I. We’ve got one more boring wx day on our hands before conditions slowly begin to turn more active as we head into the weekend. Short-term, high resolution data suggests a couple scattered showers or storms are possible Friday afternoon and evening. While the best forcing will remain to our south and east, we may be able to crank out a couple downpours as moisture levels increase through the PM. This certainly isn’t anything to cancel plans over, but just prepare for a passing downpour in spots.
II. Better chances of more organized rain and thunder will arrive Saturday evening into Sunday morning. While this still doesn’t appear to be a particularly heavy event for most of the region, guidance continues to trend wetter with this system. What all week looked like a 0.10” to 0.25” type situation now very well may end up in the 0.50” to 1” range. Not terrible for a region running drier than average month to date.
III. As colder air sweeps in behind the system, rain will mix with wet snow across northern parts of the state as we open the new week. The rest of us can expect a couple days (Monday and Tuesday) with highs in the mid to upper 50s and lows in the mid to upper 30s.
IV. The early portion of the work week will feature a return of dry weather but it’s safe to say next week won’t be nearly as uneventful as a whole. We’re tracking a midweek system that will deliver a few showers Wednesday and a more organized storm system that should provide a better coverage of rain and embedded thunder to close the work week. More on all of this and a long range look ahead in tonight’s Client video discussion!

We’re in cruise control until the weekend. A ridge of high pressure will continue to provide us with dry conditions. After seasonably cool air over the weekend and to open this week, we’ll kickstart the mercury this morning and eventually lead to highs in the 75° to 80° range each afternoon into Saturday. The only request (rather “order”) you have from us is to get outside and enjoy these unbelievable conditions!
Moisture levels will slowly increase over the weekend ahead of an approaching cold front. Clouds will increase Saturday and rain (maybe some scattered thunder) will follow Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Forecast models continue to remain rather “unexcited” on rainfall amounts: 0.10” to 0.25” expected for most area rain gauges.
While cooler air will follow early next week, data has backed away from the idea of a frost or freeze for now.
That leads us into a couple questions come mid to late next week. The GFS model keeps us high and dry- not delivering another round of precipitation until early to mid Week 2. Meanwhile, the European model drives a couple fast moving systems into our region as early as next Wednesday night/ Thursday, followed by a second feature Friday.
More on this and the long range pattern inside our Client video discussion Thursday evening.

First and foremost, here’s wishing you and your family a very happy and blessed Easter Sunday! The week ahead doesn’t offer up much “excitement” in the weather department, but that comes to a screeching halt early week 2 as a potent storm system finally delivers a return of precipitation, and perhaps more notably, an unseasonably cold “jab” of air!
In the short-term, high pressure will dominate the upcoming work week, including a “rinse and repeat” regime of sunny days along with moderating temperatures.
Highs will climb into the mid to upper 70s by the 2nd half of the work week. Dry conditions will prevail.
It’s not until this weekend when unsettled weather will return to central Indiana and the Ohio Valley as a whole. This is all thanks to a cold front and associated area of low pressure.
Though early, model consensus shows a “cut off” low developing early next week, keeping unsettled conditions in play. It’s not just the likelihood of lingering precipitation, but a significant push of late season chilly air is also dialed up to plunge into the region. In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the air grow cold enough where rain showers may mix with and change to wet snow showers.
Regardless if we’re talking snow or not, highs in the 40s with lows in the 20s will be a bitter pill to swallow after the extended stretch of pleasant (and increasingly warm) weather we’ll continue enjoying through the week…
Needless to say, this system will be a topic of discussion through the upcoming week. More in our Client video discussion Monday morning!
