Category: Windy
Highlights:
- Rainy weather today
- Much cooler conditions coming
- Prolonged stretch of strong winds
The region will be under a squeeze play of sorts today as tropical moisture continues to lift north from the Gulf Coast and a cold front approaches from the northwest. The end result will be for an expanding shield of rain to encompass a large portion of central IN as the day progresses. Heaviest rainfall is still expected downstate, but there will also be some localized heavier totals across central IN, as well. This, of course, is much needed.
The cold front will pass tonight and shut off any threat of rain. The big story will become the much cooler air mass settling into the region for the foreseeable future. Additionally, factor in the goings on along the eastern seaboard with an area of high pressure building in from the north and very windy conditions can be expected as we move through late week into the weekend. Strong and gusty northeast winds will be very persistent, with gusts up to 30 MPH at times.
We’ll continue to keep close tabs along the happenings along the eastern seaboard late in the period. As of now we think high pressure should keep us dry and cool, but stay tuned.

Highlights:
- Dry day before showers arrive tonight
- MUCH cooler weekend with showers around
- Dry and pleasant early-mid next week
The first of two cold fronts pushed through the region last night and helped usher in late day clearing that set up a beautiful sunset across central IN. The heat of September’s open is long gone and in it’s wake we can expect gorgeous weather today, with some sunshine before clouds increase later today.
A secondary cold front will sweep in to close the work week and this front will be responsible for delivering gusty showers Friday, followed by an airmass that’s more October-like than September over the weekend. It’ll be a perfect weekend for football, chili, bonfires, and all things pumpkin! 🙂
Dry conditions return next week with moderating temperatures.

@Cryptics caught an amazing sunset last night, after what was a rather rainy, gloomy day.

Flooding is an issue across many central IN communities this morning. Particularly hard hit is the Muncie community. Zionsville’s Eagle Creek is also above flood stage this morning. Thankfully, breezy…

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″

Loaded Up…That’s exactly what the weather pattern is over the forecast period above. Before we get into that, how about that snow and sleet Monday?! Snow came down fast and furious Monday afternoon just north of the city and accumulated to the tune of a few inches across a strip of north-central Indiana. Travel was impacted, as well. Ah, spring in Indiana… 🙂
We’ll transition from the wintry times of Monday to thundery downpours later Tuesday and continuing through the mid week period. A couple rounds of rain and thunderstorms can be expected Tuesday. The first of which will arrive late Tuesday morning into the afternoon. This will then be followed by a potentially noisy round of thunderstorms late Tuesday night into the wee morning hours Wednesday. Most of the day Wednesday will feature dry conditions, along with a gusty SW breeze and much warmer conditions. The atmosphere will prime itself for another round of heavy rain and strong to isolated severe thunderstorms Wednesday night into Thursday. A cold front will finally sweep through the region Thursday morning and put an end to the rain and thunder as well as usher in a much colder regime to wrap up the work week.
As mentioned above, cold will be the word as we put a wrap on the week and head into the weekend. In fact, enough moisture and upper level energy may be present to create snow showers Friday. Talk about a harsh reality to Wednesday’s mid 60s. Don’t you love the weather roller coaster this time of year?! Cold remains firmly in place Saturday though with increasing sunshine.
As we look ahead to early next week, a warm front may lift north through the region Sunday afternoon and this could spark a light shower.

- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2.00″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Trace – Dusting

Increasing Sunshine…Early clouds and left over light rain will give way to afternoon sunshine Friday. All in all, a nice weekend is on the way! We can expect a sunny, mild, and breezy Saturday, but colder conditions await for the second half of the weekend. A dry cold front will sweep the state Saturday night and usher in a chilly Sunday.
A weak weather maker will scoot across the region Monday with a light rain or light snow shower and reinforcing chilly air.
Looking ahead, a cold front will take aim on the region Wednesday and we may be able to introduce just enough instability to promote an embedded thunderstorm as the boundary sweeps through the state. Cooler, showery weather can be expected Thursday.
