Key Points – Tuesday, June 6, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Tuesday morning! A little bit of a sneaky shower/storm threat across parts of Indiana and western Ohio later today that we discuss in the video, overall a quieter stretch of weather ahead. We go into detail in the video on winds, temperatures and dew points from normal over the next 4 days, as well as a big warm up in the forecast into the weekend and early next week. Getting into week 2 we expect the pattern to return to active here in the Midwest. Have a blessed day!
Expecting ~6-10pm scattered showers and storms possible tonight…coverage around 30-40% and will be quick-moving across northern/western Ohio into western/central Indiana…dry to the west.

Week 2 we start to ramp back up rainfall chances in the week 2 forecast…these outlooks are freshly updated on the site every day, make sure to check them out! The ridge in the western US relaxes here, allowing the moisture Pacific waters to be pushing into the Midwest.
Confidence:
- Average confidence of some spotty showers across eastern/central IN and western OH later tonight…very scattered in nature.
- Average confidence of scattered showers later Friday night into Saturday morning.
- Above average confidence we are drier and warmer than normal overall in the Midwest over the next week.
- Increasing confidence the pattern returns to active into week 2 as we feel more influence of the Pacific jet stream.
