The best chances for showers and maybe some thunder today will be from north of Terre Haute to near Seymour, near a trough of low pressure centered just to our south. There is, however, a chance of a shower popping anywhere in central Indiana through the afternoon, and perhaps into the evening, so that’s a difference from yesterday. The chances are still pretty low in northeast central Indiana, in places like Muncie. There is about a 30 percent chance for Indy, where the GP is happening this afternoon at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The upper pattern is pretty locked up, but a new, deep trough is arriving later Monday, finally driving a cold front completely through by the state by late morning Tuesday. There’s a chance of showers and storms at any time Monday, with a round of showers and storms likely Monday night. Showers could linger into at least Tuesday morning.
Following the front: it’s back to the cooler air, but this time it won’t last long. Nearly normal temperatures should be back by Friday, and there could be scattered storms next weekend.
