work week with showers and scattered thunderstorms developing Monday into Tuesday. We’ll still enjoy lots of dry time in between the scattered showers.
More widespread showers and thunderstorms will push into the state Wednesday. Early numbers suggest amounts of 0.75″-1″. Lingering showers remain Thursday morning, but we should get a nice push of dry air in here Thursday afternoon into Friday.
Attention will then shift to a significant system that promises to provide heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms as early as Saturday night. We still have time to watch this, but from this distance it appears as if this will be a “juicy” storm system. We’re also eyeing a much cooler open to May…

April is running nearly 6° below average and nearly spot-on where we should be from a precipitation perspective through the 15th. As we move forward, the big story…

Highlights:
- Dry times continue
- Warmer days ahead
- Weak system arrives Tuesday
Have The Sunglasses Handy…There’s no reason to waste many pixels on this forecast as a ridge of high pressure remains in firm control of our weather, keeping us dry and mostly sunny through the weekend. A weak swirl in the atmosphere will provide a few clouds and a spotty sprinkle across far southern IN today. Otherwise, sunny and warm times remain through the weekend into early next week.
A weak weather maker will provide scattered showers by Tuesday, but this doesn’t look like a big deal from this distance.

Highlights:
- Wet open to the work week
- Shot of colder air
- Extended dry, sunny stretch coming
Good Supply Of Vitamin D Coming…While the work week is opening cloudy, wet, and gloomy, it certainly won’t end that way. Rain will end from west to east this afternoon. Before we get into the much deserved pattern change later this week, we’ll deal with one more shot of chilly air arriving tonight and Tuesday with a brisk NW wind. Sub-freezing temperatures are a good bet for most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
Once to Thursday, we’re “off to the races” as far as temperatures go- adding a couple degrees on afternoon highs each afternoon. Wall-to-wall sunshine will dominate the forecast as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. Enjoy, friends!

We open the forecast period dry and pleasant, but we turn stormy late Easter Sunday and MUCH colder air still looks to arrive as we welcome April. Details can be…

Highlights:
- Showers and t-storms
- Chilly Good Friday
- Tricky Easter Forecast
Showers And Embedded Thunder Today…Showers and thunderstorms will be with us for the majority of the late morning and afternoon hours before a cold front sweeps through the state tonight and sets up a dry, but much colder time of things for Good Friday. Locally heavy downpours are a good bet today, including some 1″+ totals across central parts of the state.
The first half of the Easter weekend is looking very nice. Certainly of the two days, we’d recommend getting that Easter Egg Hunt in on Saturday as clouds will increase Easter Sunday and give way to late day rain. Modeling isn’t in agreement on the timing of rain Easter, but we’re siding more with the GFS approach for now (earlier arrival when compared to the European). Stay tuned as we fine tune ;-).
Our “topsy turvy” weather pattern will continue into next week, but we still eye a significant cold front and associated MUCH colder air mass during the first (10) days of April…
