Frosty Weather Turns Wet Saturday…

Screen Shot 2015-04-22 at 7.02.51 PMHighlights:

  • Frosty start Thursday and Friday for some
  • Wet, chilly, and raw Saturday
  • Brighter 2nd half of the weekend
  • Watching next week

4Tonight’s water vapor loop, courtesy of WeatherTap.com, is showing drier air making it’s way into our region.  This will set the stage for plentiful sunshine Thursday and Friday (well deserved, I might add :-)).  Winds will also begin to diminish this evening.  The combination of winds going calm and clearing skies will promote the chance of a frost and freeze across central IN tonight (and likely again tomorrow night) as reinforcing chilly air pours into the region.  Those with ag. interests be sure to take note.

Attention then turns to the weekend and we’ll label it as “half-n-half” for now.  A wet, chilly, and raw Saturday should give way to increasing sunshine Sunday.  Early to mid next week will provide a new set of challenges and we’re leaning towards the wetter solutions yet again.  Keep in mind the drier forecast model sets (GFS in particular) had to come around and play catch up to those leading the way Saturday (EC and GEM).  Expect changes and stay tuned.

1Forecast lows tonight, thanks to Weatherbell.com, are suggested to fall into the lower to middle 30s.  Should the wind go calm then expect a few readings around 30 degrees.  We’ll likely dip near these readings again Friday morning.

2After a dry close to the work week, moisture increases late Friday night into Saturday morning.  Expect a wet Saturday with early rainfall numbers projected in the 0.50″ to 1″ range.
