It’s Still Summer, After All…

Screen Shot 2016-08-23 at 7.09.32 AMHighlights:

  • Dry pattern continues today
  • Mid week storms
  • Questions abound this weekend

Heat And Humidity Return…High pressure will give way to an approaching cold front as we progress from early to mid week.  Ahead of the front, a southwest air flow will transport an increasingly warm and muggy air mass northward.  It’ll, unfortunately, feel much more humid Wednesday and Thursday.  With the frontal boundary nearby and the increased humidity, expect scattered to numerous thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday (along with locally heavy downpours).  A couple strong storms are also possible.

We still think drier air will press into central IN to wrap up the work week and head into the first half of the weekend.  That said, moisture returns as early as Sunday and leads to a mention of thunderstorms, especially during the PM.  Stay tuned as we continue to fine tune timing.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall:  1.00″-1.50″
