Still Focused On This Evening For Severe Storm Potential.

A look at some of the latest data hot off the press suggests we remain under fire for the potential of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms late afternoon into the evening hours.  Initial activity could fire as early as 3-4 o’clock across western sections.  The latest HRRR forecast radar (valid at 4pm) shows an advancing line of strong, and possibly severe, storms pushing east.

Again, the primary threat is damaging wind, but a couple hail reports will also be possible.

As of the 12 o’clock hour, a complex of thunderstorms sits to our west across western/ central portions of Illinois.  We’ll keep a close eye on this complex as it continues pushing east and likely intensifies in a hot, humid, and unstable air mass over the next few hours.  Please plan a way to keep abreast of the latest radar and local media this afternoon and evening as storms move in.

Reinforcing Cool Air Blowing In…A reinforcing push of cool air is blowing into town today and will result in a downright chilly night ahead (especially considering the time of year).  A couple showers can still be expected across south-central parts of the state, but won’t amount to much.  The big news will be the chilly temperatures tonight as we forecast upper 40s officially in the city and low to mid 40s across northeastern suburbs.  Highs will only climb into the middle 70s with lots of sunshine Friday.

Warmer And More Unsettled…Temperatures will moderate into the weekend, but we’re also going to introduce rain chances back into the picture.  Most of Saturday will remain rain-free, but we can’t rule out scattered showers and thunderstorms as the first in a series of disturbances tries to overcome initial dry air in place.  Better rain and storm chances will prevail Sunday.

Heavy Rain Next Week…Forecast rainfall numbers continue to rise next week as a series of weather makers impacts central Indiana.  A good consensus would place 1.5″ to 2″ of rain down, with locally heavier totals.  Stay tuned as we fine tune timing.

7-Day Precipitation Outlook:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″-2″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

We’re enjoying another colorful sunrise across central Indiana this morning.  John Salewicz snapped this scenic photo earlier this morning.  Thanks, John!
