A Bit Cooler Today

May 16th, 2012 at 5:17 am by under Weather

TODAY:  A cold front is dropping into Indiana this morning.  There are a few showers in northern Indiana, but as the front moves south, the moisture decreases.  Having said that, there may be 1 or 2 showers this morning.  After the front clears, skies will clear and set up a great afternoon.  Highs will reach the mid 70s.

  

TODAY AT IMS:  The track will see a nice day.  Even if there is a brief morning shower, by afternoon, it will be sunny and a great afternoon of temps in the 70s.

THIS EVENING:  It will be a fantastic evening with pleasant temps along with cool skies.

OVERNIGHT:  It will be a comfortable night with lows dropping into the low 50s and upper 40s.

THURSDAY:  Slightly warmer air will try to build back in during the day.  This will nudge highs up to the upper 70s for highs.

8-DAY FORECAST:  Looking ahead to the Pole Day and Bump day at IMS, or whatever weekend plans you may have, it should be a dry and warm weekend.  Highs will climb into the mid 80s both days.  Rain chances will return Monday and Tuesday of next week.

There is a line of showers and thundershowers moving toward central Indiana.  This weather system will weaken as it moves our, so there is just a chance for a stray shower or thundershower north of Indianapolis early Wednesday.  The weather system moves into southern Indiana on Wednesday afternoon and may trigger a few thundershowers.  Most of central Indiana will be dry.

Overnight temperatures will be in the 50s.  Forecast highs are in the range of 75-80 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday.

Even warmer air is on the way for the weekend, with highs in the middle 80s on Saturday and Sunday.  The next best chance for rain isn’t until early next week.

There is a weak weather system triggering a few showers to our northwest.  This system will get here late Tuesday night and early Wednesday.  There is a chance for a stray shower or thundershower from Indianapolis north through early Wednesday morning.  As the system moves south, so will the rain chances.  There will only be a few pop-up showers or storms possible across the southern third of Indiana through Wednesday afternoon.

Overnight temperatures will be in the range of 55-60 degrees.  Forecast  highs on Wednesday and Thursday are in the range of 75-80 degrees.  Even warmer air arrives for Friday and the weekend, with highs in the lower and middle 80s.  Right now after Wednesday, the next best chance for rain is early next week.

THIS EVENING: It should be a quiet evening here.  There may be a few rumbles of thunder in northern Indiana, but it should stay away from us for the evening hours.

TONIGHT:  A cold front will approach Indiana after midnight tonight.  There doesn’t look like there will be a lot of moisture to go along with the front, but we could squeeze out a few showers and rumbles of thunder after midnight.

WEDNESDAY: There may a few spotty showers or thunderstorms early in the morning, then the weather should clear out nicely and the rest of the day will be fine.  Highs will be a touch cooler, but still mild into the mid 70s.
