Weekly #AGwx And #Severe Weather Outlook…

I. Significant heat wave builds from the Plains into the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes.

II. Heavy tropical downpours fall across the Southeast as a surface low meanders around the region early in the period.

Significant heat will bake the central Plains into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley this week. Meanwhile, chilly conditions will persist across the Northwest. The Southeast will run slightly cooler than normal.
A wet pattern will develop this week across the Southeast region. Wetter than normal conditions will continue across the Northern Plains, as well. Dry conditions can be expected across the OHV and Great Lakes.
Unless you find yourself under an isolated strong storm, most of central Indiana can only expect between 0.10″ and 0.25″ of rain over the 7-day period.
Quiet conditions can be expected, locally, with respect to severe potential. That will be another story entirely across the Northern Plains over the next few days, however.

Forecast Period: 07.04.20 through 07.11.20

A relatively quiet period of weather can be expected across not only central Indiana, but all of the Ohio Valley over the upcoming 7-days as a strong ridge of high pressure dominates our region. This will lead to a significant and prolonged period of hot and increasingly humid conditions, including a consecutive stretch of 90° + highs to the likes of which we haven’t seen since the infamous summer of 2012. If planning time outdoors, build in frequent breaks. Overall dry conditions are also expected this week. The exception to this will be the opportunity of widely scattered storms developing in the prime heating hours (afternoon and evening each day). Count yourself lucky if you get under one of these storms. Unfortunately, some neighborhoods may go the entire week without a drop of rain.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day weekend, friends!
