Weekly Highlights: Tropical Weather Headlines…

Highlights928104There’s a whole slew of new products we’re going to start rolling out over the next several weeks, including more videos, as well.  One of the new features is a nationwide weekly highlight map, helping showcase the big-ticket weather items that have our attention over the upcoming week.  While we could side with going with fancy graphics, we chose to go the route of a hand drawn map for old time sakes.  🙂 This will be posted on Sunday or Monday of each week.

1.) A cold front will move through the Mid West and Ohio Valley during the early to middle portion of the work week and be responsible for putting a temporary delay in #harvest15.  While rainfall won’t be particularly heavy, it’ll help to serve up a fresh chill to the air as we progress from mid to late week.  A significant temperature reversal can be expected from 10-15 degrees above normal to 10 degrees below normal from early week to late week.

2.)  A tropical disturbance is plaguing the Gulf Coastal waters with rough surf, gusty winds, and heavy rain to open the week.  As this disturbance moves northeast, heavy rains will encompass a large portion of the southeast, as well as southern and central Appalachians, on up the eastern seaboard.

3.)  Perhaps of more importance is the way things evolve over the coming couple days with TD 11 and the overall weather pattern off the eastern seaboard.  If you live along the East Coast, you’ll want to pay particularly close attention to the goings on.  At the very least, an impactful system is ahead from a heavy rain and erosion perspective, but there’s also the potential of something more severe from a purely tropical stand point.

4.)  An area of low pressure will drop south along the Front Range late in the period and offer up beneficial moisture to not only the Front Range, but the central Plains.

As always, you can follow us on Twitter (@indywx) or e-mail us at bill@indywx.com for more on the variety of weather consulting we provide.  Have a great day and God Bless!

Summer Isn’t Letting Go…

Screen Shot 2015-09-01 at 9.42.32 PMHighlights:

  • Isolated slow moving storms
  • Hot and humid air mass remains
  • Stagnant pattern

An upper level disturbance will push slowly east into Ohio Wednesday, but will remain close enough to have some impact on our local weather.  Coverage of storms won’t be as widespread as those of today, but we’ll likely see a few slow moving, strong storms develop across central IN all the same.

We’ll maintain mention of isolated storms into the weekend, but the big weather story will be the unseasonably hot and humid air mass in place.  It’s all part of the big weather picture that includes a strengthening high pressure ridge (hot dome) over the Lakes and SE Canada as we rumble into the long holiday weekend.

Looking ahead, there are indications that more active times are around the corner once to mid month.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.25″ – 0.50″ (locally heavier totals)

Storms rumbled across portions of central IN today, but the “@cryptics cam” caught a glorious sunset from Danville this evening.

Better Coverage Of Storms Tuesday…

Screen Shot 2015-08-31 at 10.09.29 PMHighlights:

  • Better coverage of Tuesday storms
  • Splash and dash storms through the rest of the week
  • Hot pattern continues into the holiday weekend

An upper level disturbance will track overhead Tuesday and be responsible for helping kick off more widespread showers and thunderstorms.  These will be slow movers and capable of depositing hefty rainfall totals in localized areas.  This won’t be a “uniform” rain event by any stretch of the imagination and some locales may not even see a drop of rain.

Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will diminish to “isolated” for mid and late week.  The big weather story will be the unseasonably warm regime leading into the holiday weekend.  Our next storm of note appears to be on the horizon around a week from today and deliver better rain and storm chances by next Tuesday, along with cooler air.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″ (locally heavier totals)
