Increasing Sunshine…Early clouds and left over light rain will give way to afternoon sunshine Friday. All in all, a nice weekend is on the way! We can expect a sunny, mild, and breezy Saturday, but colder conditions await for the second half of the weekend. A dry cold front will sweep the state Saturday night and usher in a chilly Sunday.
A weak weather maker will scoot across the region Monday with a light rain or light snow shower and reinforcing chilly air.
Looking ahead, a cold front will take aim on the region Wednesday and we may be able to introduce just enough instability to promote an embedded thunderstorm as the boundary sweeps through the state. Cooler, showery weather can be expected Thursday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 1.00″

Clouds Increase; Light Rain Thursday…The day is off to a much colder start, but also a sunny one. Mid and high level cloudiness will slowly be on the increase as we progress through the day and these clouds will give way to some light rain Thursday. The culprit? An area of low pressure passing to our south. Enough cold air will be in place to create a transition to some wet snow across northeastern portions of the state late Thursday night into early Friday morning.
The area will enjoy a southwesterly air flow and associated milder air mass for the first part of the weekend, but a cold front will pass Saturday night and usher in a colder Sunday.
A fast moving storm system will scoot through central Indiana Monday and team up with the colder air in place to lead to a mixture of cold rain and wet snow. Precipitation amounts will be light with this system. We’re back to a dry, chilly theme Tuesday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Trace

Cooler, But Dry Pattern…Monday was an absolutely gorgeous day! Unfortunately those picture-perfect conditions won’t last as a dry cold front passes early Tuesday. This will usher in a cooler and breezy St. Patrick’s Day, but nothing too terribly cold. Dry and chilly conditions remain Wednesday.
A southern storm system will draw close enough Thursday to increase our cloud cover along with a sprinkle or light shower. This won’t be a big deal.
The next item of note will be another mostly dry frontal passage Saturday night. Enough southerly flow will be in place Saturday to send temperatures into the lower 60s before the much colder air arrives Saturday night. This will set us up for a cold second half of the weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: Trace to less than 0.10″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

For the first time since October, temperatures will make a push into the lower 70s. That will certainly help if you have a case of the Mondays! A cold…

Sun-filled Couple Days…We’re in position for an absolutely beautiful couple days- complete with lots of sunshine and above normal temperatures! After the frosty start to the morning, temperatures will zoom into the lower 60s this afternoon. We’ll beat that Monday with a push for 70! Enjoy, my friends!
A dry cold front will sweep through the region Monday night and set up a colder mid week period.
A weak weather system may deliver light rain to the region Thursday. We’re not buying the snowy European model solution Thursday for now.
As we move into next weekend, modeling couldn’t disagree more on the outcome. Some solutions are very cold while others are warm. For now we’ll split the difference, leaning a little more towards the cold solution as the trough should strengthen next weekend over the Ohio Valley.
