I'm sorry for not giving an update for so long but the weather pattern we are in is very boring. When is the last time someone heard a tornado siren in Monroe County? Was it last fall?
Here is what the National Weather Service office out of Indianapolis has to say:
.SYNOPSIS... Issued at 243 PM EDT Thu May 28 2020 Showers with isolated thunderstorms will move in to the region this evening and will continue overnight. By tomorrow morning shower coverage will increase and move towards the southeast. Additional development of thunderstorms is possible tomorrow afternoon. By Friday night, dry and cool conditions will settle in and remain through the weekend. For next week, central Indiana will be positioned is a warm but relatively dry pattern. && .NEAR TERM /Rest of Tonight/... Issued at 922 PM EDT Thu May 28 2020 Scattered to numerous showers and some thunderstorms continued to push across the southeastern half of central Indiana this evening. This activity will continue to move east, so adjusted PoPs to reflect this. Meanwhile, another line of convection back across eastern Illinois looks to impact the northwest forecast area soon. Tweaked existing PoPs for this line. Convection should diminish some as heating is lost, but it shouldn`t go away completely with the upper trough nearby and a cold front approaching during the night. Not expecting any severe storms, but heavy rain and gusty winds remain possible this evening. Adjusted current temperatures as needed based on latest observations. Only needed to make minor adjustments to overnight lows. Previous discussion follows... Clouds are moving off to the north, providing periods of sunshine and partly cloudy skies for portions of central Indiana. Conditions look to remain dry for the majority of region this afternoon and into the evening, prior to the emergence of a weak wave from the west. Lingering boundaries created by this morning`s precipitation may initiate isolated regions of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon near the western Indiana border, therefor PoPs have been slightly increased towards the west. Dew points in the mid 60s will provide sufficient moisture for shower development late this evening as lift increases with the impending wave. CAPE values above 1500 J/kg should also be enough to initiate isolated convective clusters within these rain showers. However, the lack of resemblance of any jets aloft will hinder thunderstorm development and any updrafts that become robust should diminish relatively quickly. A thunderstorm with temporary small hail and gusty winds is possible this evening, but severe thunderstorms will be unlikely. Showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue into the overnight hours, and should start to curtail as the wave moves east of the region. Clouds should extend throughout central Indiana, limiting diurnal cooling and keeping overnight lows in the mid to upper 60s. && .SHORT TERM /Friday through Sunday/... Issued at 243 PM EDT Thu May 28 2020 By Friday morning, an upper level trough will approach Indiana, and with it a distinguished surface trough. Ahead of this trough, scattered to numerous showers will be present. Isolated convection is possible in the morning, but lapse rates will be limited given non-peak diurnal warming. Showers will be scattered during the morning hours in NW central Indiana. These showers will slowly move from WNW to ESE during the day. During the afternoon, as surface temperatures increase, convective lines may develop out ahead of a frontogenetical region. Increased thunderstorm development should be isolated to southeast portions of central Indiana, where the front is not expected to move through until earlier in the evening. Any variation in the progression of this front will alter where initiation will occur. Surface winds will increase ahead of the surface trough as the day progresses. Some regions, specifically towards the southeast, may experience brief non-thunderstorm inducing wind gusts greater than 20 mph. By Friday night, the upper level trough should be east of Indiana and a cooler air mass will settle into the region. Given decreased cloud cover and moderate cold air advection, temperatures were lowered slightly against model progs. Expect overnight lows to be in the low 50s. The remainder of the weekend will stay cooler than normal with highs in the low 70s. The presence of fairly robust surface high pressure, and a broad ridge aloft keep conditions dry with mostly clear skies. && .LONG TERM /Sunday Night through Thursday/... Issued at 213 PM EDT Thu May 28 2020 Upper level ridging will move in at the start of the period as northwesterly flow begins to end and temperatures warm. Much of the period is expected to be dry with small chances for rain and thunderstorms Monday night into Tuesday as a weak wave rides the upper level ridge. Best chances look to be across the northern counties at this time. A stronger wave arrives by midweek bringing better chances for rain and storms with potential of a complex of thunderstorms in that timeframe. Severe weather threats don`t look too high right now, but will be dependent on the timing of the system. The potential is also there for much of the area to see 90 degrees on Wednesday assuming the upper level wave tracks as currently expected. Temperatures will begin the period near to below average before quickly warming to above average the middle of next week. &&
