More Dry Hours Than Stormy…It’s hard to believe the long Labor Day holiday weekend is upon us.  The unofficial end to summer (by the way, meteorological fall runs September through November) will wrap up on an unseasonably warm note.  Southwesterly breezes will blow and transport plenty of warm and humid air northbound.  Needless to say, It’ll feel unseasonably warm and humid and scattered thunderstorms will be around.  High moisture content will help promote localized heavy downpours. That said, we’re certainly not looking at any sort of all day washouts by any stretch of the imagination.  Get outside and enjoy the late summer warmth, but just be prepared in case a shower or storm briefly blows overhead.

Better Rain And Storm Chances…Best rain chances in the above forecast period will arrive Monday evening into Tuesday. This is when we anticipate most widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms, including the potential of a couple stronger storms and locally heavy downpours.  Slightly less humid air will work into the picture by mid week.

Remaining Above Normal…Rain chances can’t be totally eliminated from your forecast late next week, but overall coverage will likely be diminished when compared to Tuesday.  It’ll remain warmer than average with mid to upper 80s in the forecast (normal highs are around 80 this time of year) with a southeastern ridge in place.  In fact, many thermometers may crack the 90 degree mark next Friday.  We’re making up for lost time in the heat department…

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast:  0.00″

Another slug of moisture will impact central Indiana Saturday. Not everyone will get wet and no all day rains are forecast, but there will be some periodic wet times.

Break In Humidity Won’t Last Long…A briefly drier air mass will filter into the region tonight into Thursday, but won’t last long.  Heat and humidity will return to wrap up the work week and move into the weekend.  A couple of storms will be possible Thursday, but most should remain rain-free.

Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will develop Friday through Sunday.  We’re not talking about a weekend wash out by any means and there will be more dry hours than stormy.

Early Week Cold Front…A cold front will move through the area Tuesday evening and feature a cooler and drier brand of air for mid week.  Stormy times continue beforehand with shower and thunderstorms in our Monday and Tuesday forecast before we dry things out Wednesday.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast:  0.00″
A briefly drier air mass will move into the region late tonight into Thursday.  Humidity will return quickly to wrap up the work week.

Frontal Boundary Leads To Better Shower And Storm Coverage…A cold front will slip through central Indiana later this evening. This will be a focal point in better coverage of showers and thunderstorms today, especially this afternoon and evening.  Locally heavy downpours can be expected though rainfall amounts won’t be uniform (rarely are this time of year).

The boundary will move just south of the region Wednesday before stalling out. It’ll remain close enough to maintain mention of scattered thunderstorms into your mid week forecast with a drier forecast Thursday.  Temperatures will slip backwards a couple of notches and humidity values will improve to a degree mid week.

Stormy Times Return…After a somewhat drier time of things mid week, unsettled times will return late week into the Labor Day weekend. No all day rains are anticipated, but there will be periods of storminess into and through the weekend.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″-2.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

We received a couple colorful sunrise pictures this morning from Boone County, highlighted by cloud shots from storms ongoing to our north.  Thanks to John (T) and Paul (B) for these great photos this morning!

Monday Evening Rambles…

1.) What exciting news we had the pleasure of sharing earlier this morning.  We’re pumped for our partnership with the fine folks over at IndySportsReport.com!

2.)  The steering current will keep us on our toes over the coming days as periodic storm clusters threaten.  It’s tough to pin point precise timing or location where these storm complexes will track, but it’s safe to say the overall region will be a focal point for additional storminess in the days ahead.

3.) Heat and humidity remain in the oppressive range through late week, before a potential punch of slightly cooler/ drier air.  Admittedly, ridges can be difficult to move this time of year and models are struggling in handling the details in the mid range.  We’ll keep an eye on things. As of now, we don’t see any sort of major push of cool/ refreshing air through at least the short to mid range period.  The Canadian is the most bullish on a period of cooler air as we get into September.  Stay tuned.

4.) We’ve made up for lost time in the rainfall department over the past week, or so.  What was, initially, a bone dry August has improved.  We’re now only running a little more than three tenths behind where we should be, officially.

Hot And Steamy…It hasn’t been so much the actual air temperature as humidity that’s made things feel so oppressive out and about the past few days (dew points have been running in the lower to middle 70s, or more like the Gulf of Mexico region).  Today we’ll add more sunshine and this will most likely help temperatures approach, if not exceed, the 90 degree mark.  Most of today will be dry, but we’ll eye developing showers and thunderstorms to our northwest this evening and these may impact portions of the region tonight.

Active Pattern…An active weather pattern will continue through the week, including multiple rain and storm chances. Heat and humidity will remain, as well.  It’s tough to pin point exact times where rain and storm chances will be greatest- individual disturbances rotating around a ridge to our south will be the culprit.  Current thinking places another round of storms into the region Tuesday night into Wednesday and again Thursday night into Friday.

Relief In Sight…We forecast a slightly cooler and much less humid pattern building in to wrap up August and open September. We’re not forecasting any sort of major blast of cool air, but we will see a big relief in humidity values later next weekend.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″-2″ (locally heavier totals)
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
We'll keep a close eye on thunderstorms to our north later this evening and overnight. Portions of central Indiana may have to deal with storms late tonight into Tuesday.

IndyWx.com; IndySportsReport.com Announce Long-Term Partnership

ISRlogo2-280x121Whitestown, IN- Just in time for the 2014-2015 football season, we’re excited to announce a new partnership with IndySportsReport.com.  IndyWx.com will be the sole provider of weather forecasts for Colts games this fall, including that all-important detailed tailgate forecast.  Additionally, IndyWx.com will provide a state-wide weather break down for the many high school football games all autumn long.

The Indiana Sports Report was started in 2013 as an alternative to pay walls and ‘babes of the day.’ If you want a no-nonsense, no frills approach to your sports coverage, then you’ve come to the right place. The Indiana Sports Report has the entire state of Indiana sports covered from high school to the pros, from Evansville to South Bend. The reporters of the Indiana Sports Report bring you insight from the courts and fields and locker rooms. ISR provides you with up-to-the-minute analysis and unfiltered opinions.

The Indiana Sports Report is an accredited member of the media. This is how ISR differs from other blogs and so-called news sites. ISR is viewed as a credible news source for Central Indiana. ISR is fully credentialed with:

  • Indianapolis Colts
  • Indiana Pacers
  • Indiana Fever
  • Indianapolis Indians
  • Indy Eleven
  • Indiana Ice
  • Indianapolis Motor Speedway
  • Lucas Oil Raceway Park
  • Purdue University Athletics
  • Indiana University Athletics
  • Ball State University Athletics
  • Indiana State University Athletics
  • Butler University Athletics

ISR enjoys covering all sports from a new perspective. All of their reporters are new to the business and have a general “thirst’ for digging in.

Mr. Jessen has some exciting plans for IndySportsReport.com moving forward.  In addition to the mainstay items that you can find on the site, the team has planned expanded state-wide coverage.  “This fall, we have expanded into covering high school football as well as basketball. It brings a whole new look to our site than before. And with our growing college coverage of Purdue, IU, ISU, Ball State and into IUPUI, we want to cover all sports properly; not just the ones that bring the most viewers.”

Like Bill, Mr. Jessen is a fan of the colder months.  “I am a fall and winter kinda guy. I love watching patterns change and things develop honestly. God has made our world so perfect with how the seasons change and react that it is awesome to sit back and watch His glory and handiwork.”

We are thrilled to be a partner with the Indiana Sports Report and look forward to providing a behind the scenes forecast you learn to count on all autumn long!
