Sunday Night Thunder

Our nice weekend is set to continue for another 18-24 hours with another unseasonably cool night ahead. While humidity will increase during the afternoon Sunday, most of Sunday will be dry, albeit warmer.  High temperatures will climb into the middle 80s for many central Indiana communities.

Times will begin to change as we go into Sunday night as just the beginning of a series of convective elements come together to impact the region through Tuesday.  Thunderstorms will likely rumble into far western portions of the state as early as 4-5pm.  Speaking of far western portions of Indiana, the updated severe weather outlook from the Storm Prediction Center highlights western Indiana for a slight risk of severe thunderstorms.  Again, this is a late day severe weather risk with damaging wind and large hail of greatest concern.

Forecast simulated radar shows the convection rumbling east Sunday night and most of central and eastern Indiana get in on the thundery action before Sunday is finished.  Here’s a look at what the radar may look like from 8pm Sunday to midnight Monday morning.

While the storms will likely weaken as they track east, a strong thunderstorm or two is certainly possible for the greater Indianapolis region Sunday night.  We’ll keep you posted with future updates.  Have a relaxing Saturday night.

Normal lows and highs for mid June are in the lower 60s and lower 80s, respectfully.  Once again today, temperatures will remain well below average.  Many communities outside of the circle dipped into the 40s this morning- officially 46 this morning here at IndyWx.com HQ.  Highs today will only reach the middle 70s under a mostly sunny sky with a light north breeze.  Get outside and enjoy every minute of it!  (BTW- does this weather have anyone else craving college football season)?  In looking ahead, it’s a good thing we’re able to get the AC a break for a few days, because we still anticipate the heat and humidity to really crank next week.  While Father’s Day will get off to another refreshing start, humidity will build during the afternoon and evening, and really set the tone for the week ahead- hot and humid!  We’ll monitor the chances of a couple complexes of showers and thunderstorms late Sunday night through Tuesday and again Thursday through Friday, but it won’t rain the entire period.

A noisy thunderstorm rolled through the northern suburbs last night.  I was awaken from a deep sleep around 12:30 to plenty of lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.  While there are a couple showers around this morning, those will track east rather quickly and a pleasant northwest wind will usher in amazingly cool and refreshing air for this time of year.  Simply put (yet again) today and Saturday will feature weather that just cannot get any better this time of year.  We forecast many outlying communities away from the city to reach the upper 40s Saturday morning and highs both today and Saturday will only climb into the lower 70s.  Ahhh, anyone else craving fall?!  For those summer lovers, have no fear as heat and humidity will build late in the weekend and really set the tone for the week ahead.  Additionally, a couple round of showers and heavy thunderstorms will be possible next week.  Right now we target Monday and Thursday for best chances of heavy rain.

Tuesday Evening Video Update!

Good evening and thank you for logging onto IndyWx.com!  Tonight’s video covers the unsettled time of things tonight into Wednesday morning as low pressure continues to have a hold on our area’s weather.  Also, we talk long range weather and give you an idea of what you can expect for the rest of the month of June, temperature-wise!  While we didn’t get into the precipitation side of things in tonight’s video for late month, I will say it continues to look very unsettled with above average rainfall anticipated to wrap up the month of June.  Anywhere from an additional 3-5″ of rain is possible as we go through the rest of the month here across central Indiana.

While the CFSv2 can be a bit erratic at times, we feel the model has a good handle on the way the overall pattern will evolve late June into July.

Soaking Rain Ahead Tuesday Into Wednesday.

We still think most of today is dry and while we’re off to a cloudy start, the latest scan of the visible satellite image would suggest some brightening of the sky is a good bet from time to time late morning into the afternoon.

Enjoy whatever sunshine you see today, as clouds begin to lower and thicken this evening and widespread rain won’t be far behind.  The simulated radar shows rain and embedded thunder will be rather widespread Tuesday.

Widespread rainfall totals of 1-2″ will be a good bet between Tuesday and Wednesday and we feel the short-term, high resolution, NAM forecast model has a good handle on the distribution of precipitation.  There will be locally heavier totals.
