A cold front will slice into a hot and humid air mass Sunday evening. The daytime hours Sunday are expected to provide plenty of sunshine to go along with that hot and increasingly humid air mass (courtesy of strong southwest winds), but things will turn stormy Sunday night. We’re growing close enough now to begin to bracket the most likely time for potentially strong to severe thunderstorms and focusing in on the hours between 10p and 2a. Damaging straight line winds are of greatest concern, but large hail and a quick spin-up tornado can’t be totally ruled out. It’ll be important to set those weather radios before going to bed tomorrow night, or have a means of getting the latest watches and warnings.
Forecast radar 11p Sunday
Forecast radar 2a Monday
Forecast radar 8a Monday
The line of storms will weaken in rather dramatic fashion as they continue to push south into the lower Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley Monday morning.
Stay tuned.

Highlights:
- Frosty start Thursday and Friday for some
- Wet, chilly, and raw Saturday
- Brighter 2nd half of the weekend
- Watching next week
Tonight’s water vapor loop, courtesy of WeatherTap.com, is showing drier air making it’s way into our region. This will set the stage for plentiful sunshine Thursday and Friday (well deserved, I might add :-)). Winds will also begin to diminish this evening. The combination of winds going calm and clearing skies will promote the chance of a frost and freeze across central IN tonight (and likely again tomorrow night) as reinforcing chilly air pours into the region. Those with ag. interests be sure to take note.
Attention then turns to the weekend and we’ll label it as “half-n-half” for now. A wet, chilly, and raw Saturday should give way to increasing sunshine Sunday. Early to mid next week will provide a new set of challenges and we’re leaning towards the wetter solutions yet again. Keep in mind the drier forecast model sets (GFS in particular) had to come around and play catch up to those leading the way Saturday (EC and GEM). Expect changes and stay tuned.
Forecast lows tonight, thanks to Weatherbell.com, are suggested to fall into the lower to middle 30s. Should the wind go calm then expect a few readings around 30 degrees. We’ll likely dip near these readings again Friday morning.
After a dry close to the work week, moisture increases late Friday night into Saturday morning. Expect a wet Saturday with early rainfall numbers projected in the 0.50″ to 1″ range.

Highlights:
- Unseasonably chilly air arrives behind a band of showers
- Needed dry time Thursday-Friday, but frost potential looms
- Wet, cold, and raw Saturday
It’s been a chilly and WINDY open to the week. After a day of sunshine Tuesday, clouds thickened Tuesday evening and showers aren’t far behind. We forecast a band of light to moderate rain to move north to south during the overnight period- particularly between 1a and 5a. Unseasonably cool air will be the rule as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend. A new storm system looks to deliver widespread rain Saturday. Factor in temperatures running well below average and you have the makings for a rather nasty Saturday (a far cry from last Saturday’s sunshine and 80 degree warmth).
A band of showers will move through central IN Wednesday morning and will be followed by another push of unseasonably cool air. Forecast radar shown above, courtesy of Weatherbell.com, shows overnight rain moving through the region. Between one tenth and one quarter inch is a good bet.
High resolution forecast models suggest many dip to around freezing Thursday and Friday morning. Those with ag. interests, take note.
Wet weather returns Saturday. The European and Canadian forecast models led the way with this system and now the GFS (shown above) is playing catch up towards a cold and wet Saturday.

Busy Times Continue…After an initial round of rain and embedded thunder moved through the region overnight and early this morning, most of today will be very quiet. Look for a gusty southwest wind and increasing sunshine as we head into the afternoon hours.
Rain and storm chances will ramp up as we head into the nighttime hours and overnight. A period of heavy rain and noisy thunderstorms will rumble through central Indiana after midnight into the pre dawn hours Thursday. Additional rainfall of 1″ is a good bet tonight/ early Thursday.
MUCH colder air will quickly sweep into the region Thursday and could even allow some of the back end rain to switch to some wet snow before ending across north and northeastern portions of the area. This won’t accumulate.
We’ll wrap the week up on a cold and wintry note. Scattered snow showers and well below normal temperatures can be expected Friday, with dry and cold conditions Saturday.
The next weather maker will blow through Sunday in the form of a warm front. This will spark a few showers Sunday afternoon and evening along with providing a warmer time of things early next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.00″ – 1.25″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Trace
