Weather settings
morning: Monday was chaotic. Here's why: A group of storms is moving through Iowa and could reach western Indiana by Monday morning, weakening as the day progresses. Rain chances are highest west of Indianapolis after sunrise.
afternoon: After this complex dissipates, expect a thin line between towns where it rains and towns where it doesn't. These boundaries can help trigger sudden showers and storms throughout the day. Coverage should be isolated with sunlight in between.
night: After an already unstable day, the jet stream will strengthen the air overhead and help spark more storms. These may be the strongest storms of the day.
Overall, Monday's rainfall forecast will be mixed. Every town in Indiana will have a different schedule and experience the day differently. Some of us are left behind, while others are given meager options.
Now that we've got the disclaimer covered, let's get into some specific details of what we can expect tomorrow.
serious threat
A very low-end severe threat, Level 1 out of 5, exists for much of Indiana. Wind speeds could exceed 60 mph during some storms, especially Monday night.
After a day of warm, moist air and localized downpours, we can expect more concentrated showers and storms to develop later Monday night, usually after 5pm. South.
rain area
Monday morning: Areas west of Indianapolis have the best chance of rain, but technically most Hoosiers will have a chance of rain in the morning, while others will see scattered fog and sunshine.
At Monday afternoon: Almost everyone has a 40% chance of experiencing a sudden shower or storm. You also have a 60% chance of staying dry. Some of us will get torrential downpours, while others will stay warm and partly cloudy.
Rain chances may be slightly higher in Northeast Indiana, but nothing major has happened in the area over the past few days.
Monday night: The chance of storms is greatly increased. Although not yet 100%, scattered showers and storms are expected. Strong gusty winds are also possible, especially south of Indianapolis. Watch for some rain and some severe weather. The chance of a tornado is very low, but not zero.
If the storms start colliding with each other, we could have a long storm that rushes south. There will be gusty winds along the leading edge and the possibility of a spinning tornado.
Weather can affect your day
Leave the umbrella behind and prepare to do it indoors. There are still a few quiet, muggy hours left on Monday. Sometimes, storms can occur.
