Warm Today; Cold Changes Await…

screen-shot-2016-11-17-at-8-48-32-amHighlights:

  • Breezy and warm close to the work week
  • T-storms Friday evening
  • Cold weekend with Saturday flurries

Changeable Weather…If you don’t find a way to get outside today something is wrong.  Let the boss know IndyWx.com gave you permission to spend an extended lunch outdoors today. 🙂  Sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures will be with us through the day, along with an increasingly gusty afternoon wind.

Clouds increase Friday and showers develop Friday evening.  A couple of stronger thunderstorms are also possible as the front sweeps through the state.  While we’re not forecasting a widespread severe wind potential, one or two strong and gusty storms are possible.  The front will hit like a wall Friday night and feature an abrupt wind shift and plummeting temperatures.  That high Saturday in the lower 40s will be predawn as most of the day will be spent in the 30s with gusty winds and snow flurries.  Steadier snow squalls will be found across north and northeast IN.

Dry, chilly weather will be with us for the remainder of the weekend, continuing into the beginning of the Thanksgiving week ahead.  Our next storm system is slated for the big travel day Wednesday.  Expect showers and gusty winds followed by colder weather for Thanksgiving, itself.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: Trace
  • Rainfall: 0.50″ – 0.75″

Big Changes Loom…

screen-shot-2016-11-15-at-7-47-52-amHighlights:

  • Mostly sunny and pleasant into mid week
  • Gusty SW winds usher in near-record warmth to close the work week
  • Friday night showers and storms
  • Coldest air and first flakes of the season ahead

Brace For Changes…The short-term remains very quiet and pleasant.  If you haven’t already, we suggest knocking out that remaining yard work for the season, or get a jump on the outdoor Christmas lights!  (Rude changes loom).

Winds will turn gusty out of the southwest Thursday, especially by afternoon.  These strong and gusty SW winds will top 40 MPH Thursday into Friday, but also serve to help give temperatures a boost.  Highs both Thursday and Friday will be near record levels.

We should remain dry through the daytime Friday, but a band of showers and embedded thunder will rumble through the state Friday night as a strong cold front passes through.  Behind the cold front, expect an abrupt wind shift to the northwest and falling temperatures through the day Saturday.  Heavier jackets and coats will be required as wind chills in the 20s fall into the teens Saturday night into Sunday morning.  Left-over, “backlash” moisture will fall in the form of flurries and scattered light snow showers.  Further north, light accumulations of snow are possible across northern IN snowbelt communities.

Cold, dry weather will continue into early next week.  Looking further ahead, another storm system looms around Thanksgiving.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.25″-0.50″

Frosty Mornings; Late Week Storm System…

screen-shot-2016-11-13-at-10-19-07-amHighlights:

  • Dry stretch of weather remains
  • Late week storm system offers up rain; t-storm chances
  • Much colder next weekend

Frosty Mornings To Start The Week…High pressure will dominate our weather pattern to open the new week.  As such, skies will remain mostly sunny and temperatures will be very pleasant.  Monday morning will feature the third morning in a row with sub-freezing air.  Expect another frosty start to the day, including outlying neighborhoods into the 20s yet again.

Looking ahead, our weather will remain rather uneventful until Thursday.  Dry conditions will remain, but southwest winds will become increasingly gusty by the afternoon.  This is in advance of an approaching storm system that will deliver showers, and perhaps a clap of thunder, Friday evening.  Timing will have to be fine tuned as we progress through the week.  Behind the boundary, much colder air will pour into the region on gusty northwest winds next weekend.  In fact, the air will grow cold enough to potentially lead to scattered snow showers Saturday night into Sunday in the left over “back lash” moisture.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.25″ – 0.50″

Chilly Weekend Ahead…

screen-shot-2016-11-11-at-6-58-12-amHighlights:

  • Dry and chilly weekend
  • First freeze of the season
  • Dry skies remain next week

Cold Air Blows In This Evening…We’ll wrap up the work week with plentiful sunshine, but reinforcing cold air will blow into town this evening.  After a high in the middle 50s, temperatures will begin to fall rather quickly by late afternoon into the early evening. Temperatures will grow cold enough to allow the first freeze of the season to greet many Hoosiers Saturday and Sunday mornings (many neighborhoods away from the city will drop into the middle/ upper 20s).

Dry skies will remain next week, but by the middle parts of next week, all eyes will be on our next fall storm system.  It’s still early, but the next best chances of rain appear to be slated for a late week arrival next week.  Colder air will follow.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

Snowfall: 0.00″

Rainfall: 0.00″

Weekend Freeze…

screen-shot-2016-11-09-at-7-06-07-pmHighlights:

  • Reinforcing chilly air blows in
  • Weekend freeze
  • Mainly dry

Dry; Reinforcing Chilly Air…We’ll wrap up the work week on a dry note, but a breezy one as reinforcing chilly air blows into town.

First thing’s first and that’s Thursday.  Frosty conditions will greet many out the door tomorrow morning before an increasingly breezy afternoon and evening.  This is ahead of a front that will sweep through here Friday and result in the coldest air of the fall season so far over the weekend.  In addition to our first freeze (many neighborhoods away from the city will fall into the 20s this weekend), highs Saturday likely won’t make it out of the 40s for most.

Despite an isolated shower chance Monday, it’s a dry 7-day, along with fairly seasonable conditions when you total everything up.  The potential is there for more active times just beyond the forecast period…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: Trace – 0.05″
