Much Needed Time To Dry Out…

It was another wet and stormy weekend across central Indiana. Heaviest rain fell north of the city, itself, with several areas recording over 3″.

March, as a whole, has been wet. Officially, Indianapolis is running 1.36″ above average, month-to-date.

Thankfully, the upcoming week will feature much calmer and quieter conditions. In fact, we should make it through the entire work week without a drop of precipitation. A system will pass well to the south of central Indiana Tuesday.

Drier than average conditions will prevail this week, giving our immediate area much needed time to let saturated soils slowly soak up that water from the weekend.

The next opportunity for showers and thunderstorms will arrive on the scene Saturday. From this distance, this looks to be a rather moisture starved front, but we’ll keep close eyes on things as we get closer to the weekend.

March To-Date And Looking Ahead…

March to-date is running warmer and wetter than average across not only central Indiana, but a good chunk of the central and eastern part of the country.

For comparative purposes, our March Temperature Outlook is above. It’ll be interesting to see how everything shakes out by month’s end.

We anticipated a wet month, as well, into the middle MS Valley into the Ohio Valley, and eastern Lakes/ Northeast.

Indianapolis is running a little more than 1″ above normal in the rainfall department, and this will grow larger as we progress through the next (10) days.

This upcoming week, alone, we expect storm systems to deliver rain Sunday PM, Tuesday PM, and again late Thursday into Friday. Widespread central Indiana rainfall totals are currently pegged between 1″ and 1.5″, but given the pattern, it wouldn’t surprise me to see those numbers increase as we go forward. Thankfully, there aren’t any storms on the immediate horizon that look to be big severe weather producers, locally.

Despite this weekend’s chill, the balance of what’s left in the month should run well above average across the eastern half of the country.

More on what we think April will provide a bit later…
