Category: Autumn
Highlights:
- Dry times continue
- Front comes through mostly dry
- Weekend cooling
High pressure will remain in control into the latter portion of the work week before giving way to an approaching cold front late Friday. Dry conditions will continue before we introduce showers into the picture late Friday night into early Saturday. Unfortunately this doesn’t appear to be a significant rain maker, but we’ll take what we can get. The bigger story will be the push of much cooler air that arrives Saturday evening into Sunday.

Highlights:
- Lots of sunshine
- Rain chances begin to increase late Friday
- Front sweeps the area Saturday with cooler air
We couldn’t have asked for a more glorious beginning to the work week, weather-wise. We hope you had an opportunity to spend some of your Monday outdoors! Thankfully, beautiful weather will prevail into the latter portion of the work week before clouds increase along with shower chances late Friday. This is in association with our next cold front that will move through here Saturday. We’re not looking at signifiant rain with this frontal passage, but another push of cool air will follow Saturday evening into early next week.

September is still running much warmer than normal, despite the recent well below average regime. See the temperature anomalies over the past (7) days: and the month-to-date: …

Highlights:
- Chilly start
- Sunshine galore
- Moderating temperatures
October-like weather will remain in place today, complete with wall-to-wall sunshine. We suggest finding a way to get outside to watch the Colts kick off the season! Dry conditions will remain with us for the balance of the work week before we introduce shower and thunderstorm chances into the forecast heading into next weekend. Timing differences are there in regards to the arrival of our next cold front, but for now we’ll mention scattered showers and thunderstorms Friday and Saturday.

True Autumn Feel This Weekend: A MUCH cooler air mass is oozing southeast this morning behind a cold front- the first true autumn cold front of the season…

Highlights:
- Dry day before showers arrive tonight
- MUCH cooler weekend with showers around
- Dry and pleasant early-mid next week
The first of two cold fronts pushed through the region last night and helped usher in late day clearing that set up a beautiful sunset across central IN. The heat of September’s open is long gone and in it’s wake we can expect gorgeous weather today, with some sunshine before clouds increase later today.
A secondary cold front will sweep in to close the work week and this front will be responsible for delivering gusty showers Friday, followed by an airmass that’s more October-like than September over the weekend. It’ll be a perfect weekend for football, chili, bonfires, and all things pumpkin! 🙂
Dry conditions return next week with moderating temperatures.

@Cryptics caught an amazing sunset last night, after what was a rather rainy, gloomy day.

Highlights:
- Shower and storm chances
- One-two punch of cooler air
- Very fall-like weekend
A cold front is draped across the Plains this evening helping to ignite thunderstorms. This front will slowly continue to push east and be responsible for increased chances of showers and thunderstorms across our neck of the woods late Tuesday into Wednesday. We think a rather large area of showers and thunderstorms will diminish in intensity and coverage as it pushes across the state Tuesday night. For an area that’s grown dry as of late, that’s not the news we want to hear. There will be another opportunity for showers and thunderstorms to develop ahead of the frontal boundary that passes late Wednesday.
Drier and cooler weather will build in to close the work week, but a secondary push of cool, autumn-like air will arrive in time for the weekend. Add in some upper level energy and we’ll need to mention a passing shower Saturday and Sunday. It’ll feel drastically different this weekend that what we experienced last weekend. Pumpkin spice latte, anyone? 🙂

Highlights:
- Storm potential north
- Hot Labor Day weekend
- Cold front delivers storms and cooler air next week
We’re off to another steamy one this morning with many neighborhoods already between 65-70 as we type this predawn Friday. We’ll zoom up yet again to around 90 this afternoon with only isolated storm coverage. Better chances of rain and storms can be expected across northeastern portions of the state due to a little “weakness” in the atmosphere.
The story for the long holiday weekend is one of heat and humidity, with little, if any, storm threat (very isolated coverage). Highs Saturday though Monday should reach around 90.
However, changes are coming down the road as a significant cold front sweeps the region Wednesday into Thursday. Showers and thunderstorms will accompany the frontal passage followed by a MUCH cooler, fall-like, air mass arriving by the end of next week.

Summer sure doesn’t appear to be letting go anytime soon as our recent 7-day outlook suggests, but there are indications that our unseasonably hot and humid regime may take a back seat to the refreshing taste of fall in about 10 days. The big “tip of the cap” towards the cooler pattern? The PNA, or Pacific North American pattern, shifting from negative to positive. As shown below, both the European (top) and GFS (bottom) highlight the PNA shift to positive.
A positive PNA favors eastern troughiness and an associated cooler than normal regime over our neck of the woods.
Sure enough, models are trending towards a much cooler direction for week 2.
It’ll be fun to watch things unfold. For now, if you’re a fan of summer weather, be sure to enjoy the next week, or so, as things appear to be changing for the much cooler side of things around the 10th (give or take a day or two).
