Stormy days ahead as 2 weather systems 'park' above Indianapolis: the latest forecast
Thunderstorms will roll through Indianapolis beginning in the evening of June 4, the National Weather Service predicts. Stormy weather is expected to stick around until at least the morning of June 7, when the sun will return for a calmer weekend. The dreary days ahead are thanks to the collision of two weather systems over the Midwest. A northern cold front will meet a southern warm front, fizzling out with a prolonged series of storms. "The front is going to just sit over our area for a few days, which is why we've got multiple days of rain and thunderstorms," NWS meteorologist Kacie Fuson said. While a few isolated storms might cause dangerous high winds through the end of this week, flooding from excessive rainfall is the primary concern, according to the NWS. There's a marginal possibility that the thunderstorms will be severe. The stormy days will follow a cluster of hot, sunny days made hazy by wildfire smoke drifting over from Canada. The sun is expected to return this weekend once the colliding fronts move out of the area. But don't break out your lawn chairs just yet: a separate weather system will bring another round of storms next week, Fuson said. 🌥️/ ⛈️ Wednesday: Warm and hazy during the day, with temperatures as high as 87 degrees. Winds between about 10 and 15 mph and gusts as high as 28 mph. Scattered storms will develop and then become widespread overnight. ⛈️ Wednesday night: Thunderstorms and showers likely before 2 a.m., with another possible thunderstorm after 4 a.m. The chance of precipitation is 60%. 🌧️/⛈️Thursday: Showers with a high of 79 degrees. Thunderstorms are possible throughout the day. The chance of precipitation is 80%. ⛈️ Thursday night: Showers and thunderstorms. The chance of precipitation is 50%. ⛈️ Friday: Rainy with severe thunderstorms marginally possible after 2 p.m. A high temperature of 79 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 60%. ⛈️ Friday night: A chance of thunderstorms and showers between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. The chance of precipitation is 60%. 🌤️/⛈️ Saturday: Mostly sunny with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Temperatures will reach around 78 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 30%. ☀️/⛈️ Saturday night: Mostly clear, with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8 p.m. Temperatures will cool to around 58 degrees. ☀️/ 🌧️Sunday: Sunny skies with a high temperature of 81 degrees.
