Warmth Returns - Soggy Saturday?

Good evening! It turned out to be a decent Friday across the state. Milder temps were definitely a welcome change from the chill that has been around much of the week. I am now tracking a good chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms late tonight into tomorrow for much of the state. Will this effect your Saturday plans? Before I get to the details, here is a quick glance at the weekend forecast: 

For Saturday, rain and storm chances are looking more and more likely. Despite that, I don't think it will be a total washout. If it rains much of the day, temps may struggle to reach 70. However, things begin to dry out tomorrow night into Sunday, as warm and windy weather returns. Sunday looks great, but windy and warm, with highs near 80 degrees. Areas in northern & western Indiana may see a spotty storm, but most places will enjoy a dry Sunday.


Storms will be in the forecast Monday, then we dry out by Tuesday. A brief cool-down in the low 60's for Tuesday, then the warmth returns. I think the latter part of next week will be well in the 70's. Right now, I don't see anymore frost of freeze issues, at least in the next 10 days.


Before I go, I want to mention that a major, perhaps historical tornado outbreak is getting ready to take shape tomorrow in the Plains. The tornado parameters are off the charts, and tomorrow looks to be a extremely dangerous day for the country's mid-section. Let's pray right now that this outbreak is much less severe than thought, and that no lives are lost in the storms.

Have a great evening!
