Catching Up On A Monday Morning!

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.

Smorgasbord Of Weather!

Posts this weekend will be a bit “off schedule” as I celebrate my brother’s graduation.  That said, posts will hit the site over the weekend and we’ll also keep you updated on our Twitter feed- @indywx.  A busy time of things lies ahead and a very active weather pattern will carry us into this time next week.  Let’s get into some of the details!

1.) (2) rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be likely Friday.  Weakening showers and embedded thunder will dissipate moving into central Indiana Friday morning.  That said, depending on the amount of clearing that takes place behind the first wave of showers and storms will go a long way into determining the severity of round two Friday evening.  The SPC (Storm Prediction Center) continues to highlight our area for a Slight Risk of severe weather (primary threats are large hail and damaging straight line winds) Friday evening.  We also note the latest high resolution NAM simulated radar shows potential strong to severe thunderstorms moving in tomorrow evening.

2.) A second heavy rain and storm maker will arrive early next week. The Gulf of Mexico is open for business and suggests some locally heavy downpours are a good bet with both storms.  This isn’t bad news as it’s been dry as of late.  We’re now on day 9 without measurable precipitation and that will be changing in a big way over the upcoming 7 day period.  Widespread 2″-2.5″ rains are a good bet over the upcoming week, including some locally heavier totals.

The Weekend Is Here!

After a few clouds this morning, we’re looking at increasing sunshine as we progress through the day.  Simulated satellite shows this well.

Thankfully, this is a sign of things to come and a very nice (and warm) weekend is on tap!

High pressure will build in through the day, helping skies turn increasingly sunny.  A north breeze will keep temperatures cooler today than yesterday’s official downtown high of 74.

Most of Saturday will be dry and feature partly cloudy skies, but clouds will develop and a widely scattered shower will be possible during the afternoon and evening as moisture begins to increase.  Most will stay dry Saturday, however.

Sunday will be a windy and warm day, but with partly cloudy and dry conditions for the better part of the day.  Heavier rain and strong storms will develop to our west Sunday, but it’s really not until Sunday night into Monday when our immediate region will deal with this rainy and stormy weather.

  • Friday: Increasing sunshine; 65
  • Saturday: Partly cloudy; widely scattered PM shower; 43/ 71
  • Sunday: Partly cloudy and windy; developing nighttime rain/storms; 59/ 73
