Great Weekend Weather…

Screen Shot 2016-07-09 at 9.05.16 AMHighlights:

  • Dry and pleasant weekend
  • Moisture and storms return next week
  • Another push of cool air next weekend?

Sunglasses Required…What a great feel we’re greeted with out there this morning!  Low humidity and pleasant temperatures will be with us through the weekend, along with lots of sunshine.  Sunday morning will feature many neighborhoods in the middle to upper 50s across central IN.  Mid-July, what?! 🙂

Moisture will slowly return as we back our air flow around to the SW early next week.  Additionally, we’re tracking multiple disturbances mid week that will promote increased chances of thunderstorms.

An early look at late week shows potentially another push of dry and cool air to set-up a beautiful close to the work week.  We’re getting spoiled.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.75″-1.50″ (locally heavier totals)

Friday Morning Rambles…

1.) We’ve got another warm, humid day dialed up and as a cold front moves in this afternoon, scattered strong to severe storms are possible.  We think east-central Indiana stands the greatest threat at experiencing a severe storm later this evening.

12.) The aforementioned cold front will sweep through the state tonight and allow a much drier and cooler air mass to push in for the weekend.  We’ll enjoy a downright pleasant feel this weekend, including lots of sunshine.  Enjoy!

33.) Dry weather should continue into early next week, but wet and stormy weather will return as early as Tuesday, continuing into the latter portions of the week.

Periods Of Storms Before A Pleasant Weekend…

Screen Shot 2016-07-05 at 7.09.57 AMHighlights:

  • Muggy times return
  • Multiple storm chances mid/ late week
  • Strong-severe storm potential
  • Drier weekend

Air You Can Wear…A quick step out of the door this morning will quickly remind you that we’re in the heart of summer.  A tropical feel will remain through the middle and latter portions of the work week.  While an isolated shower is possible this afternoon, we should remain mostly dry across the state.

Better chances of showers and thunderstorms will return Wednesday, and we target the chances of two round of storms- morning and night.  Some of these storms could be strong to severe, including damaging straight line winds.  Don’t be surprised if updated Storm Prediction Center outlooks place a Slight Risk into portions of the state Wednesday.

Additional storm chances will be present Thursday and Friday before a drier air mass arrives in time for the weekend.  With the drier air will also come cooler nights- lower 60s Saturday morning and upper 50s Sunday morning.  After the warm, humid time of things the next few days, the drier air mass will feel quite refreshing.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

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

Unseasonably Cool; Heavy Rains…

Screen Shot 2016-07-03 at 10.14.18 AMHighlights:

  • Heavy rain
  • Unseasonably cool
  • Turning warmer
  • Active, stormy time later in the week

Jacket And Rain Gear Needed…The first of two rounds of widespread, soaking rains is pushing across central IN this morning.  Periods of moderate to heavy rains will develop later tonight as round two arrives on the scene.  Localized flooding is likely tonight and Monday morning.  The overall set-up is one that features a stationary front draped across the region with ripples of energy (low pressure) moving along the boundary.  In addition to the wet weather, this will also set up quite the temperature gradient across the state today.  Here across central IN, jackets will be needed all day with highs struggling to climb much out of the middle 60s.  Downstate, temperatures will zoom into the 80s with a severe component added into the mix tonight for southern IN (with the focus primarily being straight line winds).

Showers and thunderstorms will continue Independence Day, but we’re still hopeful in thinking we begin to dry things out for the afternoon and evening.  That’s great news for the fireworks and festivities planned tomorrow evening.

We begin to heat things back up and add storms into the mix for mid and late week as the region gets into an active NW flow regime.  The potential is there for a couple of rather noisy storm complexes later this week.  We’ll keep a close eye on things.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 3.5″-4.5″ (locally heavier amounts)
