Enjoy The Sun While You Can…Low clouds will slowly but surely clear out of here during the overnight and early Tuesday morning. This will allow for lows to go “deep” into the 20s for most central Indiana communities Tuesday morning. Unfortunately, just as soon as skies clear, our next storm is brewing off to the west.
Clouds will increase Tuesday evening- eventually giving way to rain Wednesday. This is “part 1” of the multi-faceted storm system that’s taking aim on the region as we close out 2020. Rain will overspread the state early Wednesday (pre-dawn NW, around sunrise for immediate central IN, and early-mid afternoon across SE parts of the state). Eventually the front will settle south, placing us in the colder zone Wednesday night and Thursday morning. With the colder air will also come a period of drier conditions. By this point low pressure will begin to organize along the NW Gulf Coast before lifting north. As this takes place, the same frontal boundary that settles south of our region will lift back north as a warm front New Year’s Day. Rain (potentially heavy at times) will accompany this event, continuing into early Saturday. (The bulk of our 7-day forecast rainfall amounts will fall New Year’s Day, itself). Overall, model consensus is warmer today than the past couple of days, but we’ll keep a close eye on things.
Colder, drier air will filter back into the region next weekend…
