Weekend rain:

An approaching cold front will bring isolated to scattered showers across our area. As we get into the overnight hours, there is the potential for a rumble of thunder. Scattered showers will continue for much of Sunday’s morning hours, and there is a potential for some heavy downpours at times. The cold front shouldn’t move through around lunchtime on Sunday, which will gradually end our rain chances as we get into the mid-afternoon hours.

Total rainfall amounts could be around a half-inch to an inch of rainfall across central and southern Indiana.

Despite the cloud cover and the rainfall, temperatures will still be mild on Sunday with highs into the mid-60s.

Next week:

Dry conditions will return starting Sunday night and carryover into the beginning of the work week. Veterans Day looks nice with partly cloudy skies and highs around 60. Partly cloudy skies on tap for Tuesday with highs into the lower 60s. Rain chances are expected on Wednesday, with high temperatures into the mid-60s and another significant cooldown coming our way later next week.
