Cool temps & rain in the forecast for the week ahead!

Good Sunday evening! Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! The weather around here continues to be EXTREME! Many areas topped out at 100 or better yesterday, but today many areas saw much needed rain and 70's! Many areas saw at least some rain, with some areas getting enough to green back the lawns.

MUCH cooler Labor Day tomorrow! Highs will be in the upper 60s-low 70. Add to a stiff wind, it will feel cooler! A wind advisory has been issued for a portion of Indiana tomorrow, as a high pressure to the north, & a tropical storm to our south, will create a windy next couple of days. Also, expect partly sunny skies the next several days. Overall, it is going to be a great day tomorrow for any outdoor activities!

The cool temps will continue throughout the week ahead, but by mid-week, we could begin to feel the effects of LEE here in Indiana. Most of our Wednesday will be nice, but rain will start to move into southern-eastern Indiana by the evening. From Wednesday night - next Saturday, we have a daily chance of rainfall! The best soaking rains will fall in the southern part of Indiana, which should continue to help out our drought! Here is the latest 5 day rainfall map:


A good chuck of Kentucky is going to get absolutely hammered with rain! If I were to give any amounts for us, I would give a .50-1" of rain possible here in central Indiana, with 1-2" for most of southern & eastern Indiana from Thursday-Saturday, but, track may change, and that will have an effect of how much rain we get. If the track goes further west, we could see several inches of rain. If the track shifts east, then we won't get any rain. Kind of like tracking a winter storm, right? What is certain - is that this is going to be the coolest weather we have experienced since May!

This is just a tricky forecast for the next several days, so be sure to check back for more updates! Have a great night!
