Tracking Two Cold Fronts…

Screen Shot 2015-08-18 at 10.09.30 PMHighlights:

  • Strong to severe storm potential Wednesday
  • Much cooler to end the week
  • Second cold front delivers storms Sunday and cooler air

Tuesday featured mostly dry conditions across the majority of central IN, but the same likely won’t be said for Wednesday.  A cold front will swing through the region Wednesday night and in advance of the front scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, especially Wednesday afternoon/ evening.  Damaging wind is the biggest severe threat.  The reasoning behind the turbulent Wednesday weather?  A strong cold front that will sweep through the area and deliver much drier and cooler air to finish the work week.

While the weekend will get off to a quiet open, another cold front will deliver scattered thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon and evening.  Behind the front we can expect much cooler, fall-like air to open the new work week.

Early Fall Preview…

Screen Shot 2015-08-11 at 10.47.16 PMHighlights:

  • AM fog gives way to lots of sunshine
  • Early fall preview
  • Warmer days return
  • Spotty weekend storms possible

We still have warm to hot days left before we get into true fall air, but the next couple days will have many craving the autumnal season ahead.  It’s not every year we can say mid August will feature lows in the mid to upper 50s and highs in the 70s, but that’s the case for Wednesday.  Despite some patchy dense fog in spots, look for wall-to-wall sunshine today, continuing right through the end of the work week.  Have an extra vacation day or two to use at work?  Might we suggest burning them over the next 48-72 hours? 😉

Warmth and humidity will return heading into the weekend and on into early next week.  Additionally, we’ll have to keep a close eye on weak upper level disturbances moving into the region.  They may provide just enough “umph” to spark isolated storms over the weekend.  Better coverage of thunderstorms can be expected early next week.
