Winds Of Change…

Screen Shot 2015-10-10 at 5.09.58 PMHighlights:

  • Mostly dry theme continues
  • Get used to the term “breezy!”
  • Much cooler air coming

We couldn’t have asked for better weather for a Saturday and, thankfully, we’ll experience a repeat tomorrow (tack on a few degrees for afternoon highs).  Breezy SW winds (gusts upwards of 30 MPH) will kick temperatures up to near 80 Monday afternoon before a cold front sweeps through the region Monday night.  While an isolated shower is possible Monday, most of central IN will remain rain-free.  Cooler air will arrive Tuesday and Wednesday.

A stronger cold front will move into the region Friday.  Like our early week front, this one, too, will be moisture-starved.  Windy conditions and MUCH cooler air will be the big deal going into next weekend.  Most communities will experience their first frost Saturday and/ or Sunday morning.

Warm Thursday With A Cooler Open To The Weekend…

Screen Shot 2015-10-07 at 9.53.16 PMHighlights:

  • Warm Thursday
  • Cold front swings through Friday
  • Great fall weekend coming

Thursday will feature another round of morning fog across central IN, but should be less widespread than the previous couple mornings.  A southwest wind ahead of an approaching cold front will help boost temperatures up close to 80 this afternoon.  As the front moves in Friday a broken band of showers and embedded thunder will accompany it.  We’re not talking a lot of rain Friday, and the cooler air will be the bigger deal as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.

Another front will swing through the area Monday afternoon and evening.  Ah, the “ups and downs” of fall will remain prevalent throughout the upcoming seven days…

Pleasant Stretch Continues For Now…

Screen Shot 2015-10-05 at 10.10.52 PMHighlights:

  • Dry, warm days continue
  • Friday cold front
  • Ups and downs of fall

Some mid and high level cloudiness will drift across the Mid West today and a sprinkle or two is possible, but filtered sunshine can also be expected after AM fog burns off.  We’ll return to warm, sunny days and clear, cool nights tomorrow and Thursday and this will combine with the unseasonable chill of last weekend to continue putting the color change into high gear across central IN.  BTW- the upcoming weekend should be fantastic for an autumn drive to take in the fall foliage.

A cold front will approach the region late Thursday and we bracket Thursday evening into Friday morning for the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Cooler air will filter into the area as we head into the weekend.

The “ups and downs” of fall will continue next week as warmth arrives early in the week before cooler chances once again prevail later in the week….

Weekly Highlights: Action Out West…

Highlights10051011There’s a whole slew of new products we’re going to start rolling out over the next several weeks, including more videos, as well. One of the new features is a nationwide weekly highlight map, helping showcase the big-ticket weather items that have our attention over the upcoming week. While we could side with going with fancy graphics, we chose to go the route of a hand drawn map for old time sakes. 🙂 This will be posted on Sunday or Monday of each week.

1.)  The upper low associated with the catastrophic flooding in SC will continue to slowly pull away from the area as we progress into Tuesday.  Our thoughts and prayers remain with the fine folks of South Carolina as recovery and clean up begins.  Hard to believe areas of SC were in a significant drought as soon as last week.  Those exact same areas have received as much as 25″-30″ of rain over the past 72 hours.  Simply amazing stuff.

2.)  A series of storm systems will clip the Pacific Northwest with heavy rain and wind as the week progresses- particularly mid week into the weekend.

3.)  A storm system and significant moisture will move through the Four Corners region and into western Texas Wednesday into the weekend.  Heavy rain and localized flooding will result.

4.)  A cold front will move through the Mid West later this week with showers and embedded thunder, along with cooler air for the weekend.

As always, you can follow us on Twitter (@indywx) or e-mail us at bill@indywx.com for more on the variety of weather consulting we provide. Have a great day and God Bless!
