Strong to severe storms are possible, mainly from about 6 PM to midnight. The most widespread concerns are heavy rain that may cause flooding and damaging wind gusts, but an isolated tornado or small hail may also be possible, especially in areas along and south of the Ohio River. A Flood Watch is in effect until 1 AM.

Darkness in the middle of the day is what Evansville, and much of the rest of the Tri-State, will experience on April 8, 2024.

After a very chilly weekend, warmer weather returns for the workweek, but there are also multiple rain chances throughout the week.

Our weather remains unseasonably chilly through the rest of the weekend. We will see a gradual warm-up through most of the workweek, but rain chances also return.

We have cold and mostly cloudy weather on tap to start the workweek. Temperatures will fall back out of the 40s and through the 30s overnight, bottoming out in the upper 20s by early Monday morning with wind chills in the lower 20s. Monday will be mostly cloudy and breezy with a cold wind from the northwest at around 8 to 16 mph and gusts as high as 20 to 25 mph possible. As a result, our temperatures will only climb into the low 40s Monday afternoon, and the wind chills will probably only make it into the low to mid 30s.

Our skies will stay mostly cloudy Sunday, and a stray shower cannot be completely ruled out, but most of the day will be dry with high temperatures in the mid to upper 40s Sunday afternoon.

Mostly sunny today, although we will see a few passing clouds. While it is calm this morning, our winds will pick up this afternoon, coming from the south-southwest at around 8 to 16 mph with gusts as high as 25 to 30 mph. That flow of southerly air will push our temperatures into the low to mid 70s this afternoon, which is about 20° above average for this time of year!

Sunday will be mostly sunny and about 10° warmer than average with high temperatures in the low to mid 60s.

A Wind Advisory is in effect for the entire Tri-State from 3 AM to 3 PM Monday for winds from the southwest around 20 to 30 mph and gusts as high as 40 to 55 mph. Those winds may blow around loose objects, knock down a few tree limbs, and could make driving high-profile vehicles like semi-trucks more difficult, especially on east-west oriented roads.

Sunday will be mostly cloudy and mostly dry, although a stray shower cannot be ruled out. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 50s. I have added an Alert Day Monday for strong winds. A few thunderstorms are also possible Monday morning, but it looks like we will most likely dodge the risk of severe weather. However, a Wind Advisory will likely be issued for sustained winds around 20 to 30 mph and gusts as high as 40 to 50 mph.

Temperatures will remain above average for the next four days. Rain is possible Monday morning, but our best chance of rain arrives Wednesday.

Sunday will be mostly sunny and a bit breezy at times with winds from the south-southwest at around 9 to 18 mph and gusts as high as 30 mph. That southerly breeze will help push warmer air up into the Tri-State, and our temperatures will top out in the upper 50s to near 60° Sunday afternoon. That is about 10° warmer than average for this time of year.

After starting the day with temperatures in the 30s, we will climb into the upper 50s to low 60s this afternoon under ample sunshine. Warmer weather is on the way for the first half of this week, but we are also tracking breezy conditions, storm chances, and a big cool-down by the end of the week.

Sunny and slightly warmer-than-average weather will continue for the next couple of days, but we are tracking big temperature changes and rain, including a chance of storms, later in the week.

Monday will be partly cloudy and not as breezy as today but still about 10° warmer than average for this time of year with highs in the low to mid 50s. Our temperatures will climb into the upper 50s Tuesday and Wednesday as our winds pick back up from the south. However, rain also returns to the forecast as a low pressure system moves through our region.

Sunday will be partly cloudy and breezy with winds from the southwest at around 8 to 16 mph and gusts as high as 25 to 30 mph. That flow of warmer air will help push our temperatures into the lower 50s Sunday afternoon. As that flow of warm air from the south continues, we will tack on a couple more degrees, climbing into the mid 50s during the middle of the week. However, rain also returns to the forecast.

We are on alert today and tomorrow for possible freezing rain and wintry mix.

Saturday will not be as windy as Friday, but we will still have winds from the south-southwest around 7 to 14 mph with gusts as high as 25 to 30 mph. That continued flow of warm, southerly air will likely make Saturday the warmest day of the week with high temperatures in the mid 50s! Rain is likely Saturday night into Sunday as a cold front swings through the Tri-State.

