Stormy Evening Is Replaced With Cooler And Drier Air; Looking Ahead To The Busy Weekend On Deck…

A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will continue to march east across the state this evening. As has already been the case, the primary concern with this line of storms will be damaging straight line winds and the NWS has been busy issuing warnings this evening.

The line will pass into eastern Indiana over the next hour, or so, before weakening as it rumbles into Ohio.

Much cooler and drier air will work in overnight and you’ll certainly notice the difference out the door in the morning. Lows will fall into the lower 50s by morning. We’ll go even lower than that Tuesday morning with widespread middle 40s expected.

Resurgent warmth and humidity will make a return for the 2nd half of the week and with it will come that sultry feel. As a new heat ridge takes up residence across the region, storm systems will “flirt” with the area from time to time. Accordingly, we expect unsettled conditions not only for the 2nd half of the work week, but continuing into the Indy 500/ Memorial Day weekend. It certainly won’t rain and storm the entire time, but the threat for a passing storm at any time will be high.

More in the morning around the pattern evolution into early-June, but we continue to believe the MJO will have it’s say and that things will transition towards an eastern trough as we put a wrap on May and open June.
