Much Cooler with Scattered Showers

Posted By · May 23, 2013 at 5:49 am

Much cooler air is settling into Central Indiana with a chance for scattered showers as we head into the afternoon.

Highs will top out in the mid 60s today, but fall into the 50s by early evening.  Winds will gust out of the northwest up to 25mph, so it will be breezy and cool.  Scattered showers are likely to develop as we head into the afternoon.

Tonight you may need to kick on the heat!  Skies will clear and temps fall into the low 40s.

Friday looks great for carb day with highs in the mid to upper 60s with sunshine.

Saturday will be dry with the chance for late night shower, and for now, we’re still keeping a 20% chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm as we head into Sunday afternoon.  Enjoy a “cool” Indy 500 with temps around 70.

More rain comes our way Monday.

Sunday Heat & Humidity… Severe Storms this Week?

Posted By · May 19, 2013 at 6:15 am

It’s starting to feel a lot like summer around central Indiana.

Highs will reach the mid 80s today with muggy conditions.  For the most part, we’ll see partly cloudy skies, but there is a 20% chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm, especially in east and southeast central Indiana.  Our normal high this time of year is 74, so we’ll hit about 10 degrees above that.

today

Tonight we remain warm and muggy as temps only fall into the mid 60s.

Monday we will be close to record highs!  I’m forecasting a high of 88, the record is 90 from 1977.  An isolated shower or storm is possible Monday afternoon and Monday night.

Tuesday we could see strong to severe storms.  Stay tuned to Eyewitness News for the latest on the stormy timing.  Scattered showers and storms will likely continue off and on through Thursday.

As of right now Friday and Saturday look cool and dry… the running of the Indy 500 should be cool in the 70s, and mainly dry.  We’ll keep you posted as we get closer to race!

Not A Washout, but Rain/Storm Chances Stick

Posted By · May 17, 2013 at 8:48 am

Scattered showers and storms are in the forecast, but we’re not looking for a washout of a day.

Highs will reach the upper 70s with winds out of the southeast up to 10mph.  Storms will more than likely fire as we head into the afternoon.  Severe weather is not expected.

Saturday morning should be mainly dry, with just an isolated shower, with more showers and storms developing as we head into the afternoon.

Sunday will be mainly dry, before showers and storms come back into the forecast Monday, but are more likely Tuesday.

We’ll keep you posted on the timing of the rain through the weekend, as track activity depends on a dry forecast!

Scattered Showers & Storms

Posted By · May 16, 2013 at 6:46 am

Keep the umbrella handy, we have a daily chance of scattered showers and storms in the 7 day forecast.

Today won’t be a washout, but showers and storms will more than likely as they fire up along a stalled front that’s draped across the state.

Highs will reach the upper 70s today with a west wind up to 10mph.  At least today won’t be as breezy as yesterday!

Each and every day in the 7 day scattered showers and storms are possible.  We are watching the timing very closely, not everyone will see rain every day, but the possibility of showers and storms in the area exists.