Overnight, the winds will die down, the clouds will clear, and our temperatures will fall back into the low to mid 20s. Although it will not be as breezy, wind chill values could still dip into the mid to upper teens early Friday morning. We will see a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day Friday. A stray shower cannot be ruled out Friday afternoon or evening, mainly north of I-64, but most of us will stay dry. Friday will be another breezy day as our winds pick back up from the south-southwest at around 10 to 20 mph with gusts as high as 30 to 35 mph. However, that will also push warmer air up from the south, which will help our temperatures climb into the mid to upper 40s Friday afternoon.

Tonight and Thursday will still be cloudy and breezy with winds from the west around 9 to 14 mph and gusts as high as 20 to 25 mph. A few flurries or sprinkles cannot be completely ruled out overnight and into Thursday morning, but most of us will stay dry. Temperatures will fall back into the upper 20s by the end of the night and will only climb a few degrees into the low 30s Thursday afternoon. Wind chills will be in the low 20s for most of the day.

We remain on alert for a mix of rain and snow showers along with some gusty winds tonight through Wednesday morning.

Some locations, mainly in Illinois, may pick up 2 to 4 inches of snow from this system! Those areas are currently under a Winter Storm Watch. By contrast, most of western Kentucky will only get an inch of snow or less. Much of the middle portion of the Tri-State, including Evansville, may pick up 1 to 2″ of slushy snow, but the snow forecast could easily trend up or down if the track of this system shifts by even just a few miles, so check back for an update tomorrow!

The cloudy skies will continue overnight as temperatures fall back into the lower 30s. Those clouds will hang around into Monday morning, but we will see some gradual clearing throughout the day and may get some sunshine Monday afternoon. Temperatures will remain seasonably chilly with highs in the low 40s. More rain and snow showers are possible Tuesday night into Wednesday.

A few light rain and snow showers remain possible through Sunday morning, but most of those showers will push off to the east by about midday. Sunday afternoon will be mostly dry but still cloudy with high temperatures in the low 40s.

Warmer weather is on the way, but it comes with rain chances.

Monday will be mostly sunny, although there will be a few passing clouds throughout the day. Our wind direction also shifts Monday, and a gentle breeze from the south-southwest will start pulling warmer air up into the Tri-State. That flow of warm, southerly air will continue through the middle of the week, pushing our high temperatures into the mid to upper 40s Monday, low to mid 50s Tuesday and upper 50s Wednesday. Rain chances return Wednesday and ramp up on Thursday.

Sunday will be mostly cloudy with a few showers possible, but any chance of rain will be light and isolated, and many of us will stay dry. Temperatures will hold steady for much of the day, only climbing a few degrees into the lower 40s Sunday afternoon.

Once the sun rises, we will start to climb through the 30s, breaking into the low 40s by lunchtime before topping out in the mid 40s this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Clouds will roll into the Tri-State this evening, then a few scattered showers are possible overnight, mainly after midnight. Low temperatures will fall into the low to mid 30s. Light, spotty rain chances will linger into Saturday morning. I do think we will get a break from the rain Saturday afternoon, and some of you may even get a brief peek of sunshine, but a few more showers will move through our region Saturday night and Sunday. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 40s both Saturday and Sunday.

Mostly clear and chilly this morning with temperatures in the mid 30s. Clouds will roll into the Tri-State throughout the day, and this afternoon may be mostly cloudy in many locations. It may also be a bit breezy at times with winds from the west-southwest at around 7 to 14 mph and gusts as high as 25 mph. High temperatures will reach the mid 40s.

We are on alert for heavy rain and thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind gusts tonight through Tuesday morning.

Foggy conditions may impact travel in some locations tonight through early Monday morning. Showers are likely and thunderstorms are possible from Monday evening into Tuesday morning. While the greatest risk of severe weather will be focused to our south-southwest, a few strong storms with gusty winds and heavy rain may be possible here in the Tri-State.

Mostly cloudy and quiet weather to start the new year, but we are on alert for heavy rain and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday.

We have a soggy day on tap today, but we are also on alert for heavy rain and storms early next week.

Warmer, wetter weather on tap to close out 2022, and we are monitoring the possibility of storms early next week.

