Off and on showers and thunderstorms will be a part of the weather forecast throughout much of the week.

The National Weather Service in Indianapolis says a few strong to severe storms are possible Monday night and Tuesday.

“We’ve got some chances for severe storms. They’re really isolated strong to severe storms with damaging winds, heavy rain, and lightning being the main threats from those,” says Crystal Petit, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.

Petit says cities and towns west of Indianapolis could see some severe weather, but the threat of severe weather is only marginal between 5 pm and midnight.

“Tomorrow (Tuesday) we’re looking at low chances for rain, showers, and maybe a few thunderstorms in the afternoon for Tuesday,” says Petit.

A cold front will move through with these storms.

“That will usher in some cooler, dryer weather. By cooler, I mean highs only in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Another system is coming in Friday,” says Petit.

On and off showers and thunderstorms are likely through the weekend. In case the storms become severe in your area, the National Weather Service recommends you know where to take shelter.
