Warmth Is Fleeting; Cooler Stretch Arrives By Mid-April…

Updated 04.06.21 @ 7:30a

This evening’s Client video update will handle the short-term rain and storm chances.

This morning, I wanted to review the upcoming shift towards a cooler period for mid-April.

We have a couple of things that will drive this chillier stretch of weather, including a negative NAO:

And a more amplified MJO moving out of the warm Phase 6 (now) into a much cooler Phase 7 for mid-month:

Note the period of blocking that develops as a byproduct of both:

This will force the cooler changes underneath, including a 5 day stretch of temperatures that likely average 5° to 10° below normal around mid-month.

Don’t put away those jackets and sweatshirts just yet…

Weekly #AGwx And Severe Weather Outlook…

Updated 04.04.21 @ 8:38a

First and foremost, we want to wish you and your family a blessed Easter Sunday. Weather will be absolutely gorgeous, including sunny skies and highs that will top out in the lower 70s this afternoon! Enjoy!

Widespread well above normal temperatures can be expected this week. Greatest deviation from normal will be found across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley.
Large scale drier than normal conditions are on tap. Exception to this will be across the upper Midwest and central Gulf Coast region.
We forecast between 0.50″ and 1″ of rain to fall on most central Indiana lawns over the upcoming 7-day period.
An outbreak of severe weather is expected across the central Plains (starting Monday night and Tue) and into the lower MS Valley by midweek.

Forecast period: 04.04.21 through 04.11.21

High pressure will dominate our weather to open the forecast period. This will result in a gorgeous Easter Sunday and extend into the early portion of the work week. We’ll notice humidity levels slowly climbing and a few more clouds will be around, but otherwise very nice conditions will prevail through most of the daytime Tuesday. Unseasonably warm conditions can be expected throughout the week ahead. Shower and thunderstorm chances will begin to increase Tuesday night and coverage will really ramp up through midweek. While the bulk of the severe weather is expected south of here, we’ll want to keep an eye on the potential of a couple stronger storms here Wednesday PM. The slow moving system should push east of here Friday evening, allowing high pressure to build back in as we open up next weekend.
