Highlights:
- Sun-filled days
- Turning hot
- Storm chances return by mid week
Refreshing Temperatures (For Now)…High pressure and a dry northeast flow will continue to support refreshing conditions across the region. Plentiful sunshine along with low humidity values will create ideal weather to spend time outdoors as we go into the long Labor Day weekend. Perhaps a bonfire is in order this evening?
Eventually, our air flow will back around to the southwest and this will allow a much warmer and increasingly humid air mass to return. Sunday will be noticeably hotter, but the true push of humidity will arrive Labor Day into Tuesday. It’ll, officially, feel “oppressive” by mid week. That increased moisture will also help ignite scattered storm chances Wednesday into Thursday.
Looking just beyond the (7) day period shows the potential of a cooler period building back in next weekend…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″-0.50″
2.) HRRR futurecast radar delivers thunderstorms into central IN around the lunchtime hour.
3.) Scattered thunderstorms remain Thursday (some strong to severe), but drier air will briefly push in across the northern half of the region Friday. We think from Indianapolis and points north, it’ll be a very pleasant end to the work week. That said, “briefly” is the key word. Moisture will surge north again Saturday and Sunday and isolated to scattered storms will follow suit.
4.) Attention next week will shift to the tropics. There are many more questions than answers at this point, but understand the potential is there for significant tropical troubles next week. Intensity and track are far from etched in stone, but if your travels take you to the Gulf Coast, we suggest you remain abreast of the latest developments- particularly the southeastern FL coast and the north-central Gulf Coast.
