Enjoy Today’s Sun…Today looks to be the pick of the week, including mostly dry conditions and temperatures that will feel more like April. Find a way to get out and enjoy it!
Moisture will surge northeast into the region during the day Wednesday and a wavy front will sag south into the area to close the work week. The combination of a deep moisture transport out of the Gulf will help ignite locally heavy downpours. While questions are certainly there in regards to timing, we’re leaning more towards the optimistic side of things with this update…thinking enough dry air may invade the area for a mostly dry Saturday. This is an, admittedly, low confidence forecast.
Regardless of whether or not we can enjoy a mostly dry start to the weekend, moisture will stream back into the area for the second half of the weekend. Heavy rain and embedded thunder looks likely Sunday.
Mostly Cloudy Today; Brighter Sunday…A weak disturbance scooted through the region overnight and lead to a quick “pop” of mixed rain/ snow. As expected, this wasn’t a big deal. We’ll keep clouds around today, but introduce more in the way of sunshine Sunday (after morning fog).
A warmer SW flow will develop in the new week ahead and help transport much warmer air into the region, but this will also lead to an increasingly wet pattern. Spotty early week showers will give way to more widespread and heavier rains for the middle of the week. Timing is up in the air, but there’s the chance we get into some briefly drier air Thursday PM, but we caution it won’t last long as a new surge of moisture arrives to close the work week. We’ll also introduce thunder chances to wrap up the work week.

As we begin to transition from winter to spring this weekend, it’s not only the impressive early season warmth that has our attention next week, but also a developing wet pattern.
A combination of ingredients will result in a rather prolonged moist southwesterly air flow, with a Gulf of Mexico connection. The end result is a wet pattern developing, especially come mid week.
So while you get ready to enjoy the warmer than normal spring feel, it may also be wise to have the rain gear handy.

Snow Transitions To Rain…Snow spread over central IN during the overnight and most neighborhoods accumulated between 1″-2″. Warm air advection will result in snow transitioning to rain from south to north as we progress through the late morning hours. All in all, it’ll be a raw Thursday.
Weak high pressure will build in and result in dry conditions Friday with sunshine returning.
A fast moving system will clip the region Saturday with a sprinkle or flurry possible, but this doesn’t appear to be a big deal in the least.
The bigger story? The developing unseasonably warm period developing next week, but we caution this will also be a wet period as a prolonged SW flow transports moisture-rich Gulf of Mexico air into the region. Heavy rain totals will be a good bet.
