Friday Morning Thoughts…

1.) First and foremost, our thoughts and prayers go out to our neighbors to our south this morning as a serious flood situation is underway.

Unfortunately, more rain is ahead today and will include our region across central Indiana.  Waves of rain and embedded thunder will continue into the evening.

2.) A much colder air mass will arrive this afternoon and evening along with a gusty northwest wind.  Wind chills will fall into the 20s by evening.  Eventually we’ll bottom out in the upper 20s Saturday morning.

3.) Easter weekend will feature beautiful weather across the area, thanks to high pressure.  Though it’ll be cold Saturday morning, lots of sunshine will warm us quickly.

4.) Wet and stormy times return next week, including multiple days of heavy rain potential and possibly strong to severe thunderstorms.  In short, a very active week is on deck.

Active Is An Understatement…

Screen Shot 2015-04-01 at 7.25.50 AMEnjoy Today; Very Busy Times Coming…Let’s get the easy and good stuff out of the way first- today will feature simply stunning weather conditions across the region.  Wall-to-wall sunshine and temperatures climbing into the middle 60s after a chilly start!  Enjoy!

A warm front will lift through the state late tonight and Thursday morning. This may help ignite scattered thunderstorms early Thursday morning.  We’ll then see a “lull” in the action before additional waves of thunderstorms rumble in during the afternoon and evening.  Some of these storms may reach severe limits with hail and damaging straight line winds of greatest concern.

A secondary area of low pressure will slowly traverse the Ohio Valley Friday and deliver widespread moderate to heavy rain.  As the low scoots to our east, it’ll help pull much colder air into the area.  Temperatures will fall through the day and rain will begin to mix with wet snow Friday night.  While we won’t deal with accumulation here, areas from northern Indiana over to northern Ohio may pick up a light slushy accumulation of snow.

We’ll clear things out just in time for Saturday, but it’ll be a cool and breezy day, especially early. Most of Easter Sunday will also feature sunny and pleasant conditions, but moisture will increase late and we’ll mention the chance of showers by evening.

Early next week is back to the active regime with multiple waves of showers and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday.  Heavy rainfall and embedded strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2.5″ – 3.5″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Wet, Stormy, And Warm…

Those are the words to sum up the mid to long range. While we’ll deal with a brief Easter weekend cool down, the overwhelming signals in the mid to long…

Beautiful Through Wednesday Then Turning Busy…

Screen Shot 2015-03-30 at 9.26.22 PMEnjoy The Dry Time…A fast moving weather maker will scoot by to our northeast Tuesday morning.  This will deliver rain and snow for our friends to our east.  We’ll enjoy being on the southwest side of the track of this system and as a result we can expect lots of sunshine and seasonably warm temperatures.  Wednesday will also feature lots of sunshine.

A new storm system will approach Thursday and deliver showers and thunderstorms into the picture.  Some of the rain may be heavy at times.  Additionally, we think another wave of low pressure will keep a rather steady rain in play Friday, as well.  Temperatures will fall through the day Friday.  As of now, it appears as if it’ll be a rather damp and raw close to the work week.

An early sprinkle or snow flurry is possible Saturday, but most of the day will be dry.  Easter Sunday will dawn dry, but moisture will increase during the latter portion of the day.  We’ll introduce showers into the picture Sunday afternoon.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.25″ – 1.50″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Active And Warmer…

Screen Shot 2015-03-29 at 8.24.13 AMEvening Rain…The day has started unseasonably cold and sunny, but changes are in the offing later this afternoon.  Breezy south winds will help temperatures moderate from the very cold morning readings. In fact, if we hang onto the sunshine long enough, south winds will combine with the extra sun to allow temperatures to rise close to 50 degrees.  As it is, we anticipate increasing afternoon clouds followed by showers arriving towards mid to late afternoon. These showers may even be accompanied by an embedded rumble of thunder. Rainfall amounts won’t be heavy and most can expect to accumulate between 0.10″ to less than 0.25″.

We’ll enjoy a nice stretch of sunshine and moderating temperatures Monday through Wednesday.  A clipper system should stay well north of our region Tuesday, but if your travels take you into northeastern portions of the state or to Ohio, expect a few showers.

The next storm system of note here will arrive Thursday. A cold front will deliver showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon.

Another area of low pressure will deal a chilly rain to Indiana to wrap up the work week, but the good news in that sunshine appears to be the rule as we head into the special Easter weekend.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.00″ – 1.50″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
