The storms up north will settle south and lose steam when the arrive in Central Indiana. We time the arrival of the rain in the city around 4 to 5 a.m. A downpour will be possible and then move south before sunrise.
COLD FRONT SATURDAY
There will be improving weather Saturday with the passage of a cold front. We expect winds to switch to the northwest around 2 p.m. Cooler and drier air will filter in through the afternoon hours. The change in air mass will lead to brightening skies and lowering humidity and a refreshing low by Sunday morning once again in the 50s. The comfortable weather will lock in for Sunday and Monday with strong indications that a surge in humidity along with rain chances returning by mid-week.
