Category: Unseasonably Warm
Highlights:
- Dry pattern continues today
- Mid week storms
- Questions abound this weekend
Heat And Humidity Return…High pressure will give way to an approaching cold front as we progress from early to mid week. Ahead of the front, a southwest air flow will transport an increasingly warm and muggy air mass northward. It’ll, unfortunately, feel much more humid Wednesday and Thursday. With the frontal boundary nearby and the increased humidity, expect scattered to numerous thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday (along with locally heavy downpours). A couple strong storms are also possible.
We still think drier air will press into central IN to wrap up the work week and head into the first half of the weekend. That said, moisture returns as early as Sunday and leads to a mention of thunderstorms, especially during the PM. Stay tuned as we continue to fine tune timing.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.00″-1.50″

Highlights:
- Sun-filled days
- Heat cranks up
- Late week questions
Turning Up The Heat…After a refreshing weekend, the heat returns later this week. Look for highs in the lower 90s with an oppressive feel to the air, as humidity builds. “Air you can wear” will be an appropriate forecast title come mid week. The forecast is easy through the midweek stretch with sunshine as the rule.
Things become more unclear as we approach the back half of the week and the weekend. We note the GFS is rather progressive in swinging a cold front through here with scattered showers and thunderstorms, followed by a significantly cooler/ drier air mass a week from today. On the other hand, the European solution is drastically different as it slows the front to a “crawl” coming through the Ohio Valley and also entrains GOM (Gulf of Mexico) moisture from the serious rain/ flood maker later this week across the Gulf states. It’s a significantly wetter look, locally, and a situation we’ll continue to keep a close eye on in the coming day, or two.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″

Highlights:
- Storm chances increase tonight-Monday morning
- Drier, cooler air on deck
- Widespread storms Thursday
Hang In There…It’s been a long couple of days with high heat and humidity, but relief is in sight. A cold front will move through the state Monday. Ahead of this front, a band of showers and thunderstorms will slide through Indiana. A few of these storms could be strong with locally heavy rain. Best chances of storms across central IN appear to arrive tonight and Monday morning, before transitioning to southern IN Monday afternoon. Drier air will arrive Tuesday into Wednesday.
Our next rain and storm chances are dialed up for Thursday and early indications suggest this could be a fairly widespread event. Though we’ll maintain rain chances next weekend, coverage will diminish when compared to Thursday. Temperatures will be much more tolerable than what we’re dealing with today.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.75″-1.25″ (Locally heavier totals)
