After a week of that famous summer “heavy” air mass filled with plenty of warmth and humidity, Hoosiers can breathe a sigh of relief this weekend as a much more refreshing northeast flow provides greatly reduced humidity levels. Also, we’ll enjoy plenty of sunshine for your weekend! All-in-all, we’ve lucked out with yet another beauty of a weekend! Get out and enjoy! As we flip the page into the new work week, showers and thunderstorm chances will increase as humidity levels do a rather abrupt face and return to the sultry levels we grew accustomed to this week. Locally heavy rainfall will be a possibility with such moisture content. A period of widespread, enhanced, rains may fall late next week. In unrelated weather news, we’ll also monitor the possibility of something “curious” down in the Gulf of Mexico towards the mid to late week period and the possibility of early season tropical mischief…

I-70 and points south will be the focal point today for shower and thunderstorm development. The video covers this and takes a look at that all-important weekend! Make it a great Thursday!

T-storms will ignite this afternoon, primarily south of the I-70 corridor.

May 27, 2014

The upcoming 7-10 days looks unsettled overall and quite wet. That said, we’re set to enjoy another beautiful weekend with a refreshing northeast breeze in play. We discuss this and look deeper into the month of June in this evening’s video update below!

Latest model data suggests widespread 2-3″ of rain could fall across central Indiana over the course of the upcoming 7-10 days.

Indy Weather Recap And A Look Ahead

Filed under Canadian Model, Flooding, Forecast, Forecast Discussion, Forecast Models, Hail, Heavy Rain, Long Range Discussion, Memorial Day weekend, Race Weekend, Rain, Summer, T-storms, Unseasonably Cool Weather, Unseasonably Warm
May 22, 2014

Wednesday was a stormy day across central Indiana, including damaging wind and hail. Flooding was also a concern in some areas. Officially here at IndyWx.com HQ we picked up 2.21″ of rain Wednesday- most of which fell in a 3 hour time period. Here’s a cool image from the fine folks at Weatherbell Analytics showcasing the heaviest rainfall.

Despite a couple of showers (primarily south of the city) later this evening the upcoming three days will be beautiful and rain-free!

Temperatures are trending cooler when compared to 24 hours ago and as noted here by the 24 temperature difference, the cooler air to our north will continue to push south tonight.

Temperatures and humidity levels will be below normal levels the next couple days before warmth slowly builds Sunday. Lows Saturday morning will dip into the upper 40s for several communities.

True summer-like heat and humidity will lift north Memorial Day into Tuesday. Note the temperature anomalies do an about face from Day 1 to Day 5. Heat and humidity will be on the rebound for the unofficial start to summer, but, as noted above, should remain in the “comfy range” for race day.

With the increasing warmth and humidity will come a return of scattered shower and thunderstorm chances early next week.

As we look forward to early June, there are indications it could open on the warm side. Note relative agreement between the CFSv2 (Climate Forecast System version 2), NAEFS, and Physical Science Division model. Does the warm pattern stick and hold? Not so fast, my friend… 😉

Catching Up On A Monday Morning!

Filed under 7-Day Outlook, Forecast, Forecast Discussion, Forecast Models, GFS, Memorial Day weekend, Race Weekend, Rain, Unseasonably Warm
May 19, 2014

Happy Monday! Here’s hoping everyone had a great weekend! The week ahead will feature a much warmer, muggier regime as early as Tuesday. Rain chances will increase Wednesday night into Thursday (early indications are for around half an inch of rain). We’ll then (thankfully) dry things out and introduce a very pleasant air mass heading into the all-important Memorial Day and Race weekend. We’ll have a full 7-day forecast posted here later this evening. Make it a great Monday!

Southerly winds will transport 80 degree type air and a more humid feel by Tuesday and Wednesday.

A cold front will deliver best rain chances of the week Wednesday night into Thursday.

Slow Improvements…

Light	– – –	– – –	Light	Light	Light	Light

“Improvement” will be the weather word of the weekend, but it’s going to take a couple of slow baby steps before we see full-blown improvement (we think that comes Sunday)! Today will feature more sunshine than Friday, but with plenty of cold air aloft, it won’t take long for that May sun to do it’s dirty work and help showers bubble up this afternoon. While some small hail will be possible with the showers, hail reports won’t be nearly as widespread as what we saw Friday. Temperatures will remain well below normal. We finally think we can shake shower chances Sunday and introduce a partly cloudy sky. Early next week looks dry, as well, until a warm front lifts north Tuesday. This will introduce a much warmer, muggy brand of air to central Indiana and allow for the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms for mid and late week. A weak frontal boundary will slip south Thursday into Friday which will knock temperatures back a few degrees to wrap up the work week. Rainfall amounts through the period will remain rather light, but some local downpours are possible in the muggy air mass mid week.

Forecast radar valid at 2p today shows scattered showers developing.
