Scattered showers are in the forecast today, especially along and south of I-70.

Off and on rain is expected as temps reach the mid to upper 60s today.

Tonight, scattered showers are still possible as temps fall into the low 50s.

Monday won’t be a washout, but there is a chance of showers in the morning and afternoon.

We kick off the work week in the 70s… and our next chance of storms moves in Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Truly a feast or famine weather set-up over Central Indiana.  Areas southwest of Indianapolis dealt with rain most of the day, and areas northeast of the metro enjoyed temperatures in the 70s.

Radar rainfall estimates show how much difference 20-25 miles made today…with some 24-hour estimates exceeding a half-inch.  South of I-70 will have the greatest rain chances for the remainder of the weekend, but another disturbance will pivot a shield for northward tonight that “may” make it to the Indy metro area.

This disturbance and associated rain wave should rotate out of Central Indiana after dawn, and allow for several hours of dry-time south of I-70 Sunday.  The thick deck of clouds tonight will keep temps in the 50s area wide.  Clouds thin enough Sunday north of Indianapolis to allow highs to shoot into the 70s again… while thicker overcast and rain showers keeps the southern third of the state much cooler in the 50s!

Though the center of the much advertised cold-core low will be hundreds of miles south of us…it will still influence our weather daily into the middle of the week.  Though I don’t expect widespread rain Monday through Wednesday, there is enough weakness to allow spotty showers or storms to pop during daytime heating.

But notice rain chances are only 20-30% in my latest 7 day forecast.  Friday looks like the wettest day of the week, and we’re tracking a cold front that has potential impacts on opening weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Our weekend forecast includes chances for rain… but not a washout.

Dry conditions are expected for the Mini Marathon!  Good luck runners!

Temps will reach the mid to upper 60s today with the chance for an isolated shower.

Tonight, an isolated shower is possible with temps in the low 50s.

Sunday, scattered showers are likely, especially along and south of I-70.  At this point, a washout is not expected, but keep the rain gear handy.

Next week we warm into the 70s with a **slight** chance for rain each day.  Storms move back into the forecast starting Friday.

The weekend won’t be a washout, but you’ll need to keep the rain gear handy!

Highs will reach the mid 70s with a spotty shower possible at any time today, especially as we head into the afternoon.

Temps for the Mini Marathon will be mild in the 50s.  A shower is possible, if rain does move it, it looks to be light.  Highs Saturday will eventually reach the low to mid 60s.

Keep the rain gear handy for Saturday afternoon and Sunday.

By next week, we’re back in the 70s.

We’ll have one more day in the mid-70s before a cool down this weekend. We’ll have a daily chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms through Monday. Our current computer models are pushing our low pressure area father south this weekend.

If that track continues, we’ll have mainly dry conditions this weekend with just a few showers. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Most of Central Indiana will remain dry today, but we can’t rule out an isolated shower or storm, especially in West Central Indiana.

Highs will reach the upper 70s today with partly cloudy skies, and mainly dry conditions.

Tonight temps fall to the upper 50s with the chance for a shower or storm.

Friday, will not be a washout, but there is a chance for showers and storms.  At this point, the day does not look completely soggy.

Scattered showers with temps in the low 50s are still in the forecast for the Mini Marathon with a chance for scattered showers.  We’re watching the forecast closely for any changes!

Check out the 7 day, a near daily chance of rain and temps close to our normal high in the upper 60s.
