Scattered Storms; Turning Much Cooler…
Highlights:
- AM fog burns off today
- Scattered storms
- Much cooler air coming
Afternoon And Evening Thunder…Morning fog (some dense) will eventually burn off and give way to a muggy day. As afternoon heating takes place, scattered evening thunderstorms are a good bet, especially north of Indianapolis. We’ll repeat this to wrap up the work week Friday.
A cold front will take aim at the region Saturday evening and scattered showers and thunderstorms will accompany this boundary as it moves through. A few storms could reach strong to severe levels Saturday PM as the front moves through.
Winds will shift to the NW and usher in a much cooler and drier brand of air for the second half of the weekend, continuing into the early portion of next week. Many will likely be craving fall by early next week coming off multiple mornings with lows in the 50s.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″
Early Fall Feel Coming…
Highlights:
- Scattered Showers
- Saturday storm chance
- Early fall feel on deck
Drier Overall…It’s been a wet few days across the region. While we’ll begin to transition towards a drier regime to wrap up the work week, scattered showers and storms will remain in the forecast today and Thursday. Best concentration of storms will be located across north-central IN this evening. Rain/ storm coverage will be even less on Thursday.
Our next item of interest will arrive on the scene in the form of a cold front Saturday. Showers and a couple gusty thunderstorms are a good bet Saturday afternoon/ evening as the cold front sweeps through the state. Our winds will then shift to the northwest and help usher in a much cooler, drier time of things for the second half of the weekend. Stepping outside Sunday morning will provide a definite hint of fall, complete with a breezy NW wind.
Early next week will continue to feature dry and unseasonably cool times before we turn our attention to what could potentially be a heavy rain maker setting up just past the 7-day period…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-0.75″
Heavy Rain Continues; Early Fall Preview Late Next Weekend…
Highlights:
- Periods of heavy rain
- Drying out come mid week
- Cold front arrives next weekend
Flooding Concerns…Renewed heavy rain is pushing through central IN as we write up the morning forecast package. This conveyor belt of moisture will continue to lift northeast and eventually break up and diminish during the late morning and early afternoon. Despite scattered showers this afternoon, drier times will ensue, overall. Unfortunately, this drier period won’t last long as another slug of moisture lifts north late tonight and continues Monday. Additional heavy rainfall can be expected, including the potential of rainfall rates approaching 2″+/ hour. Given the water-logged soils across the region, concerns of flash flooding are very high Monday.
Eventually, we’ll dry things out come mid week and introduce more sunshine back into the forecast. Our next item on the agenda will be a cold front that will sweep through the state Saturday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will accompany the boundary as it moves through the region before much drier and cooler air blows in for the second half of the weekend. In fact, a welcomed early fall preview awaits come Sunday. Thoughts of football, pumpkin “everything,” bonfires, and apple cider will be prevalent this time next week…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 2″-4″ (locally heavier totals)
