Category: 7-Day Outlook
Highlights:
- Afternoon light shower possible
- Very humid, tropical feel this weekend as things heat up
- Splash and dash weekend storms
- T-storms likely with a cold front Monday
We’re off to a pleasant start today, but clouds will increase this afternoon with a light shower possible, particularly from the city and points north. Most of today will be dry.
The big story this weekend will be a much more humid feel. While it’ll be hot, it won’t be anything out of the ordinary for late July around these parts. That said, factor in a dew point in the lower to middle 70s and it’ll feel extremely oppressive. A warm front will pass Friday morning with a thunderstorm threat, and then we’ll also mention a widely scattered thunderstorm during the afternoon/ evening through the weekend.
A cold front will move in Monday with more widespread showers and thunderstorms, along with a return to “average” temperatures by the middle of next week.

Highlights:
- Another round of PM storms
- Cooler; drier stretch of weather midweek
- Storms rumble Friday as hot and humid weather builds
- Hot and very humid weekend
One more round of showers and thunderstorms will fire this afternoon, some of which may be strong to severe. Thankfully, needed drier (and cooler) air will build in tonight and help set up a very pleasant mid week.
With all of the rain, hot weather fans haven’t been able to enjoy much in the way of significant summer heat this summer; however, things will change (briefly) this weekend. Very humid air will expand into the region over the weekend, including true summer heat as highs go into the lower 90s both Saturday and Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms may accompany the push of hot, humid air, Friday but we think the weekend will be dry at this point.
The hot, humid weather won’t last long as a cold front moves in Monday with widespread showers and thunderstorms. A much cooler air mass will return next week behind the frontal boundary.

July 12, 2015
Highlights:
- Another round of strong to severe storms rumble in tonight
- Significant severe weather outbreak Monday
- Storms and flood threat continue Tuesday
- Drying out and turning hot late week
A very active weather pattern will remain through the short-term. Overnight storms have exited to the southeast and we’re now dealing with dry weather and sunshine. A few storms could bubble up this afternoon in the very humid air mass, but the more widespread showers and thunderstorms will hold off until late tonight as another northwest to southeast moving complex rumbles in. Similar to early this morning, flash flooding will be a concern, along with the potential of damaging wind, and hail.
Perhaps more concerning is what we think will be a secondary thunderstorm complex Monday evening into Monday night. Furthermore, conditions appear to favor the threat of a couple super cells developing in advance of the big storm cluster. These individual super cells will have the potential of producing tornadoes and large hail. We’re then concerned of a widespread damaging wind threat with the large storm complex as it moves southeast. Torrential rains and flash flooding will also be a big concern.
Showers and thunderstorms will continue Tuesday, but there’s a light at the end of this wet tunnel by mid week. We forecast a few days of dry weather in the Wednesday through Saturday time period. As ridging expands, heat and humidity will build in a big time way. For those holding out for true summer heat, next weekend may be your time! That said, the long range pattern still supports a wetter/ cooler than normal regime quickly returning so enjoy!

Highlights:
- Wet start turns drier this afternoon
- More sunshine going into the weekend, but we still have storm chances
- Severe weather possible Sunday
- Scattered storms continue next week
Scattered showers remain on the radar this morning, but drier air will work in from the west this afternoon and we may even see some late day sunshine! While we can’t forecast dry weather this weekend, it won’t rain the entire time and periods of sunshine can also be expected. That said, we’ll have to be on the look out for a couple waves of showers and thunderstorms- particularly Friday and again Sunday afternoon/ evening. Those storms Sunday may reach strong to severe levels. As of now, the most isolated coverage of storms looks to come Saturday.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ -2″ (locally higher totals)

Highlights:
- Periods of showers and storms through mid week
- Can’t shake weekend storm chances, but drier, and turning hot
- Scattered storms return early next week
A frontal boundary will slip south of central IN later this evening and take most of the heavy rain and storms south tonight into a good chunk of Wednesday. However, the boundary will return north Wednesday evening in response to an area of surface low pressure moving northeast out of the lower and middle MS River Valley. This will return the focus of showers and heavier thunderstorms for our region Wednesday evening into the first half of Thursday. Similar to that of today, locally heavy rainfall is a good bet at times.
The area of low pressure will track east Thursday afternoon and take most of the moisture with it. We’ll forecast drier times to wrap up the work week along with rising temperatures. While we can’t shake weekend storm chances, Friday through Sunday will be drier, overall, when compared to the next couple days. With the heat and humidity around, a few strong to severe storms are possible- particularly Sunday afternoon. We’ll keep an eye on things.
Scattered, “splash and dash,” coverage of storms returns early next week.
