Increasing Sunshine; Unseasonably Cool Close To The Work Week…
Highlights:
- Cool close to the work week
- Ideal autumn weekend
- Turning breezy early next week
- Scattered showers Wednesday PM
Grab The Jacket…After a significant rain event across central Indiana, the weekend will offer up a much-needed time to dry out! Here’s an illustration of where heaviest rains fell over the past 24-36 hours, courtesy of Weatherbell.com. Please note these aren’t official rainfall storm totals. Many ground-truth reports into the office include amounts of 1.5″-3″. Thanks to each of you for your reports!
High pressure will build in over the weekend and create an increasingly sunny sky. The only caveat to that will be today where mixed clouds and sun across central IN become a little thicker and may yield lake effect rain showers across northern portions of the state later this afternoon.
We’ll turn briefly milder Sunday (upper 60s to around 70), but it’ll be a breezy day as a dry cold front sets it’s eyes on the region for a Sunday evening sweep! Reinforcing cool air will blow in to open the work week, but this should be a rain-free frontal passage as our air mass will be very dry.
The next storm system that could deliver rain arrives Wednesday evening. Along with scattered showers, a gusty SW wind can be expected before cooler air blows in to close next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.10″ – 0.25″

Much Cooler Feel; Increasing Weekend Sunshine…
Highlights:
- “Raw” weather today
- Increasing weekend sunshine
- Patchy frost Saturday morning
Wet And Chilly Today…An area of low pressure will track northeast along the Ohio River, into the interior portions of the Northeast between now and Friday. Additionally, a cold front will continue to press southeast today. The combination of these ingredients will equal a wet, raw, and breezy day across central IN. (Definitely NOT a chamber of commerce day). Temperatures will remain nearly steady through the daytime hours before sliding off relatively quickly tonight.
We’ll wrap up the work week and head into the weekend with increasing sunshine, but the coolest air of the fall season thus far. Temperatures will grow chilly enough Saturday morning to present a patchy frost threat for outlying areas away from the metro.
Winds will increase Sunday as our next cold front approaches. The air mass ahead of this front is very dry so we’re not expecting much, if any, precipitation with this next frontal passage (FROPA), but it will serve to offer up reinforcing cool air early next week.
The next storm system that could offer up rain will arrive Wednesday evening. From this distance, it doesn’t appear to be a heavy rain event.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.75″ – 1.50″

Warm Winds Give Way To Rain And Cooler Air…
Highlights:
- Warm SW winds
- Cooler air arrives mid week with rain
- Much cooler to close the week
A Little Something For Everyone…The big story over the next 24-48 hours will be unseasonably warm temperatures, but equally as impressive, strong and gusty winds (30-40MPH). Enjoy the extended period of shorts and short sleeves, but please note a “big hair warning” is in effect through Tuesday night. 🙂
A cold front will slip through the state Wednesday (from north to south) and could spark a scattered shower as it drifts south. Eventually the front will stall along the KY border. This is in response to an area of low pressure developing to our southwest. The surface low will lift northeast and help spread widespread soaking rain across the state Thursday. Additionally, we’ll note a much cooler air mass and winds that will shift around to the north in the PM, helping drive a much cooler close to the week. Moderate to locally heavy rainfall can be expected Thursday.
As we get set to put a wrap on the week, we’ll get back to weather we’d expect for this time of year: dry, cool, and crisp! In fact, patchy frost is possible Saturday morning across outlying areas away from the city.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.00″ – 1.50″
