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.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″
@Cryptics caught an amazing sunset last night, after what was a rather rainy, gloomy day.

As mentioned below, bust potential was/ is high with today’s forecast. The further north trends in the NAM and GFS will ultimately trump the normally reliable Canadian and European solutions. As such, slushy snowfall accumulations will be light (1″-2″) for the city, itself, increasing to between 2″-5″ for northern Indianapolis suburbs (Zionsville, Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, etc.). Double digit totals will fall across the northern third of the state.
For the most part, snowfall accumulations will come from this area of precipitation moving through the region.
Heavy wet snow will likely fall for a period of time, especially from northern portions of Indianapolis and points north late morning into the early afternoon.
Temperatures will then likely creep up a few degrees through the mid afternoon hours before falling this evening. Snow will mix with, or change to, snow across central regions this afternoon with the northward track of the low. Note the stark temperature contrast across the region this evening.
The week will get off to a cold start as highs Monday only top out in the lower 20s. Enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday and keep the reports coming!

Colts v. Bengals Forecast Prepared For:
The Indiana Sports Report
01.04.14
Happy game day Colts fans and welcome to the start of the 2015 NFL Playoffs! (Hard to believe)! Today will feature quite a few weather changes when we compare this morning to tonight, but the main message we want to pass along is “get ready for winter!” While temperatures this morning are relatively mild, readings will fall rapidly this afternoon and we forecast left over moisture to transition to light snow and snow showers this afternoon into the evening. Additionally, winds will be strong and gusty. Tailgaters should prepare for cold conditions with rain showers mixing with and transitioning to snow by afternoon. Bundle up and GO COLTS!

Colts v. Texans Forecast Prepared For:
The Indiana Sports Report
12.14.14
Happy game day Colts fans! – New day; same story…central Indiana will remain under the influence of an “inversion” and this will keep low clouds and areas of fog prevalent for most of the day. Milder air in the 50s at 4,000-5,000 feet up is overrunning shallow cooler air that’s trapped at the surface and the result in more of the same- gloomy, cloudy, foggy weather. While temperatures won’t be as mild as they could be without the inversion, tailgaters still can’t complain about 45-50 degree air this time of year :-).

Wintry Mix For Some…Recall we mentioned last week that we’d have to keep close tabs on the week 1 (this week) situation as the pattern looked to present challenges (cold highs to the north and an active storm track south). That’s certainly the case as today is a perfect example of model data struggling on the northern extent of the precipitation and the associated combination with colder air moving south. This morning we’ve had reports of sleet in the Avon and Fortville communities.
We’ll forecast cloudy skies today with best chances of light wintry mix impacting the I-70 corridor and points south. Another little “ripple” of energy will move along the frontal boundary south of the region and provide the chance of a wintry mix this afternoon into tonight.
Tuesday and Wednesday will turn quieter after the chance of morning flurries Tuesday morning.
Late Week System…We’ll keep close eyes on another storm system Thursday. Once again, the fine line between liquid, freezing, and frozen precipitation forms will lie across our immediate region. For now we’ll simply forecast a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and rain Thursday afternoon switching over to a cold rain Friday. Stay tuned. And deviation south or north will have an impact on precipitation type.
Half And Half…The opening to the new weekend looks to be a wet one as an active storm track continues. We’ll then introduce drier air Sunday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 0.75″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Dusting

Colts v. Redskins Forecast Prepared For:
The Indiana Sports Report
11.30.14
Happy game day Colts fans! A strong southwesterly air flow is creating windy conditions for tailgating this morning, but the upside is that temperatures are in the lower 60s! A cold front has it’s eyes set on the region and will arrive this afternoon and evening. This will lead to better afternoon rain chances and a MUCH colder feel as we progress through the evening.

Milder Air, But Rain Chances Increase…Many will welcome a milder southwesterly air flow this weekend. While this will serve to help give temperatures a significant boost from what we’ve dealt with practically the whole month of November, it’ll also provide increasingly cloudy skies and the chance of sprinkles/ light rain showers by afternoon and evening.
Sunday will be even milder as highs reach towards the 60 degree mark. A cold front will approach the area Sunday afternoon and evening and provide a better chance of showers and colder air to open the new work week.
Have The Dramamine Handy…We’re in the beginning stages of a pattern change that’ll promote at least “attempts” of milder air in the coming 7-10 days. That said, cold highs will remain across the northern tier and present challenges in both the temperature forecast, but also precipitation timing in the back half of this forecast period. In the longer term we want to be very clear that signals suggest mid and late December feature a cold and wintry pattern returning.
As we move into the mid and late week stretch plan for possible changes. There are challenges that abound, but for now our best meteorological take will feature increasing clouds Wednesday with light showers arriving by evening. This would be followed by steadier rains Thursday before drier and colder air returns to wrap up the work week. Stay tuned; it’s a tough pattern, as is usually the case during the transitional seasons.
News And Notes: Bill will be on WIBC with Ray Steele this morning around 7:30. Be sure and tune in to hear a little weather chit-chat and a lot of talk about tonight’s Iron Bowl… War Eagle!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 1″

Colts v. Jaguars Forecast Prepared For:
The Indiana Sports Report
11.23.14
Happy game day Colts fans! A significant autumn storm system will lift north out of the southern region today into the Great Lakes Monday. This surface low will deepen as it pushes north and be responsible for a wet and windy Sunday afternoon.
Early tailgating should feature overcast skies along with an isolated shower (most, if not all, of the pregame should be rain-free). Best rain chances will arrive after kick off and feature embedded thunder, as well. Certainly plan on a wet commute home. Visit IndyWx.com for “Indy’s Behind The Scenes Weather” all season long! Go Colts!
