IndyWx.com; IndySportsReport.com Announce Long-Term Partnership

ISRlogo2-280x121Whitestown, IN- Just in time for the 2014-2015 football season, we’re excited to announce a new partnership with IndySportsReport.com.  IndyWx.com will be the sole provider of weather forecasts for Colts games this fall, including that all-important detailed tailgate forecast.  Additionally, IndyWx.com will provide a state-wide weather break down for the many high school football games all autumn long.

The Indiana Sports Report was started in 2013 as an alternative to pay walls and ‘babes of the day.’ If you want a no-nonsense, no frills approach to your sports coverage, then you’ve come to the right place. The Indiana Sports Report has the entire state of Indiana sports covered from high school to the pros, from Evansville to South Bend. The reporters of the Indiana Sports Report bring you insight from the courts and fields and locker rooms. ISR provides you with up-to-the-minute analysis and unfiltered opinions.

The Indiana Sports Report is an accredited member of the media. This is how ISR differs from other blogs and so-called news sites. ISR is viewed as a credible news source for Central Indiana. ISR is fully credentialed with:

  • Indianapolis Colts
  • Indiana Pacers
  • Indiana Fever
  • Indianapolis Indians
  • Indy Eleven
  • Indiana Ice
  • Indianapolis Motor Speedway
  • Lucas Oil Raceway Park
  • Purdue University Athletics
  • Indiana University Athletics
  • Ball State University Athletics
  • Indiana State University Athletics
  • Butler University Athletics

ISR enjoys covering all sports from a new perspective. All of their reporters are new to the business and have a general “thirst’ for digging in.

Mr. Jessen has some exciting plans for IndySportsReport.com moving forward.  In addition to the mainstay items that you can find on the site, the team has planned expanded state-wide coverage.  “This fall, we have expanded into covering high school football as well as basketball. It brings a whole new look to our site than before. And with our growing college coverage of Purdue, IU, ISU, Ball State and into IUPUI, we want to cover all sports properly; not just the ones that bring the most viewers.”

Like Bill, Mr. Jessen is a fan of the colder months.  “I am a fall and winter kinda guy. I love watching patterns change and things develop honestly. God has made our world so perfect with how the seasons change and react that it is awesome to sit back and watch His glory and handiwork.”

We are thrilled to be a partner with the Indiana Sports Report and look forward to providing a behind the scenes forecast you learn to count on all autumn long!

More Storms To Go…Our “ring of fire” pattern continues into the weekend and as disturbances ride the periphery of the heat dome to our south, periods of thunderstorms will be the result here.  Locally heavy rain will be possible with each storm complex and localized flooding will result.  Some extreme rainfall amounts of 5-8″ has been reported over the past couple days across north-central Indiana where training of storms has occurred.

After our current storm complex moves southeast, we think we deal with an additional couple of storm complexes late tonight into early Saturday and again Saturday evening.  Overall coverage of storms will be on the decline as we go deeper into the weekend, but rain can’t be totally eliminated from your forecast.

Hot And Humid…While we may fall a degree or two shy of the polarizing 90 degree mark, it’ll still feel mighty hot and humid today and Saturday. As rain and storm chances begin to decrease, that’ll allow us to take temperatures up a couple notches late weekend into early next week.  We forecast lower 90s Sunday through at least next Tuesday.

Late Month Relief…We still forecast a cooler pattern developing to wrap up August and move into September.  Much more on this in the coming days.  Right now, the big story remains the storm chances in the short term.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2.00″ (locally heavier totals)
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast:  0.00″
Another complex of rain and strong storms will rumble in tonight/Saturday morning.

Mostly Dry Start To The Work Week…Dense fog is around in spots this morning, particularly northwest of the city. Otherwise, a broad circulation around a departing area of low pressure may help spark an isolated shower or thunderstorm across east-central parts of the state this afternoon.  The key word here is “isolated,” however, and most will remain rain-free today.

Better Rain/ Storm Chances…Details on timing are still murky, but we forecast better rain and storm chances Tuesday afternoon on through the mid week period.  With all of the moisture in the air, locally heavy downpours can be expected.  The nature of the showers and thunderstorms will be what you would expect this time of year- scattered, meaning not everyone will see beneficial rains.

Serious Heat And Humidity…Temperatures will reach the hottest levels of the summer late week into the weekend.  Plenty of humidity will be in place as well and conditions may warrant watches, warnings, or advisories for the heat and humidity Friday-Sunday.  In a summer that’s spoiled many of us with unseasonably cool conditions, we’ll make up for at least a portion of lost time over the upcoming weekend.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″-1.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
While today will be mostly dry, better chances of scattered thunderstorms lie ahead Tuesday.

More Like Summer…The upper air pattern this week will be unlike what we’ve seen the majority of the summer.  A ridge of high pressure will expand across the southeast region and build northwest.  Meanwhile, a trough and associated cooler air mass will impact the northern Rockies and northwest region.

Low pressure will dominate our sensible weather today with lots of clouds and widespread rain downstate.  Scattered showers and thunderstorms will impact central portions of the state.  As we progress into the work week, we’ll have to remain on our toes for thunderstorm complexes that may ride the periphery of the expanding hot dome to our south.  This will keep things rather active and unsettled through the forecast period.

The other topic of interest will be our temperatures. Whether we crack the official 90 degree mark or not is yet to be seen, but it’ll certainly feel very hot and humid around these parts through the week, especially the back half of the week.  “Air you can wear” will be the weather theme this week.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″-2.00″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
Cool shifts northwest this week while heat builds across the south and central.

Unsettled Weekend…

Some are waking up to the pitter-patter of rain drops this morning and this is a sign of what’s ahead this weekend.  While it won’t rain the entire time, most folks will see beneficial rainfall over the weekend.  In this case, rain is a good thing, as we’re running under normal rainfall totals month-to-date by 1.23″.

Morning showers will push through the region before dry conditions return late morning into the early afternoon.  Scattered showers will then again “dot” the central Indiana landscape this evening before potentially a more widespread rain moves in overnight.

This is only the beginning of a rather unsettled week ahead, including multiple rain and storm chances.  Widespread upcoming 7-day precipitation totals range between 1.5″ and 2″, but locally heavier totals can be expected.

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!
