Rain Finally Goes Away!

Posted By Nicole Misencik· November 20, 2009, Comments

A mix of sun and clouds is ahead for Central Indiana today with highs in the low 50s.  No rain!

Saturday, that temp bumps up to the mid to upper 50s with partly cloudy skies.

Lows Saturday and Sunday morning will dip to the upper 30s, so it’s going to be chilly.

And Sunday, we’ll see highs in the mid 50s with a very slight chance for a few afternoon showers.  Our next best chance of rain arrives Monday night.

Enjoy the dry time while it’s here!

Bundle Up Yet Again

Posted By Nicole Misencik· November 19, 2009, Comments

Another day of clouds, scattered showers and cool temps are ahead for us.  Highs today will only reach the upper 40s with cloudy skies and a chance for scattered showers.  Today will be very similar to Wednesday, so the entire day will not be a washout.  But especially this afternoon watch for rain.

Friday the sun finally comes back, and so does a little warmth!  Highs will hit the low 50s.

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, get ready for the mid 50s with partly cloudy skies.

Late Monday our next chance for rain moves in.

Soggy Forecast Sticks

Posted By Nicole Misencik· November 18, 2009, Comments

Highs today will only reach about 50 degrees with cloudy skies and scattered showers.  We’re not looking to add a lot of rain to the bucket after late morning, but still we could see some showers.

Overnight lows drop to the upper 30s… brr!  A few showers are still possible.

Thursday, the chance of rain drops to about 30%, so we’ll start to dry out.  Highs will still be cool, only reaching the upper 40s to around 50 degrees.

If you’re hoping for a dry weekend, a change is coming… Friday and Saturday highs will reach the low to mid 50s with partly cloudy skies.  However, a slight chance for rain moves back into the forecast for Sunday.
