As a proud grad of Purdue University, I will very begrudgingly issue this forecast. Buckle up, it could be a fun one.
At 1003PM, ET, South Bend was reporting a temperature of 77 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. A band of showers and storms had moved into the eastern part of the state, leaving a humid night for northern Indiana. This should leave the area primed for more sultry conditions tomorrow.
There won’t be a triggering mechanism, save for the latent heat and humidity for tomorrow, but that could be enough for a few stray storms in the afternoon, none of which are likely to be severe. Another band of storms will arrive overnight with a perturbation associated with an area of low pressure moving east through the Canadian Prairies. This complex will hit around midnight and last into the wee hours. The next threat of storms is going to be better organized, and more closely tied to a cold front. This will arrive 24 hours after the first batch, close to midnight Thursday into Friday.
