Beneficial Steady Rains Coming Overnight…

I’m just getting settled back in from Auburn, AL, but wanted to update a couple of items before a complete 7-day post in the morning.

1.) Rain is continuing to become more widespread to our southwest and will overspread southern and central Indiana during the overnight into the wee morning hours Tuesday.  Most communities will accumulate 0.50″-1.00″ of needed rain, but a few locally heavier totals (closer to 2″) can be expected.  The HRRR forecast rainfall totals by 11am (when most of the rain will be ending across even our eastern counties) looks solid and we agree with this for the most part.  Note the heavier forecast totals across southwestern Indiana.

2.)  A cold front will sweep the state Friday night into Saturday morning and result in a MUCH cooler weekend.  Temperatures will fall to well below normal levels (by 5-8 degrees on average) over the weekend and result in a perfect, early fall-like, feel!  Highs Saturday through Monday will likely only range in the lower to middle 70s with overnight lows in the lower 50s (a few readings into the 40s can be expected outside the city).

IndyWx.com; IndySportsReport.com Announce Long-Term Partnership

ISRlogo2-280x121Whitestown, IN- Just in time for the 2014-2015 football season, we’re excited to announce a new partnership with IndySportsReport.com.  IndyWx.com will be the sole provider of weather forecasts for Colts games this fall, including that all-important detailed tailgate forecast.  Additionally, IndyWx.com will provide a state-wide weather break down for the many high school football games all autumn long.

The Indiana Sports Report was started in 2013 as an alternative to pay walls and ‘babes of the day.’ If you want a no-nonsense, no frills approach to your sports coverage, then you’ve come to the right place. The Indiana Sports Report has the entire state of Indiana sports covered from high school to the pros, from Evansville to South Bend. The reporters of the Indiana Sports Report bring you insight from the courts and fields and locker rooms. ISR provides you with up-to-the-minute analysis and unfiltered opinions.

The Indiana Sports Report is an accredited member of the media. This is how ISR differs from other blogs and so-called news sites. ISR is viewed as a credible news source for Central Indiana. ISR is fully credentialed with:

  • Indianapolis Colts
  • Indiana Pacers
  • Indiana Fever
  • Indianapolis Indians
  • Indy Eleven
  • Indiana Ice
  • Indianapolis Motor Speedway
  • Lucas Oil Raceway Park
  • Purdue University Athletics
  • Indiana University Athletics
  • Ball State University Athletics
  • Indiana State University Athletics
  • Butler University Athletics

ISR enjoys covering all sports from a new perspective. All of their reporters are new to the business and have a general “thirst’ for digging in.

Mr. Jessen has some exciting plans for IndySportsReport.com moving forward.  In addition to the mainstay items that you can find on the site, the team has planned expanded state-wide coverage.  “This fall, we have expanded into covering high school football as well as basketball. It brings a whole new look to our site than before. And with our growing college coverage of Purdue, IU, ISU, Ball State and into IUPUI, we want to cover all sports properly; not just the ones that bring the most viewers.”

Like Bill, Mr. Jessen is a fan of the colder months.  “I am a fall and winter kinda guy. I love watching patterns change and things develop honestly. God has made our world so perfect with how the seasons change and react that it is awesome to sit back and watch His glory and handiwork.”

We are thrilled to be a partner with the Indiana Sports Report and look forward to providing a behind the scenes forecast you learn to count on all autumn long!

JAMSTEC Take On Upcoming Fall/ Winter

With each passing day our thoughts turn more and more towards the upcoming busy fall and winter months ahead.   Among the vast array of data to sort through, we wanted to show you the latest JAMSTEC (Japan Agency For Marine-Earth-Science And Technology) take on the upcoming fall and winter.  Admittedly, we’re still a ways off from being able to tell you with any sort of certainty what the upcoming winter holds in store, as far as the “concrete details” go.  That said, thinking, at least here, remains on the side of the camp that believes another colder/ snowier than normal winter lies ahead for our region.

As far as the fall goes, we’re likely to see a predominant southeast ridge dominate the pattern, with more of a “back and forth” fight across our immediate neck of the woods.  In some ways, we’re beginning to see this type reflection in the pattern this week.

In any event, the latest JAMSTEC fall (Sept-Nov) idea as far as temperature anomalies go:

temp2.glob.SON2014.1aug2014

Note the southeast ridge should keep the south-central and south-east (on up along the eastern seaboard) a touch warmer than average.  The center of the cool will back west for a time to include the Rockies, N Plains, and northern Lakes.  Again, more of a back and forth fight here, and quite active!

Before we close, as stated above, we think another cold, snowy winter lies ahead for our area.  The JAMSTEC remains bullish on another cold winter (Dec-Feb) for the 3rd month in a row:

A big upper low is located across the eastern Great Lakes.  The circulation around this UL feature will result in an unseasonably cool, fall-like, feel across our neck of the woods the next couple days.  On that note, the entire forecast period will remain cooler than normal.  Sky conditions both today and Tuesday will vary depending on your location.  Overall, expect more cloudiness across central and eastern parts of the state compared to the west.  Additionally, scattered light showers will be possible this afternoon- more likely east.  We’ll repeat this forecast Tuesday, though coverage of showers will be a bit more widespread (still not a huge deal).

The overall theme through this forecast period will be a cooler than average one and a bit unsettled.  We’ll remain in a northwest flow regime and weak disturbances will move through the area from time to time, creating a slightly better shower chance each time they rotate through the area.  Looking at the temperature forecast the upcoming week sure will have many scratching their head whether or not we’re heading into August or September?!  The cool summer of 2014 rolls along…
