Category: Unseasonably Warm
1.) What exciting news we had the pleasure of sharing earlier this morning. We’re pumped for our partnership with the fine folks over at IndySportsReport.com!
2.) The steering current will keep us on our toes over the coming days as periodic storm clusters threaten. It’s tough to pin point precise timing or location where these storm complexes will track, but it’s safe to say the overall region will be a focal point for additional storminess in the days ahead.
3.) Heat and humidity remain in the oppressive range through late week, before a potential punch of slightly cooler/ drier air. Admittedly, ridges can be difficult to move this time of year and models are struggling in handling the details in the mid range. We’ll keep an eye on things. As of now, we don’t see any sort of major push of cool/ refreshing air through at least the short to mid range period. The Canadian is the most bullish on a period of cooler air as we get into September. Stay tuned.
4.) We’ve made up for lost time in the rainfall department over the past week, or so. What was, initially, a bone dry August has improved. We’re now only running a little more than three tenths behind where we should be, officially.

Steamy…Plan for plenty of heat and humidity this weekend. Sunshine can be expected both days, but evening and nighttime storms will be scattered about the region. We don’t anticipate as widespread coverage as compared to late last week, but some locally heavy downpours will be around Saturday and Sunday, including the chance of more localized flooding.
Hot, Hot, Hot…The ridge will expand early next week and this will essentially eliminate rain chances Monday and Tuesday (only isolated coverage at best). Additionally, this will allow temperatures to reach the lower 90s for many communities across central Indiana.
Late Week Cold Front…We forecast more unsettled weather to develop late next week as a cold front draws closer to the area and the ridge begins to break down. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms lie ahead once past mid week, with best rain chances in the forecast period above likely arriving Friday.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″-1.00″ (locally heavier totals)
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
Highs may reach 90 in a couple spots today, but we forecast Indy’s official Saturday high at 89.

As we move through the next week, we continue to think we’ll cool things off as we wrap up August. We’re not talking about any sort of major unseasonably cool…

More Storms To Go…Our “ring of fire” pattern continues into the weekend and as disturbances ride the periphery of the heat dome to our south, periods of thunderstorms will be the result here. Locally heavy rain will be possible with each storm complex and localized flooding will result. Some extreme rainfall amounts of 5-8″ has been reported over the past couple days across north-central Indiana where training of storms has occurred.
After our current storm complex moves southeast, we think we deal with an additional couple of storm complexes late tonight into early Saturday and again Saturday evening. Overall coverage of storms will be on the decline as we go deeper into the weekend, but rain can’t be totally eliminated from your forecast.
Hot And Humid…While we may fall a degree or two shy of the polarizing 90 degree mark, it’ll still feel mighty hot and humid today and Saturday. As rain and storm chances begin to decrease, that’ll allow us to take temperatures up a couple notches late weekend into early next week. We forecast lower 90s Sunday through at least next Tuesday.
Late Month Relief…We still forecast a cooler pattern developing to wrap up August and move into September. Much more on this in the coming days. Right now, the big story remains the storm chances in the short term.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2.00″ (locally heavier totals)
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
Another complex of rain and strong storms will rumble in tonight/Saturday morning.

Mostly Dry Start To The Work Week…Dense fog is around in spots this morning, particularly northwest of the city. Otherwise, a broad circulation around a departing area of low pressure may help spark an isolated shower or thunderstorm across east-central parts of the state this afternoon. The key word here is “isolated,” however, and most will remain rain-free today.
Better Rain/ Storm Chances…Details on timing are still murky, but we forecast better rain and storm chances Tuesday afternoon on through the mid week period. With all of the moisture in the air, locally heavy downpours can be expected. The nature of the showers and thunderstorms will be what you would expect this time of year- scattered, meaning not everyone will see beneficial rains.
Serious Heat And Humidity…Temperatures will reach the hottest levels of the summer late week into the weekend. Plenty of humidity will be in place as well and conditions may warrant watches, warnings, or advisories for the heat and humidity Friday-Sunday. In a summer that’s spoiled many of us with unseasonably cool conditions, we’ll make up for at least a portion of lost time over the upcoming weekend.
7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″-1.00″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
While today will be mostly dry, better chances of scattered thunderstorms lie ahead Tuesday.
