Nice Today; Wet, Chilly Thursday On Deck…

Wed.	Thr.	Fri.	Sat.	Sun.	Mon.	Tue.

44/ 66	47/ 55	51/ 55	42/ 58	48/ 62	61/ 70	49/ 64

Much Needed Sunshine…After several days of wet, gloomy weather, sunshine will be a welcome sight to see! Today is easily the pick of the week with dry skies and mild temperatures. Enjoy!

Wet; Chilly End To The Work Week…A cold front will sink south into the area Thursday and rain will move into the state as early as the predawn hours Thursday morning. Temperatures will actually fall Thursday afternoon and evening. While there’s some “model mayhem” in regards to what takes place Friday, we’re currently leaning more towards the GFS/ NAM wet solution with a secondary wave of low pressure moving along the frontal boundary. Stay tuned.

Not A Bad Weekend…We’ll have to dodge a couple rain drops over the weekend (particularly Sunday), but it won’t be a wash-out by any means. A chilly Saturday will slowly moderate Sunday.

Heavy Rain Event…Forecast models continue to key in on a heavy rain event impacting these parts Monday night into Tuesday of next week. More details to come, but plan on the possibility of excessive rains across a large chunk of the Mid West and Ohio Valley at this early juncture.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2.50″ – 3.00″
7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Hopefully you were up early enough this morning to enjoy the lunar eclipse! The first image is from the Brownsburg area and taken from Ronna Jessen. Thank you, Ronna! I also added an image taken off our back deck at 6:30 this morning.

Unsettled And Cool…

Mon.	Tue.	Wed.	Thr.	Fri.	Sat.	Sun.

47/ 60	46/ 63	44/ 66	46/ 59	49/ 59	40/ 60	41/ 60

Cool And Gray Open To The Work Week…A couple disturbances will cross through the region between today and Tuesday. This will help lead to considerable cloudiness and off and on showers through the next 24-36 hours. We’re not talking about heavy rainfall, but pesky showers, mostly cloudy skies, and unseasonably cool conditions will be in place.

Mid Week Sunshine Ahead Of The Next Front…High pressure will briefly build into the region Wednesday helping supply a brighter and slightly milder regime. Enjoy whatever sunshine we do see Wednesday as clouds and rain will quickly return as we wrap up the work week (some indications are we could be looking at heavier rain late week, so stay tuned).

Another Cool Weekend…Another cool air mass will build into central Indiana for the weekend. While timing issues abound, we currently forecast dry skies Saturday with showers around Sunday.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.00″
7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Periods Of Storms; BIG Push Of Chilly Air On The Way…

Thr.	Fri.	Sat.	Sun.	Mon.	Tue.	Wed.

61/ 83	46/ 70	43/ 49	40/ 57	44/ 64	49/ 64	48/ 70

Changes…BIG weather changes begin today as a warm front lifts through the region. This will lead to a warm and windy afternoon with showers and a possible rumble of thunder arriving as early as the morning rush. Periods of showers and thunderstorms will continue this afternoon and evening, but we also want to note there will be plenty of dry time in between rain drops. A bigger push of showers and thunderstorms will blow into town tonight into the wee morning hours Friday. A couple of these storms may reach severe levels, especially for western communities. Damaging straight line winds are the biggest concern.

Showers and thunderstorms continue Friday, but the bigger weather story will become our temperatures as a MUCH colder air mass rushes into the area Friday evening on a gusty northwest wind. Falling temperatures can be expected through the afternoon Friday so you’ll want to be sure to pack the jacket and cold weather gear tomorrow.

Chilly Weekend…Well below normal temperatures can be expected this weekend along with unsettled conditions. Saturday continues to look like a mostly cloudy and blustery day with periods of drizzle and/ or sprinkles. Sunday will feature more in the way of sunshine, but caution we may also deal with widely scattered light showers.

Timing Issues…We’ll fine tune early next week once our first storm system moves through the region. As of now, we target Tuesday as the best day of showers, but timing issues abound. More on this later.
