Scattered Storms Today; More Widespread Rain Saturday…

screen-shot-2016-09-14-at-7-41-26-amHighlights:

  • Scattered storms
  • More concentrated; heavier rain this weekend
  • Drier to open the work week

Scattered Storms Around…A weak frontal boundary will kick up a couple of scattered storms today.  While rainfall totals won’t be uniform (some may not even see any rain at all), a couple of heavier downpours are a good bet.  We’ll notice a drier and slightly cooler air mass overnight into Thursday.

The dry time won’t last long as a more significant storm system approaches this weekend. Most of the daytime Friday should be dry, but rain and storm chances will increase Friday night and Saturday continues to look wet with periods of showers and thunderstorms.  Morning showers will impact portions of the region Sunday before we dry things out Sunday PM.  Dry times continue to open the new work week.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 1.00″-1.50″

Tracking Two Fronts This Week…

It’s a quiet and cool start to the work week across central Indiana.  In fact, a couple upper 40s are showing up on the morning station plots.  It’s getting to be that time of the year…  (Feel free to click on the image to enlarge).

screen-shot-2016-09-12-at-7-35-53-amTemperatures are running slightly below average, locally, with cooler anomalies across the Northeast.

screen-shot-2016-09-12-at-7-37-20-amHigh pressure will remain entrenched over our region today and supply dry conditions and pleasant humidity levels.

gfs_mslp_pcpn_frzn_us_1Our next storm system will push in Wednesday and as the cold front sags south through the state, it will spark scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm.

gfs_mslp_pcpn_frzn_us_10Reinforcing cool air will move in behind the front for a couple days.  Lows in the lower-middle 50s with highs in the upper 70s.

3As we flip the page to the weekend, it still looks rather damp Saturday as another boundary moves in.  This will have more moisture to work with when compared to Wednesday and rain coverage will be more widespread.  As a whole, (7) day rainfall totals should be in the 0.50″-1.00″ range for most.

Gorgeous Open To The Week…

screen-shot-2016-09-11-at-10-24-00-amHighlights:

  • Sun-filled days
  • Crisp air
  • Midweek showers
  • Saturday rain

Fall Feel…Sprawling high pressure will supply a dry open to the week, complete with plentiful sunshine and dry air.  Conditions will be beautiful to spend time outdoors- very much like early fall.

Our next weather maker will scoot through the region Wednesday with scattered showers. Once  the front blows through, reinforcing cool air will press into the state Wednesday evening.  A few reports of upper 40s will be likely away from the city Thursday and Friday morning.

While timing is still a bit up in the air at this distance, Saturday is looking unsettled as another cold front blows through.  (Get the idea we’re in an active period)?

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″

Drier, Cooler Air On Our Doorstep…

screen-shot-2016-09-10-at-9-20-41-amHighlights:

  • Greatest storm coverage and intensity this morning
  • Turning much drier and cooler
  • Reinforcing mid week cool air

Turning Much Drier This Evening…It’s been a wet and stormy time of things as of late.  Locally heavy rain will continue to accompany stronger storms this morning, but we note greatest storm coverage should begin to shift ENE as the morning progresses into afternoon.  Renewed showers will likely develop this afternoon as the cold front moves through the state.  We’ll then enjoy a marked NW wind shift this evening and that will help push much drier and cooler air in to help create a true fall feel tonight.  The second half of the weekend look beautiful- sunny and crisp!

Much needed dry time will be with us for the balance of the upcoming work week.  We note a reinforcing push of cool air mid week that could spark a shower, but rainfall amounts don’t look impressive (the air will be much drier than the “soupy” feel we’ve been dealing with for the past week).  A more significant rain-maker should arrive next weekend…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 1″-2″
