Video Update: Stormy For Some This Afternoon…

Do we rid the morning convection and cloudiness to allow strong to severe thunderstorms to develop this afternoon and evening?  This morning’s video has more.

Strong Storm Threat Wednesday…

  • Scattered strong-severe storm threat Wednesday
  • Drier close to the week
  • Next front arrives Monday PM

Keeping An Eye On Wednesday’s Storm Threat…Today’s rain numbers weren’t uniform in the least, but several neighborhoods picked up beneficial rains of over 1.5″.  Wednesday will also feature the threat of showers and thunderstorms (again, some with locally heavy downpours).  Some of these storms could also reach strong to severe levels during the afternoon/ evening, particularly if morning rain doesn’t “get in the way.”  We’ll watch data overnight and update accordingly come morning.

We’ll turn drier and slightly cooler to close the work week and head on into the weekend.  The heat will begin to crank again early next week, with highs around 90 Sunday and Monday.  Our next weather maker looks to arrive Monday evening as a cold front pushes in from the north.  We’ll feature shower and thunderstorm chances in our Monday PM forecast.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00 (locally heavier totals)

Mid Week Storms…

  • Less humid open to the week
  • Mid week storms
  • Drier weekend

Warm, But Less Humid…As Sunday afternoon progressed into evening, notably drier air moved into central IN.  That less humid feel will be with us as we open the work week, but will still warm quickly (upper 80s this afternoon).

An increasingly moist air mass will return Tuesday into Wednesday and will promote locally heavy rainfall within thunderstorms that develop.  We expect isolated to widely scattered storm coverage Tuesday and scattered coverage Wednesday.  While uniform significant rainfall isn’t likely, localized torrential downpours will be possible as precipitable water values (PWATs) increase.  Additionally, strong to severe storms will be possible.

A drier air mass will return to close the week and head into the weekend.  At one time, models suggested we’d deal with a slow-moving “cut off” low pressure system, but recent trends continue the drier theme.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
