Good news for a change of pace. A large area of high pressure builds in from the Ozarks, and the sun will shine. More to come tomorrow, as a warming trend kicks in.
Rain returns late Sunday night into Monday morning, with heaviest rain across southern Indiana. Another wave brings another shower chance Tuesday. There could be a few snow showers Wednesday, as cooler air returns (for a shorter stay this time.)
Mild temps will be driven by a pattern change in the upper atmosphere. There will be several days of southwesterly flow leading to the warmest temperatures over the coming week to be highs in the 50s on Sunday and Monday. Also moving in from the SW is a low pressure system that is expected to bring rain to the area by late Sunday. At this time, a bulk of the rain looks to stay south but southern Indiana could see over half an inch of rain. An upper trough, which models generally agree it`ll be of large amplitude, will quickly follow. The associated cold front with this trough looks to catch up with the moisture already in place, keeping at least chance PoPs through midweek. As temperatures drop Tuesday night into Wednesday, rain looks to transition snow before exiting later in the day Wednesday. Minimal accumulations expected at this time given that most of the moisture will have exited the area already. Total rainfall Monday and Tuesday will be between .25″ & .75 of rain for most.
The colder airmass will bring highs in the 30s again for late mid week and lows in the teens and 20s. The surface high in place will provide dry weather for the latter part of the week as well.
