Forecast Updated 03.07.14 @ 7:30a

Get Outside & Enjoy…We’re going to wrap up the work week with beautiful conditions.  If you can get out of work or school early today, IndyWx.com highly recommends it :-)!  High pressure will support sunny skies (after a little morning fog in spots) and milder temperatures.  Highs will zoom into the lower to middle 50s this afternoon!

Weak Weekend System…A weak cold front will slip south through the region Saturday.  Early morning sunshine will quickly give way to increasing clouds and developing light rain.  Rain will end as a period of light snow Saturday evening, but won’t accumulate.  The key word in all of this is light, with rainfall totals under a tenth of an inch.

Sunday will be a dry, chilly day with highs in the middle 40s.

True Spring Feel…The spring crave will be in full effect early next week as highs both Monday and Tuesday shoot into the lower 60s with sunshine.  We’ll notice a gusty westerly breeze Monday, assisting with the milder surge of air into the Ohio Valley.

Late Season Winter Storm Brewing?  Many questions remain around the ultimate track of the storm system by the middle of next week.  As of now, a blend of forecast model suggests a rain-to-snow scenario Wednesday, but it’s far too early to talk accumulations.  We’ll be able to fine tune some things over the weekend and have a better idea soon in regards to precipitation type and amount.  Regardless, a much colder air mass will pour into the region by the middle of next week.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 1-3″
  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″

Forecast Updated 03.05.14 @ 7:15a

Snow Weakens As It Pushes South…What will look like an impressive shield of snow across northern IL and IN this morning will weaken dramatically as it pushes south into central Indiana later this evening.  The primary reason?  A very dry air mass in place.  That said, we’ll continue to include scattered snow showers and light snow in our forecast, especially north of I-70 this evening.  Many won’t see any sort of accumulation, but a couple reports of a coating of snow will be possible north.  It’ll remain much colder than normal.

Moderating To Finish The Work Week…Dry conditions will return to wrap up the work week along with a warming trend.  By the time we reach Friday, we’ll actually be above normal!  Combine that with a sunny sky and we’re looking at an absolutely gorgeous close to the work week.  Plan to get out and enjoy!

Weak Weekend System…A cold front will move south through the region and be responsible for returning the area to a chillier regime over the weekend, along with a possible light snow Saturday.  Light is the key word and we’re not looking at any accumulation of significance.  Sunday returns the dry theme as we “jump ahead” an hour.

Spring Tease…Though we’re still locked in a predominately colder than normal weather pattern, that won’t stop us from enjoying a much deserved spring tease early next week.  Both Monday and Tuesday will feature highs in the middle to upper 50s with sunshine!  Definitely well deserved, indeed!

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast

  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Less than 1″
  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: Less than 0.10″

Forecast Updated 03.04.14 @ 8:22a

Sunny, But Cold…Another day of bright sunshine will help temperatures rebound to the freezing mark Tuesday afternoon.  While this is still well below normal and closer to the normal low for this date of 29 degrees, it’ll be a full 14 degrees “milder” than Monday’s high.  You know it’s been a cold winter when you’re saying the freezing mark is milder for a high in March.

Weak Weather Maker…A weak clipper system will move towards the region Wednesday evening into Thursday.  While this will be an accumulating snow producer for areas to our west, current thinking still moves this moisture towards our region, but with a dry air mass in place we think precipitation starts to fall apart as it moves in.  All of that said, light snow and scattered snow showers will fall for parts of the region Wednesday night into early Thursday.  We still think most don’t deal with much, if any, accumulation, but a light coating is possible in spots.  We’ll continue to monitor.

Eyeing Another Wintry Weekend…Modeling is still far from in agreement on the evolution of things on the weekend, but the general idea is one that brings a cold front through here Friday night into early Saturday morning with a wave of low pressure moving northeast out of the middle Mississippi River Valley into the eastern Ohio Valley Saturday.  With fresh cold air oozing south, combined with the associated track of the low, this is a potentially wintry set up for the region and we’re officially calling for a wintry mixture of light snow and/ or sleet across central Indiana Saturday.  The key word is light, but it could still be enough to create a few slick spots across the region.

Briefly Milder; Tracking The Next Significant Storm…The GFS and Canadian forecast models keep our region dry during the early to middle part of next week as a surface low tracks out of the Gulf and well south and east of our region.  On the other hand, the European forecast model winds a storm up much farther north and west and presents a heavy rain and possible thunderstorm threat here by Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  We still have time to watch this and think the European may be a little too aggressive at present, but stay tuned.

What we are confident on is a briefly milder push of air early next week that could send temperatures well into the 50s.  Don’t get used to it, however, as yet another polar plunge arrives by the mid week stretch.

Forecast Updated 03.03.14 @ 7:55a

Brrrrrr…It may be a new work week, but the overall weather theme will remain an all-too-familiar one- COLD!  A big, sprawling, area of high pressure will anchor itself over the region and result in temperatures well below where we would typically expect to be for early March.  Instead of a high in the upper 40s, we’ll struggle to reach the 20 degree mark today.  We’ll follow that up with yet another frigid night into Tuesday morning as lows sink to the single digits once more.  Outlying ‘burbs may approach zero tonight and we call that “ridiculously cold” for early March :-).

Midweek Moderation, But Still Below Normal…Temperatures will moderate by the middle of the week, though remain below normal.  We’re monitoring a weak weather system that will scoot north of the region Wednesday and this could move close enough to lead to an increase in cloudiness and a potential flurry or light snow shower Wednesday evening, but most should remain dry.

Keeping An Eye On The Weekend…We’ll continue to closely monitor next weekend.  While model data certainly has yet to reach a consensus, we look to have somewhat of an unsettled weekend- at least on the front end.  Stay tuned as we continue to fine tune things Friday evening into Saturday.