Although the bulk of the snow has fallen, we remain on alert overnight as one more round of light, scattered snow or wintry mix will be possible this evening. Any accumulation will be minor, likely less than half an inch. Temperatures will drop into the low 20s overnight, so any roads that are slushy or wet will likely refreeze, so watch for slick spots and patches of black ice.

The dangerously cold conditions improve slightly for Christmas Day, but we are on alert for additional snow on Monday before a big warm-up to close out the year.

We remain on alert tonight through Christmas Eve for accumulating snow, dangerous cold, and strong winds. The entire Tri-State is under a Winter Storm Warning until midnight tonight and a Wind Chill Warning until noon on Friday.

The next few days will be chilly but relatively quiet. However, we are on alert for winter weather Thursday and Friday, including the possibility of single-digit temperatures, sub-zero wind chills and accumulating snow!

Although there will still be a few clouds hanging around, I am holding out hope that we will see at least a little sunshine on Monday. High temperatures will reach the mid to upper 40s, which is very typical for this time of year. Our next big weather maker arrives Tuesday into Wednesday. The warm front from that low pressure system will bring us a shot of warmer air from the south, pushing our temperatures into the lower 50s Tuesday and upper 50s Wednesday. However, scattered rain is also likely beginning Tuesday evening and continuing into Wednesday morning. With little to no break in between, it looks like we will then see another round of showers Wednesday afternoon and evening as the cold front from that low pressure system passes through our region. Some of that rain may linger into Thursday morning.

We will finally see some sunshine during the second half of Sunday, and that clearer weather will carry over into Monday. However, our next big weather maker arrives Tuesday into Wednesday.

Monday will be mostly cloudy with high temperatures in the upper 40s. A few spotty showers are possible throughout the day Monday with better rain chances overnight. That weather system will slide to our southeast then stall out, and additional waves of rain will flow along that river of atmospheric moisture throughout the week. That means more scattered showers are possible again on Tuesday and Wednesday, although neither day will be a total washout. Our rainiest day this week will likely be Thursday.

Sunday will start out mostly cloudy then turn mostly sunny in the afternoon. Clouds roll back in Sunday night, and this time they will stick around for a while as a stream of atmospheric moisture parks itself just south-southeast of the Tri-State. Every day Monday through Saturday looks mostly cloudy with at least a slight chance of rain.

Saturday will be mostly sunny and breezy with winds from the northwest at around 8 to 16 mph and gusts as high as 30 mph. That flow of sharply colder air from the north will drop our temperatures into the upper 30s to low 40s for most of the day Saturday with wind chills in the low to mid 30s.

Friday will be mostly cloudy and breezy with winds from the south at around 10 to 20 mph and gusts around 30 to 35 mph. Portions of the Tri-State are under a Wind Advisory from noon to 9 M. That flow of warm air will push our temperatures into the mid 50s Friday afternoon, despite the lack of sunshine. A few spotty showers are possible on and off throughout Friday, but most of the day looks dry. Our best chance of rain will be Friday evening into the overnight hours as a cold front sweeps through our region. I’m not expecting any storms or severe weather from this system, just breezy showers. That rain will likely taper off before sunrise Saturday morning, and the clouds will quickly follow.

We are on alert Tuesday night. Most of the Tri-State is included in a Marginal Risk of severe weather, which is a level one out of five on the risk scale. That means an isolated strong to severe storm is possible, but widespread severe weather is not expected.

We will see increasing clouds throughout the day Saturday, but most of the daylight hours look dry, then rain will spread across our region from southwest to northeast Saturday evening. Rain is likely Saturday night, and some heavy rain or an isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, but severe weather is not expected. Scattered rain will carry over into Sunday morning. The bulk of the rain will move out by about midday, but a few isolated showers may still be possible through the afternoon.

Friday will start out mostly cloudy with an isolated shower possible in the morning, then it will turn mostly sunny in the afternoon. Scattered rain is likely Saturday evening, overnight, and through Sunday morning.

Thanksgiving will be mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 50s to near 60°, but scattered showers will move in from the west around 11 AM and rain will be possible on and off throughout the afternoon and evening.

These milder temperatures will be sticking around for a while, but we are tracking rain that could impact some holiday plans.

After more than a week of highs in the 30s and 40s, our temperatures are finally returning to average this week, but rain may also affect some holiday plans.
