INDIANA, USA — Our next storm system is approaching with some more rain chances for Indiana. The trend is that the heaviest rain will avoid central Indiana and go farther south. Expect some light rain chances Friday evening across central Indiana, followed by scattered rain (light rain with some pockets of downpours and lightning.
No severe weather is expected for Friday, just some light rain at times later in the day. Indiana is under a low-end severe threat for Saturday. Mixed with some light rain, a few pop up storms are possible that could have some wind. These will be very isolated. Many parts of Indiana may not get a ton of rain.
TONIGHT
- On-and-off rain showers (40% chance)
- Dropping to the 70s
SATURDAY
- Morning rain showers with a few downpours, afternoon/evening pop-up storms (70% rain chance)
- Highs in the mid 80s
SUNDAY
- Clouds clearing, good afternoon sunshine
- Highs in the upper 70s
Watch for some scattered light rain Friday afternoon and evening. The most consistent rain chances may be north of Indianapolis. A quick downpour could mix in at times, but generally Friday's rain will not amount to much. The front hasn't arrived quite yet.
Rain chances increase Saturday. It won't rain all day, but expect on-and-off showers with a few storms at times too. The closer proximity of the front will help produce higher rain chances. There is a trend that the heaviest rain on Saturday may push into southern Indiana.
(This is mainly due to the upper levels and how aggressive they may be able to make higher, more robust clouds to make more rain.)
Many of us will wrap up rain chances by Saturday late afternoon. A few last minute pop-up storms are possible but not everyone will get one. We are all dry by Sunday! Enjoy cooler and drier air for the end of the weekend.
