Expect thunderstorms early this week. A look at Fourth of July week forecast
The afternoon of June 30 could see intense thunderstorms, which could cause damaging winds (between 50 to 60 mph) and flash flooding across central Indiana. No flash flood warnings are in effect, said meteorologist Mike Ryan. He encouraged anyone out between the afternoon and evening to be prepared for heavy rain and lightning. Despite rain early in the week, your Fourth of July cookout should be (mostly) dry. Intense storms, then cooler temperatures, are expected from June 30 through July 6, following last week's eight days of 90 degrees or higher – something the National Weather Service said it hasn't seen since 2012. Conditions should dry up and cool down between July 1 through July 3, he said, as highs are expected in the mid-80s. Some thunderstorms are possible from July 4 to July 6 as temperatures are expected to rise. The weather on Friday seems typical for a Fourth of July and most people should stay dry, according to the National Weather Service. "I wouldn't cancel any plans for Friday," Ryan said. Temperatures will be close to 90 until July 6. Those outside on Friday should wear light-colored clothes and step inside every now and then, Ryan said. 🚨 Indiana Weather Alerts: Warnings, Watches and Advisories. ⚡ Indiana power outage map: How to check your status. 💻 Internet outages: How to track them. 🚫 What you should and shouldn't do when the power is out. 🐶 Your neighbor left their pet outside.

National Weather Service warns of 'interesting' day with storms, hail, high winds ahead
Several rounds of thunderstorms will hit Indiana on June 18, the National Weather Service warns. The most intense storms are expected to occur between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. "This afternoon has the potential to be pretty interesting," NWS meteorologist Earl Breon said. Hail could be larger than an inch in some areas, and the chance of tornadoes can't be ruled out. All the rain this morning and later this afternoon could lead to river and flash flooding, Breon added, so drivers should be mindful of low crossings on their routes. There's potential for wind above 70 mph, which could also create a serious hazard for drivers. Storms will continue until about 10 p.m., according to early June 18 models. The morning of Juneteenth will break with more showers and thunderstorms before 8 a.m. There's a "slight" chance of showers between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. on June 19, and then the stormy weather will resume. This weekend is predicted to be simmering hot, with June 22, June 23 and June 24 expected to hit temperatures higher than 90 degrees. 🚨 Indiana Weather Alerts: Warnings, Watches and Advisories. ⚡ Indiana power outage map: How to check your status. 💻 Internet outages: How to track them. 🚫 What you should and shouldn't do when the power is out. 🐶 Your neighbor left their pet outside.

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.
