Category: Fog
Highlights:
- Dense fog this morning
- Turning much colder this week
- Scattered snow showers late week
Low Beams On…Dense fog engulfs most of central IN this morning. Make sure you have the low beams on this morning as you head off to work and school and allow extra time. A shower is possible at any point today, but particularly across the eastern half of the state.
Our next storm system will push through mid week. Southwest winds will increase Wednesday and scattered showers will accompany a cold front moving through the state. Temperatures will fall Wednesday night into Thursday and scattered snow showers will develop.
The theme late in the week and for the weekend will be a wintry one. Upper level energy will interact with the colder conditions and result in scattered snow showers from time to time into the weekend. The active northwest flow will remain into next week, as well, and we’ll have to keep a close eye for the prospects of a more “robust” clipper impacting the region just beyond this forecast period.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: Dusting – 1″
- Rainfall: 0.10″ – 0.25″

Morning Fog Gives Way To Weekend Sunshine…There’s really no reason to waste a lot of pixels in this morning’s 7-day. High pressure will supply an extended stretch of dry weather, complete with plentiful sunshine. Morning fog and drizzle will give way to PM sunshine today. Though cooler than we’ve been, with the exception of seasonable temperatures today, every day through the rest of the forecast period will be above normal.
We’re still eyeing a mid-month pattern transition that should set up a much more active and wintry regime Thanksgiving to Christmas. Speaking of that, our complete winter outlook was released last weekend. If you haven’t had an opportunity to see it, click here.

Highlights:
- AM fog burns off today
- Scattered storms
- Much cooler air coming
Afternoon And Evening Thunder…Morning fog (some dense) will eventually burn off and give way to a muggy day. As afternoon heating takes place, scattered evening thunderstorms are a good bet, especially north of Indianapolis. We’ll repeat this to wrap up the work week Friday.
A cold front will take aim at the region Saturday evening and scattered showers and thunderstorms will accompany this boundary as it moves through. A few storms could reach strong to severe levels Saturday PM as the front moves through.
Winds will shift to the NW and usher in a much cooler and drier brand of air for the second half of the weekend, continuing into the early portion of next week. Many will likely be craving fall by early next week coming off multiple mornings with lows in the 50s.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″

Severe potential is there tonight, but how does convection to our west during the day impact the situation downstream (locally) for tonight? We’re monitoring closely, but for the purpose of…

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