Good morning football fans (best time of year, IMO)! Your IndySportsReport.com High School Football Forecast features one more warm and humid evening highlighted by an increasingly stormy look as the evening transitions into the nighttime hours.
A cold front will slice into a very warm and humid air mass Friday night. After a mostly quiet weather day across central Indiana, conditions will begin to go downhill Friday evening and night as the front draws closer. We’ll monitor a line of thunderstorms approaching the region later tonight and a few of these could be strong to severe. This shouldn’t be a major severe weather episode, but it only takes one strong to severe storm to make a mess of things.
We’ll target 7p to midnight for a line of strong to potentially severe storms to move through central Indiana. Folks attending high school football games should monitor radar and weather conditions.
Dew points will be oppressive (in the lower 70s) and lead to a muggy feel. Precipitable water values will reach 2″ in spots and suggest a locally heavy rainfall threat within the stronger storms.
Official IndySportsReport.com high school football forecast for Friday, Sept 5th:
Increasingly cloudy, warm, and humid. Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will increase from north to south through the evening and nighttime hours. A few of the storms may become strong to severe and produce vivid cloud-to-ground lightning, locally heavy rain, and strong winds. Rainfall potential tonight will range from 0.25″ to 0.50″, but some local downpours may push totals closer to 1″ in localized spots. Temperatures will begin in the mid to upper 80s before slowly falling through the game.
