May 25-26

I have good news...I think...that you will enjoy!   Our precipitation chances are looking lower and lower, if you are over the northern half of the state.  Over the south, you will see more rain... but it won't be a multi-day rain event.  The dominoes that kept IMS mostly dry yesterday are going to work in our favor.  A pretty constant high pressure system to our east is going to meander around the eastern region.  This is going to keep the northern half mostly dry -- and will get the southern half's rain (with some thunder) in and out in a matter of 36 hours or less.  The main chances for rain looks like Tuesday (southern third moving north), Tuesday night and Wednesday through around 7-8 pm...about as far north as Lafayette, Kokomo and Marion.  North of this line may not see a drop of rain over the next 11 days.  Will this throw us into a drought?  No -- most of us have had enough rain over the last 8+ weeks to keep the drought classification away.  However, you will want to keep an eye on your flowers and gardens.  We should see some rapid growth regarding our crops, especially beans, corn and wheat.  We also have pretty seasonal temperatures ahead in this forecast.  No 90's for highs - yet.   There are many Winners of the Week ahead - you pick yours!  Beyond the 11 day forecast period we look to get hotter, and more sticky.  Deeper into June we will see more as far as higher heat indices.  Thankfully, what looked like a severe weather potential this week is now gone.  Next severe weather chance looks more likely as we get closer to June 10th.
