Warm days, open windows, fresh air, ahhh the joys of spring!

Spring officially begins today at 1:32pm.

So, should you try to balance an egg today?  Check out this weather folklore!

I hope you enjoyed the sunshine this week, because clouds will be back in the forecast, including a chance for rain this weekend.

Highs today will reach the low 60s with increasing clouds.  Spotty showers are possible late this afternoon into Sunday morning.  Right now, it looks like the rain will be hit or miss until we get to tomorrow.

Sunday, highs cool off to the low to mid 50s.  Scattered showers are likely, especially in the afternoon.

Monday, the rain sticks around and temperatures are even colder.  Highs won’t even hit 50 degrees… we’ll be a few degrees shy of that.

Sunshine makes a return Tuesday with temperatures near 60 degrees.

I am loving this forecast… at least what’s in store for today!

Highs today will reach the mid to upper 60s with mostly sunny skies.

Saturday, an increase of clouds is likely with highs in the low 60s.  There’s a chance for rain as we head late into the afternoon into the overnight.  Saturday will be the best day of the weekend, and will not be a washout.

Sunday, rain is likely, highs only hit the low 50s, and we could see a couple of wet snowflakes mix in.

More scattered showers continue Monday, as highs don’t even crack 50 degrees.

Plan your time outside now… or find a way to sneak some!

Highs today will reach the mid 60s in Central Indiana with mostly sunny skies.  Add a few clouds to that with temps in the upper 60s for your Friday, and we have a wonderful forecast ahead! 

Saturday starts off with sunshine, clouds will be on the increase as temps hit the low to mid 60s.  By the afternoon showers and scattered thunderstorms are possible.  We’ll be watching this forecast closely, especially the timing of it as we get closer to the weekend.

Sunday, much colder air moves in and highs will only hit the mid 40s, we could see a few snowflakes mix in with the raindrops.

Monday, we start to dry out after a few sprinkles/flurries in the morning, and highs hit the mid 40s.

We stay dry until Wednesday, that’s when we’ll be watching for our next chance of rain.

As a part of Severe Weather Preparedness Week, a second tornado drill will sound between 7:30 and 7:45pm Wednesday night.

This is a practice, there is no severe weather expected.

You will hear sirens, and if you’re watching TV, you’ll hear about a tornado warning and also see a crawl at the bottom of your screen.

If you’re home with your families tonight, it’s a great way to practice going to your safe place during severe weather.

Remember, in the event of a tornado, head to the basement or the first floor of your home.  If you’re on the first floor of your home, get into a room without windows such as a bathroom or closet.

Today is also a good way to make sure your weather radio is in working order.

If you have any questions about the drill, or what to do in a severe weather situation, please post them in the comments section below.

If you love weather, consider becoming a weather spotter.  It’s quick training that will allow you to help report severe weather, and keep Central Indiana safe and  informed.

Here’s a list of upcoming training sessions put on by the National Weather Service.

This is a great activity for kids to learn about weather and science with parents!
