Forecast Period: 09.15.19 through 09.21.19

7-Day Precipitation: Precipitation is expected to run below normal through the forecast period.

7-Day Temperatures: The upcoming forecast period above will feature well above average temperatures.

Severe Outlook: Widespread and organized severe weather isn’t expected through the forecast period.

Summary: A couple of storm complexes will “flirt” with central Indiana as we open up the new week, but these should be in a weakening state (if not flat-out diminish entirely) as they grow closer to our immediate region. Other than that, dry and warm/ hot weather is expected until late week. Things look increasingly unsettled with better coverage of showers and thunderstorms during this time. We’re still only looking at scattered coverage with any one particular rain gauge expected to accumulate less than half an inch by late next weekend.

*Next week’s AG/ Severe Weather Update will incorporate frost/ freeze outlooks, as well as drought discussion(s) across the Lower 48.

Forecast period: 09.08.19 through 09.15.19

7-Day Precipitation: Precipitation is expected to run below normal through the forecast period.

7-Day Temperature Outlook: Temperatures will run well above average through the forecast period above.

Severe Weather Outlook: Organized severe weather isn’t expected during the period.

Summary: After an unseasonably cool open to meteorological fall, summer-like heat will fight back over the upcoming week. Several days of highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s are expected with unseasonably warm overnight lows around 70° by the middle part of the week and beyond. From a precipitation perspective, best chances of more organized shower and thunderstorm activity will arrive by the 2nd half of the work week, but coverage will remain scattered. As a whole, we’re expecting the upcoming forecast period to only result in 0.25” to 0.75” of precipitation.

Forecast period: 09.02.19 through 09.09.19

7-Day Precipitation: Precipitation is expected to run well below normal through the forecast period.

7-Day Temperatures: Temperatures are expected to run below average through the forecast period overall.

Severe Weather Outlook: In what will be a quiet period, overall, we’ll keep an eye to our north Tuesday evening. The reason? A cold front will push south and a line of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to develop across northern Indiana tomorrow evening. Damaging wind is the greatest concern with storms across northern parts of the state. As the front continues to settle south, thunderstorms will weaken as they push into central Indiana between 8p and midnight. Otherwise, severe weather isn’t expected through the period.

Summary: The upcoming 7-days will be dominated by an overall cooler and drier than normal theme than we’d come to normally expect for early September. A couple of cold fronts will sweep through the state this week: Tuesday night and again Saturday. While there isn’t a lot of fanfare expected with these fronts from a precipitation perspective, they will serve to offer up a true fall-like feel mid week into the weekend. We’ll keep an eye on thunderstorms across northern IN Tuesday PM, but still expect these to be in a weakening state as they arrive into central parts of the state tomorrow night.
