Warm Temps and Heavy Rains On The Way

HUGE WARM-UP STILL ON THE WAY...

I put together the GFS temperature maps for the next several days, you can see the progression of the warm-up....

I think the temperature forecast is tricky for the next couple days considering the snow still on the ground, but I think we should still manage to reach the 40's for highs in many areas tomorrow and Wednesday. By Thursday, parts of southern Indiana reach the 50's, with central and north in the 40's. Temps reach the 50's and 60's Friday and Saturday!!!

RAIN CHANCES/FLOODING POTENTIAL...

Dry weather is the rule through Wednesday, then it's a WET forecast! Widespread rains and will work south to north across the state throughout the day Thursday into Thursday night. With this system alone up to 1" of rain is possible. This is the HPC rainfall potential through Friday.

Other than a spotty shower, much of Friday and early Saturday will be all about the warmth!! Our next system arrives Saturday during the day right into Sunday. This system will track toward the Lakes, with the warmth rain, and thunder ahead of it, then a sharp drop in temperatures later Sunday, as much colder air rushes in behind the system. With that system 1-2" of rain will be possible as well. With all that said including Thursday's storm system, check out how much water could accumulate between now and then...

That's a widespread 2-3" of rainfall. I certainly think there will be higher totals closer to the Ohio River, with the already melting snow pack plus the heavy rain, flood prone areas need to keep a close eye on future forecasts. Thanks for reading!
