Many central Indiana neighborhoods are still in the 40s as of this update. Officially, the high so far today at IND has reached 50 and is more than 20 degrees below where we should be for this date.
The upper low continues to swirl over Iowa this afternoon and will help push a band of showers into central Indiana during the wee morning hours Friday. Additionally, the threat is there that a couple of the stronger showers Friday afternoon include some small hail with added instability and the very cold air aloft.
As we look ahead to the second half of May, don’t be surprised by a repeat performance in this weather pattern. We think brief ridging will be responsible for highs above the 80 degree mark the middle of next week, but the stage may be set for another stretch of unseasonably cool air to wrap up the month…. Additional details can be found in the video!

Note how dramatic of a temperature shift is occurring to our west- temperatures are down more than 30 degrees from this same time last night.
That cool air will filter into our region tonight and Wednesday. As a matter of fact, we still think Thursday has the potential to remain in the 40s for the better part of the day. The video below has more details on this and a look ahead to continued rainy times.

Posts this weekend will be a bit “off schedule” as I celebrate my brother’s graduation. That said, posts will hit the site over the weekend and we’ll also keep you updated on our Twitter feed- @indywx. A busy time of things lies ahead and a very active weather pattern will carry us into this time next week. Let’s get into some of the details!
1.) (2) rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be likely Friday. Weakening showers and embedded thunder will dissipate moving into central Indiana Friday morning. That said, depending on the amount of clearing that takes place behind the first wave of showers and storms will go a long way into determining the severity of round two Friday evening. The SPC (Storm Prediction Center) continues to highlight our area for a Slight Risk of severe weather (primary threats are large hail and damaging straight line winds) Friday evening. We also note the latest high resolution NAM simulated radar shows potential strong to severe thunderstorms moving in tomorrow evening.
2.) A second heavy rain and storm maker will arrive early next week. The Gulf of Mexico is open for business and suggests some locally heavy downpours are a good bet with both storms. This isn’t bad news as it’s been dry as of late. We’re now on day 9 without measurable precipitation and that will be changing in a big way over the upcoming 7 day period. Widespread 2″-2.5″ rains are a good bet over the upcoming week, including some locally heavier totals.
The detailed video discussion below covers more on the severe chances, heavy rain threat, and a much cooler pattern ahead!

We’ll enjoy another warm (almost considered downright hot by my standards :-)) day under mostly dry conditions. If your travels take you up across northern Indiana, a shower or quick storm is possible later this afternoon. Our weather will begin to change Friday as a cold front draws closer to the region. This will prompt shower and thunderstorm development- especially during the afternoon and evening. If we get enough sunshine into the mix during the first part of the day, some of these storms could reach severe levels Friday evening, including large hail and damaging wind. Officially, the Storm Prediction Center outlines the area for a Slight Risk of severe weather Friday. There are a few questions around the timing for Saturday, but for now we still think the day starts wet and dries out rather quickly, including increasing sunshine. Another storm system approaches early next week and will deliver another round of heavy rain and potential severe thunderstorms followed by a MUCH cooler air mass by the middle part of next week.

Good morning and happy Tuesday! We’re looking forward to a beautiful, and warm, few days ahead before unsettled conditions return by late week. The video covers those details below.
Monday’s highs displayed quite the spread across the state- ranging from near 90 down state to the upper 50s across far northeastern Indiana. Here across central Indiana, many enjoyed upper 60s to near 70 on Monday. (Click on the image to enlarge).
Despite the surge of warmth coming mid week, and likely again early next week, the overall theme is one that’s cooler than normal for mid May. Note the strong trough developing over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.

Scattered showers and areas of drizzle will dissipate tonight and cool conditions will remain. We’ll begin to moderate and introduce more in the way of sun as we go through the weekend. Have a great evening!
Simulated radar shows widely scattered showers around this evening.
