Category: Unseasonably Warm
Keep The Rain Gear Handy…A stationary boundary remains draped across the Ohio Valley and will serve as the focal point for scattered showers and thunderstorms through Wednesday. Some of the storms may be strong and include torrential downpours. That said, there will be many dry hours, as well.
We shift our focus to the chance of severe weather Thursday as surface low pressure moves into the Great Lakes and swings a cold front into a warm, humid, and relatively unstable air mass locally. As of now, damaging straight line winds and large hail are the biggest concerns, but there’s also the chance of a tornado. Stay tuned.
After an early shower Friday, we’ll clear things out nicely to wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. Friday will be much cooler, but that April sun will help temperatures recover quickly Saturday. Most of Sunday will be dry, but we’ll introduce showers Sunday evening. This will set up a stormy open to next week.

We’ll enjoy a very warm pattern this week (how do middle 70s sound Wednesday and Thursday)?! The warmth will come at a price, however, as periods of showers and…

Beautiful Weather This Weekend Before A Stormy Week…Timing couldn’t be more perfect! Between the Final Four festivities today and Easter Sunday, weather conditions simply couldn’t be any better!
We’ll begin to reverse things in a rather marked fashion early next week as moisture increases. Periods of showers and thunderstorms will be with us throughout the week, particularly Tuesday through Thursday. Waves of stronger storms and heavy rain can be expected.
Championship Monday will feature mostly dry conditions, but clouds will be on the increase and light showers will arrive towards afternoon/ evening.
The focal point for the most significant rain and storms will center itself Tuesday through Thursday and we’ll be more detailed around any severe potential and timing as we get closer. For now, get outside and enjoy this weather!

Enjoy Today; Very Busy Times Coming…Let’s get the easy and good stuff out of the way first- today will feature simply stunning weather conditions across the region. Wall-to-wall sunshine and temperatures climbing into the middle 60s after a chilly start! Enjoy!
A warm front will lift through the state late tonight and Thursday morning. This may help ignite scattered thunderstorms early Thursday morning. We’ll then see a “lull” in the action before additional waves of thunderstorms rumble in during the afternoon and evening. Some of these storms may reach severe limits with hail and damaging straight line winds of greatest concern.
A secondary area of low pressure will slowly traverse the Ohio Valley Friday and deliver widespread moderate to heavy rain. As the low scoots to our east, it’ll help pull much colder air into the area. Temperatures will fall through the day and rain will begin to mix with wet snow Friday night. While we won’t deal with accumulation here, areas from northern Indiana over to northern Ohio may pick up a light slushy accumulation of snow.
We’ll clear things out just in time for Saturday, but it’ll be a cool and breezy day, especially early. Most of Easter Sunday will also feature sunny and pleasant conditions, but moisture will increase late and we’ll mention the chance of showers by evening.
Early next week is back to the active regime with multiple waves of showers and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday. Heavy rainfall and embedded strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible.

Those are the words to sum up the mid to long range. While we’ll deal with a brief Easter weekend cool down, the overwhelming signals in the mid to long…

Enjoy The Dry Time…A fast moving weather maker will scoot by to our northeast Tuesday morning. This will deliver rain and snow for our friends to our east. We’ll enjoy being on the southwest side of the track of this system and as a result we can expect lots of sunshine and seasonably warm temperatures. Wednesday will also feature lots of sunshine.
A new storm system will approach Thursday and deliver showers and thunderstorms into the picture. Some of the rain may be heavy at times. Additionally, we think another wave of low pressure will keep a rather steady rain in play Friday, as well. Temperatures will fall through the day Friday. As of now, it appears as if it’ll be a rather damp and raw close to the work week.
An early sprinkle or snow flurry is possible Saturday, but most of the day will be dry. Easter Sunday will dawn dry, but moisture will increase during the latter portion of the day. We’ll introduce showers into the picture Sunday afternoon.

We’re shifting gears into more of a spring like weather pattern over the course of the next 4-6 weeks. Things appear to get rather active and warmer than average, as…

Evening Rain…The day has started unseasonably cold and sunny, but changes are in the offing later this afternoon. Breezy south winds will help temperatures moderate from the very cold morning readings. In fact, if we hang onto the sunshine long enough, south winds will combine with the extra sun to allow temperatures to rise close to 50 degrees. As it is, we anticipate increasing afternoon clouds followed by showers arriving towards mid to late afternoon. These showers may even be accompanied by an embedded rumble of thunder. Rainfall amounts won’t be heavy and most can expect to accumulate between 0.10″ to less than 0.25″.
We’ll enjoy a nice stretch of sunshine and moderating temperatures Monday through Wednesday. A clipper system should stay well north of our region Tuesday, but if your travels take you into northeastern portions of the state or to Ohio, expect a few showers.
The next storm system of note here will arrive Thursday. A cold front will deliver showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon.
Another area of low pressure will deal a chilly rain to Indiana to wrap up the work week, but the good news in that sunshine appears to be the rule as we head into the special Easter weekend.

Busy Times Continue…After an initial round of rain and embedded thunder moved through the region overnight and early this morning, most of today will be very quiet. Look for a gusty southwest wind and increasing sunshine as we head into the afternoon hours.
Rain and storm chances will ramp up as we head into the nighttime hours and overnight. A period of heavy rain and noisy thunderstorms will rumble through central Indiana after midnight into the pre dawn hours Thursday. Additional rainfall of 1″ is a good bet tonight/ early Thursday.
MUCH colder air will quickly sweep into the region Thursday and could even allow some of the back end rain to switch to some wet snow before ending across north and northeastern portions of the area. This won’t accumulate.
We’ll wrap the week up on a cold and wintry note. Scattered snow showers and well below normal temperatures can be expected Friday, with dry and cold conditions Saturday.
The next weather maker will blow through Sunday in the form of a warm front. This will spark a few showers Sunday afternoon and evening along with providing a warmer time of things early next week.
