From the NWS:

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Friday Night/...

Issued at 144 AM EDT Wed May 8 2019

Active weather appears in storm tonight and Thursday.

The GFS and NAM suggest a strong short wave pushing toward Indiana
within the quick SW flow aloft. Best forcing looks to arrive after
06Z. Meanwhile at the surface Low pressure surges northwest of
Indiana and the associated LLJ develops across Indiana ahead of
the low...reaching a moderate 40+ knots. Meanwhile within the mid
levels favorable moisture appears present and Time sections and
forecast sounding all show deep saturation by 12Z. Thus will trend
toward categorical pops late tonight and early on thursday as
these features pass. Forecast soundings show limited instability
and although a rumble of thunder will still be
possible...widespread thunderstorms arent expect late tonight or
on early thursday. Bad diurnal timing will also plague instability
development.

Frontal passage is suggested to occur Thursday evening...but the
bulk of any moisture and forcing will be well ahead of the surface
front...and any heating ahead of the front should be limited by
the rain expected during the day. Aloft...the GFS and NAM suggest
a weaker short wave to pass overnight while lingering and limited
lower level moisture remain near the front. We will need to keep
some small chances on Thursday night and early friday as these
features pass...however with limited moisture at this point any
precip amounts will be small.

By Friday afternoon and Evening forecast soundings dry out
considerably as strong high pressure builds across Indiana. As
For temps will trend warmer on Wednesday night with expected
precip and cooler on Thursday through Friday with expected
rainfall and cold air advection as high pressure builds across the
region.

.LONG TERM /Saturday through Tuesday/...

Issued at 329 AM EDT Wed May 8 2019

An upper wave approaching on Saturday will bring in some chances
for showers to the southern counties by Saturday afternoon as a
surface front remains between the Ohio and Tennessee valleys.
Stronger upper forcing will move in Saturday night and bring rain
chances across the area, but lack of instability should mean
showers and not thunderstorms. Chances will hang around most of
the area through Sunday morning as the surface system is slow to
move out, but by Sunday afternoon surface high pressure should
start building in and bring rain to an end. Small chances for
showers could move back in on Tuesday from the north if the
surface high gets shoved southward. Temperatures should be below
normal through much of the long term with upper troughing
transitioning to northwesterly upper flow. Near normal
temperatures could return for Tuesday.
