Periodically Stormy Weekend Before Autumn In July

Showers and thunderstorms sit just west of the state line as of this forecast update. These showers and storms will likely hold together as they cross into Indiana and approach central parts of the state late morning and early afternoon.  While these aren’t severe, some localized heavy rain and vivid lightning can be expected in spots. We’ll also keep an eye on storm chances Sunday and Monday. While everyone won’t see heavy rainfall this weekend (around half an inch on average for the region), some localized spots can expect amounts between 1-2″ where heavier storms occur.  The biggest story of this update will be the unseasonably cool air that blows in behind the front Monday night. This will set up a fall-like feel as we progress through next week.
