The summer mugginess continues today and into Thursday, and with a frontal boundary sinking south this afternoon this will combine with the humidity to create localized heavy down pours with any thunderstorm that gets going. We think coverage of showers and thunderstorms will be most numerous today over central Indiana. A very warm and humid air mass will remain intact through Thursday, but we still forecast a nice push of much drier air in here for the weekend. Northeast winds will allow very pleasant humidity levels to back in here for the Friday-Sunday time period. Hoosiers continue to luck out with the timing as the weekend looks beautiful followed by resurgent warmth and humidity (and associated shower and thunderstorm chances) as early as Monday. Some of the most humid air of the season will blow into town early next week and potentially help fuel more locally heavy downpours.

Wednesday was a stormy day across central Indiana, including damaging wind and hail. Flooding was also a concern in some areas. Officially here at IndyWx.com HQ we picked up 2.21″ of rain Wednesday- most of which fell in a 3 hour time period. Here’s a cool image from the fine folks at Weatherbell Analytics showcasing the heaviest rainfall.
Despite a couple of showers (primarily south of the city) later this evening the upcoming three days will be beautiful and rain-free!
Temperatures are trending cooler when compared to 24 hours ago and as noted here by the 24 temperature difference, the cooler air to our north will continue to push south tonight.
Temperatures and humidity levels will be below normal levels the next couple days before warmth slowly builds Sunday. Lows Saturday morning will dip into the upper 40s for several communities.
True summer-like heat and humidity will lift north Memorial Day into Tuesday. Note the temperature anomalies do an about face from Day 1 to Day 5. Heat and humidity will be on the rebound for the unofficial start to summer, but, as noted above, should remain in the “comfy range” for race day.
With the increasing warmth and humidity will come a return of scattered shower and thunderstorm chances early next week.
As we look forward to early June, there are indications it could open on the warm side. Note relative agreement between the CFSv2 (Climate Forecast System version 2), NAEFS, and Physical Science Division model. Does the warm pattern stick and hold? Not so fast, my friend… 😉

The morning is dawning pleasant and quiet, but things appear to get quite noisy and active around these parts later this afternoon. A cold front will slice into the warm and humid air mass in place across the region and thunderstorms will erupt in rather explosive fashion as early as the early to mid afternoon hours. Damaging straight line winds and large hail are of greatest concern.
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) highlights the region for an enhanced risk of large and destructive hail this afternoon.
Here’s a look at what the simulated forecast radar may resemble this afternoon, as always, courtesy of Weatherbell Analytics:
Now it’s important to note not everyone will see destructive severe weather (as is usually the case with any severe weather outbreak), but signals point towards the possibility of a rather significant and large scale severe hail event across central and southern portions of the state this afternoon and evening. It’ll be very important to stay tuned to your favorite media and certainly heed all warnings that come out this afternoon.
We’ll clear things out nicely later tonight and Thursday and set the stage for an absolute beauty of a holiday and race weekend. We forecast bright, sunny skies each day along with cool temperatures that slowly warm to the upper 70s for race day, itself. We’ll introduce the next threat of storms for Memorial Day amidst bubbling true summer heat and humidity for next week.
