Dry Time…Sun-filled days can be expected after morning fog burns off across outlying areas both today and Thursday.  Temperatures will be a touch above normal.

Friday Night Storms Ahead Of Big Cool Down…A cold front will pass the state early Saturday.  Ahead of this front, a line of strong to severe storms will be possible Friday night.  We’ll fine tune timing as we progress through the next day or two.  A blast of much cooler, drier air will then pour into the state over the weekend.  It’ll feel very much like fall around these parts…

Next Rain Maker…We’ll enjoy another dry and seasonably cool couple days before our next potentially significant rain maker gears up for the middle of next week.  Both the GFS and European forecast models are hinting this could be a significant rain maker, but caution this is still early and fine tuning will be required.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 1.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Break In Humidity Won’t Last Long…A briefly drier air mass will filter into the region tonight into Thursday, but won’t last long.  Heat and humidity will return to wrap up the work week and move into the weekend.  A couple of storms will be possible Thursday, but most should remain rain-free.

Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will develop Friday through Sunday.  We’re not talking about a weekend wash out by any means and there will be more dry hours than stormy.

Early Week Cold Front…A cold front will move through the area Tuesday evening and feature a cooler and drier brand of air for mid week.  Stormy times continue beforehand with shower and thunderstorms in our Monday and Tuesday forecast before we dry things out Wednesday.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast:  0.00″
A briefly drier air mass will move into the region late tonight into Thursday.  Humidity will return quickly to wrap up the work week.

Monday Evening Rambles…

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.
