With the first Saturday of April upon us, it’s time for our 1st installment of a weekly update dedicated just to our AG interests. These are updates private clients have been receiving for years and we’re excited to be able to include these Saturday updates within the All-Access platform now. These updates will be posted on Saturdays through the end of September.
Forecast Period: 04.07.19-04.14.19
7-Day Precipitation: Average amounts of precipitation expected.
7-Day Temperatures: Above normal temperatures expected.
Severe Weather:
We’re monitoring the possibility of severe weather Sunday (4.7.19) across the southern half of the state. Additionally, there’s the threat of strong to severe storms Thursday afternoon and evening (4.11.19).
Summary:
The upcoming forecast period will be dominated by (2) systems. A warm front will lift north across central Indiana Sunday morning and feature a couple of rounds of thunderstorms across the southern half of the state. While a significant and widespread severe weather outbreak isn’t expected, a couple of strong to severe storms are possible Sunday morning and again Sunday afternoon. Greatest concerns include a threat of large hail and damaging straight line winds.
A second storm system will impact the area Thursday afternoon and evening. Model guidance has trended significantly further north with the track of the surface low and accordingly, trends would favor a warmer solution here, along with the likelihood of more in the way of Gulf of Mexico moisture being pulled as far north as the OHV region. We’ll need to monitor for the threat of additional strong to severe storms during the Thursday afternoon/ evening time frame.
Behind the cold front, drier and cooler air will work into the area as we get set to close the work week. The upcoming week will be dominated by highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s and lows in the 50s. Temperatures will trend cooler late week and next weekend (more like highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s).
