Central Indiana is set for a warm and humid week, with daily chances of thunderstorms beginning this afternoon. Isolated strong to severe storms may develop as an upper-level impulse interacts with a weak surface trough in the area. Morning thunderstorms have already been reported, but more scattered showers and storms are anticipated, especially during the afternoon hours. Residents should be aware of the potential for heavy rainfall and localized flooding, with the severe weather risk peaking between 1 PM and 7 PM for the eastern part of the state.
Tomorrow, a cold front is expected to sweep across Indiana, sparking numerous showers and thunderstorms mainly in the southern regions. Severe storms remain a concern, particularly due to the possibility of damaging straight-line winds on Thursday afternoon. The high temperatures are projected to be in the mid to upper 80s throughout the week.
As the weekend approaches, Central Indiana can expect a soggy forecast with scattered showers and thunderstorms on both days, fueled by afternoon heating. Heavy downpours and frequent lightning are likely, but temperatures will hold steady in the mid to upper 80s.
Looking further ahead, the long-range forecast suggests a heat wave may develop next week, with temperatures soaring into the 90s combined with high humidity. This could result in some of the hottest days of the season, providing both challenges and the opportunity for summer activities later in the week. It’s a good reminder for residents to stay hydrated and be prepared for varying weather conditions ahead.
