Dry Start… Rain Develops Saturday

Posted By · April 27, 2013 at 6:22 am

Central Indiana is off to a dry start this morning, but scattered showers will develop especially as we head into the afternoon.

Highs will reach the mid 60s today.  Our normal high is 67, so we’re close to that.  Spotty showers are possible after 1pm… but will be likely by late evening.

The weekend won’t be a washout, but rain chances are there… and we’re nearing the wettest April on record.

Monday and Tuesday look fantastic!  Highs in the 70s to kick off the work week, and we could be close to 80 Tuesday!

Stay tuned for mid week storms.  The timing still needs to be worked out, but late Wednesday into Thursday and Friday showers and storms are possible.

An early look at the mini marathon shows start temps in the 30s with scattered showers.  We’ll keep you posted… that’s subject to change!

The 7 day forecast is warm and stormy.  It will not rain every hour of every day, but scattered showers and storms are possible each day through Thursday.  Some storms may be strong to severe so we’re watching each day very closely as we head into Wednesday and Thursday.

This week 1 to 3″ of rain is possible.

Check out the big cool down Friday.  Rain stays in the forecast with highs only topping out in the 40s.

If you’re heading out to Komen’s Race for the Cure Saturday morning, as of **right now** we look dry, but it will be chilly with temps in the mid 30s.

Clouds & Sun with a Warm Up in Sight

Posted By · April 13, 2013 at 6:24 am

Mostly cloudy skies look to linger for much of the day in Central Indiana, but most neighborhoods will warm into the 50s.  Our normal high this time of year is 63.

Today we’ll see a spread of temps from the upper 40s to the mid to upper 50s because of cloud cover.  Communities north of I-70 will hang onto cloud cover longer, limiting temps today.  Everyone will experience breezy conditions with winds gusting out of the west up to 20mph.

If you have evening plans, the weather looks perfect!  Check out these temps:

The 7 day forecast is very active.  Starting Monday we have a daily chance of showers and storms.  We will be watching for the potential for severe storms this week as temps remain mild.
