Good evening, friends. Here’s a video update as we get set to welcome a cooler, drier regime into central Indiana to wrap up the work week. Additionally, we’re also tracking another potential heavy rain maker for the second half of the weekend (not that we need more heavy rain)….
PS: The IndyWx.com mascots have attempted more times than not to interrupt my video updates, so I only thought it was time to give them a little face time. Meet Cameron (left) and Newton (right).

It’s been a bit of a frustrating afternoon as I’ve been trying to upload a video discussing our thoughts around tomorrow for a couple of hours….only to no avail.
So this post will have to do. Really our thoughts remain unchanged concerning the way things unfold late tonight and Wednesday. The severe thunderstorms to our northwest continue to rumble as of the 10 o’clock hour.
The Storm Prediction Center holds firm to the Slight Risk for the Ohio Valley and northern Tennessee Valley Wednesday.
We wouldn’t be surprised to see a portion (most likely the southern half) of the Slight Risk area upgraded to a rare Moderate Risk area with the update from the SPC early Wednesday morning.
Our thinking hasn’t changed in that we believe the current complex of severe storms arrives into north central Indiana in a weakened state early Wednesday morning. The rush hour will likely include heavy rain and plenty of thunder, though we think the majority, if not all, of this activity Wednesday morning will remain below severe levels across our immediate region. Showers and thunderstorms will rumble into the area, especially north of the city during the predawn hours and include plenty of heavy rain.
A second round of showers and thunderstorms will fire during the afternoon Wednesday and is likely to turn severe across south central Indiana and points south Wednesday afternoon. Dangerous conditions are a good bet, including large and destructive hail, damaging straight line winds, and tornadoes. Certainly if you have plans from Indianapolis to Louisville or Cincy tomorrow afternoon and evening please keep tuned to the latest weather conditions and radar updates. Further north, the severe potential is much less certain. We continue to think areas north of the I-70 corridor will struggle to shake the stability provided from the early morning rain and storms. We caution though that this remains a now-cast scenario and will require a close eye tomorrow afternoon.
Looking farther ahead, we’ll enjoy a refreshing blast of air Thursday-Saturday with bright sunshine, low humidity, and cooler temperatures. Warmth and humidity will return Sunday with rainfall potential around 1″ additional precipitation. This will be followed by yet another big push of cooler, drier air early next week. More on this in the days to come.

Tuesday is shaping up to be a very active severe weather day to our west.

We discuss the regime change from the low humidity, dry, feel to our air mass to one that turns increasingly muggy through the afternoon. This sets the stage for a rainy, stormy week upcoming. We think thunderstorms fire across central Indiana as early as 5-6 o’clock this evening.
Future scan radar suggests thunderstorms erupt as early as 5-6pm across central Indiana.

Drier air continues to take hold and will remain intact as we progress through the majority of the weekend. As the great Sean Ash says, “time to break out the grills!” Humidity values and rain/ storm chances will increase in a dramatic fashion next week. The video uncovers the details!
A much less humid air mass will continue to back itself into the region during the overnight.

The upcoming 7-10 days looks unsettled overall and quite wet. That said, we’re set to enjoy another beautiful weekend with a refreshing northeast breeze in play. We discuss this and look deeper into the month of June in this evening’s video update below!
Latest model data suggests widespread 2-3″ of rain could fall across central Indiana over the course of the upcoming 7-10 days.

The region remains under fire for severe weather potential, primarily for damaging straight line wind and hail per latest thinking. The video uncovers when you can expect this and looks ahead to the all-important Memorial Day and Indianapolis 500 weekend!
The region is under fire for severe potential Wednesday.
