Highlights:
- Cold times continue
- Rain arrives Sunday
- Monday storms
- Slowly moderating late next week
Bundle Up…With temperatures in the middle and upper 20s this morning and ‘chills in the 10s, it’s hard to believe we’re nearing mid-April! It’s simply downright bitter by April standards. Early snow showers and flurries should diminish as we progress into the afternoon hours with decreasing cloudiness, as well.
Dry times won’t last long as a warm front approaches Sunday. This will deliver a thick overcast back to the region, along with developing showers and embedded thunder into Monday. Early rain numbers into the forecast office offer up the potential of 0.75″-1.25″ on average in the Sunday-Monday time period.
We’ll turn colder and breezy (surprise, surprise) Monday night into the middle of the week, BUT moderating temperatures will develop by late week! 60s are in store for afternoon highs Thursday-Friday with lots of sunshine! Hang in there, friends!

While the morning is off to a frigid and quiet start, changes will begin to take place as early as late morning into the early afternoon hours. Another disturbance will rotate through central IN this afternoon and evening and interact with the unseasonably cold air (both aloft and at the surface) to ignite convective showers. Some of these showers, mixed at times with sleet and snow, will be accompanied by thunder.
Eventually, as cold air is reinforced this evening, all precipitation should transition to snow this evening into early Saturday. While it won’t snow for everyone, scattered heavy snow bursts will be plenty capable of producing a quick coating for some neighborhoods tonight.
Speaking of the cold, highs Saturday will remain in the 30s for most. Yes, this is April…
Hang in there, friends. After another chilly week next week, changes are in the offing for late month. Warmth is coming….eventually. 🙂

Highlights:
- Increasing rain chances today
- Turning colder and continued unsettled to wrap up the work week
- Snow showers Friday night-Saturday
- Wet start next week
Active Times Continue…Despite some thunderstorms across northern portions of the state this morning, most are dry. That will change this afternoon and evening as widespread showers and embedded thunder increase in coverage. On average, expect 0.25″-0.50″ by tonight. Winds will also be gusty (40 MPH+).
We’ll shift into a much colder pattern to wrap up the work week and upper level energy will help produce showers Thursday. As even colder air gets involved, rain will transition to snow Friday night into Saturday morning. Saturday will be downright cold.
Another wet weather maker approaches early next week. After a hard freeze Sunday morning, things will cloud up, turn windy, and feature evening showers. More widespread rains and storms arrive on the scene Monday. Colder air returns Tuesday!

Highlights:
- Prolonged unseasonably chilly pattern
- Mid week thunderstorms
- Snow flurries and another hard freeze late week
Have The Jackets And Sweaters Handy…A cold front slipped through central IN this morning and a NW wind shift is already doing the “dirty work” in delivering a much colder air mass to greet us out the door this morning. Get used to it, as a very chilly week is on tap!
A hard freeze will occur tonight as skies turn mostly clear and winds diminish. Tuesday will dawn sunny, but clouds will increase late and a light shower is possibly by the evening hours.
Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will push into the region Wednesday morning. While it’ll be briefly warmer (still slightly below average though), don’t get used to it. Much colder air will be with us to wrap up the work week.
A secondary push of late season arctic air will blow into town Thursday with showers before transitioning to snow flurries/ scattered snow showers Friday morning. The coldest morning in this late season chilly pattern looks to arrive Saturday morning, including widespread lower 20s.

Highlights:
- Busy, active pattern
- Unseasonably cool
- Multiple hard freezes ahead
Fast-Moving Weather Pattern…The upcoming forecast period will feature multiple fast-moving weather systems in an almost every other day format. It’s an unseasonably chilly pattern, as whole, as well.
Saturday has opened with plentiful sunshine, but clouds will quickly increase and winds will turn strong (50+ MPH gusts) as we progress into the afternoon. Batten down the hatches. A few showers will accompany those clouds and some small hail is also possible with a few “stronger” showers. As colder air pours in this evening, widely scattered snow showers will impact north-central IN.
A hard freeze will take place tonight into Sunday morning. High pressure will briefly supply a mostly sunny day Sunday, but our next system will approach late Sunday night. Consequently, SW winds will turn strong and gusty late Sunday and a broken band of showers will be associated with reinforcing chilly air late Sunday night into the pre dawn hours Monday.
A more significant storm system will arrive on the scenes mid week and feature more widespread rains Wednesday (perhaps an embedded thunderstorm, as well). As a cold front slides through here Thursday, MUCH colder air will push into central IN and transition lingering left over moisture into scattered snow showers/ flurries late Thursday night into early Friday morning. Friday certainly won’t feel much like April around these parts…
