Pleasant Now; Very Cool, Wet (For Some), And Windy Close To The Week…
Highlights:
- Pleasant stretch of midweek weather
- Harvey’s remnants impact the region
- Gearing up for a strong cold front just after Labor Day
Calm Before The Storm…Weak high pressure will control our midweek weather. Patchy fog will eventually burn off to partly cloudy conditions this afternoon. A backdoor cold front will, uneventfully, slip through the state Thursday. An isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible Thursday afternoon, but most neighborhoods should remain rain-free.
Then our attention turns to Harvey’s remnants. The greatest impact on central Indiana will be unseasonably cool temperatures and strong and gusty easterly winds. While the precipitation shield should encompass all of central Indiana, we still believe this will be more “showery” in nature for the city and points north, including north-central parts of the state. Steadier and heavier rains are likely across southern and southeastern portions of the state (where the axis of 2″+ totals will be likely). The combination of high pressure located to our northeast and Harvey’s circulation passing along the Ohio River will result in a very stiff easterly flow Friday. Expect temperatures in the 50s most of the day with gusts over 30 MPH at times. Have the jackets and sweaters ready.
Moisture will begin to pull east of the region Saturday, but we’ll include the chance of morning showers.
We’ll be in between storms Sunday and Labor Day, itself. Dry and pleasant conditions can be expected before a strong cold front moves through the state Tuesday. Scattered showers and a possible thunderstorm will accompany this frontal passage, followed by the coolest air since last spring by the middle of next week. Get set for an October-like feel…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.30″ – 1.00″

Big Changes Loom…
Highlights:
- Wet and stormy at times to close the work week
- Much cooler air ahead
- Pleasant weekend on deck
Summer Weather Gives Way To An Early Fall Feel…Seasonably warm and humid conditions will help power widely scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms again Wednesday. More widespread showers and thunderstorms will arrive Thursday evening into early Friday as a cold front sweeps through the state. Winds will shift around to the northwest and turn gusty Friday afternoon, helping usher in an unseasonably cool air mass for the first Friday of August. This cooler regime will remain with us through the weekend. A quick-moving light shower is possible over the weekend, but most of the area will remain rain-free with mixed clouds and sun.
Temperatures will remain below seasonal norms early next week (and really throughout the majority of the first half of August) with scattered rain chances returning to our forecast. Looking beyond the current 7-day period shows our next storm system of significance approaching mid-to-late next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″ (locally heavier amounts)

Tuesday Morning Rambles: Shower Chances Return Today…
1.) 2017 continues to fly along. August features 3.13″ of rain during the month and temperatures that start out with an average high and low of 84°/ 65° and 83°/ 62° to end the month. Needless to say, temperatures this weekend will feature well below normal conditions that will feel more like it should jumping forward 6 weeks, or so.
2.) Moisture returns today and results in scattered shower coverage this afternoon and Wednesday. Most of both days will remain rain-free, but don’t be surprised by a passing shower at times.
Scattered showers return this evening across central Indiana.
3.) More widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms arrive Thursday afternoon into Friday morning as a strong cold front presses into the state. Localized heavy rain is possible and rainfall totals of 0.50″-1.00″ can be expected (with locally heavier amounts under stronger storms) between now and Friday.
4.) As surface low pressure wraps up over the Great Lakes Friday, it’ll help pull unseasonably cool air south into the state, along with gusty northwest winds. In fact, temperatures will remain steady or slowly fall as we move through the day Friday. It sure won’t feel like the first weekend of August as temperatures tumble into the 50s area-wide Saturday morning.
Temperatures will feel more like late-September this weekend.
