Saturday Morning Rambles: Eyes On Severe Threat To Open The Week And Winter’s Return…

  2. A warm front will lift north through the region Sunday night with showers and embedded thunder. Temperatures will jump back into the lower and middle 60s across the southern portion of the state Monday morning. As a cold front swings into the relatively warmer and moist airmass, a line of stronger storms will be a good bet across the southern half of Indiana late Monday morning into early afternoon.

Strong and gusty winds (40-50 MPH) can also be expected across the entire region outside of storms.

3. Attention will then shift to mid week as multiple pieces of energy try and bundle together to generate another size-able storm. Confidence on any one particular solution is low at this distance, but with colder air pressing east, this system will likely have a more widespread wintry component on the north and west flank. No reason to speculate further from this distance, but know we’ll continue closely monitoring trends.

4. Finally, it continues to look like any and all who believed winter was over will be sorely mistaken. Confidence continues to grow in a cold to much colder than normal 2nd half of March, which likely continues to push into at least early April.
