Moderating Trend…

Screen Shot 2015-10-18 at 9.35.16 PMHighlights:

  • Breezy open to the work week
  • Moderating temperatures
  • Weekend rain chances

Two back-to-back freezes were felt across central IN over the weekend, including several reports of middle to upper 20s in neighborhoods away from the city.  As we open the work week, our air flow will shift to the SW and help boost temperatures with wind gusts up to 30 MPH Monday afternoon.  Dry conditions will prevail until Wednesday when an isolated shower/ sprinkle will be possible.

Better rain chances are expected this weekend as a cold front moves in.  Modeling suggests this boundary may be able to tap into just enough Gulf moisture to allow for more widespread rain coverage than what we’ve seen recently.  We’ll keep our fingers crossed.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.25″ – 0.50″

Frosty Weekend Coming…

Screen Shot 2015-10-13 at 9.46.36 PMHighlights:

  • Another glorious fall day
  • Scattered shower Thursday night
  • Much cooler air heading into the weekend

High pressure will provide another picture-perfect fall day Wednesday before a cold front approaches Thursday evening.  A band of scattered showers will accompany the frontal passage Thursday night, but we’re still not looking at any sort of rain of significance.

The big story wrapping up the work week and heading into the weekend?  MUCH cooler air and blustery conditions.  Jackets and sweaters will be needed this weekend.  Additionally, we still think our first frost and freeze of the season will arrive come Sunday morning.

Looking ahead, forecast models remain consistent on a more appreciable rain maker arriving just over a week from today.  Stay tuned.

One-Two Punch Of Cool Air…

Screen Shot 2015-10-12 at 7.20.09 PMHighlights:

  • Windy times
  • Cooler air arrives
  • Showers Thursday night
  • Chilly finish to the week

A cold front swept through the region Monday evening with a band of showers and embedded strong thunderstorms across the eastern portion of IN.  Rainfall amounts weren’t impressive, unfortunately.  High pressure is now building in and will result in a much cooler and continued dry time through mid week.

A secondary cold front will blow into town Thursday evening with scattered showers and MUCH cooler, breezy conditions to wrap up the work week.  A chilly weekend is in store with frost potential Sunday morning.

A Warm Wind Monday…

Screen Shot 2015-10-11 at 8.46.23 PMHighlights:

  • Windy and warm open to the work week
  • Cooler times coming
  • Stronger front to close the week
  • Weekend frost potential

We’ll welcome a new work week with blustery SW winds (gusting upwards of 30 MPH Monday afternoon) and warm conditions.  A cold front will move through central IN Monday evening and cooler air will follow.  We’ll turn much cooler for mid week, along with pleasant skies.

A secondary (stronger) front will sweep through the area Friday.  This frontal system may include a couple showers, but the strong and gusty winds and MUCH cooler air will be the bigger deal.  Dry skies, but well below normal temperatures are on tap this weekend.  Many communities will be dealing with their first frost and/ or freeze come Sunday morning.

Winds Of Change…

Screen Shot 2015-10-10 at 5.09.58 PMHighlights:

  • Mostly dry theme continues
  • Get used to the term “breezy!”
  • Much cooler air coming

We couldn’t have asked for better weather for a Saturday and, thankfully, we’ll experience a repeat tomorrow (tack on a few degrees for afternoon highs).  Breezy SW winds (gusts upwards of 30 MPH) will kick temperatures up to near 80 Monday afternoon before a cold front sweeps through the region Monday night.  While an isolated shower is possible Monday, most of central IN will remain rain-free.  Cooler air will arrive Tuesday and Wednesday.

A stronger cold front will move into the region Friday.  Like our early week front, this one, too, will be moisture-starved.  Windy conditions and MUCH cooler air will be the big deal going into next weekend.  Most communities will experience their first frost Saturday and/ or Sunday morning.
