Storms To Our Northwest This Morning…A complex of showers and embedded thunderstorms is moving into extreme northwest portions of the state this morning.  We have a very dry and stable air mass in place locally and these storms will weaken as they continue to sag southeast.  Most will remain rain-free today, but some light rain will be possible across northwestern and north-central portions of the state later this morning. (NOT a big deal).

Severe; Heavy Rain Threat Wednesday…A strong cold front will push into central Indiana Wednesday night. A warm and humid air mass will be in place and as the front moves through the region, widespread showers and thunderstorms will move over the area.  Locally heavy rainfall will be likely and embedded strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible.  Damaging wind and hail is our biggest concern, but a quick spin-up tornado can’t be ruled out.  We target Wednesday evening and nighttime for greatest chances of thunderstorms across our immediate area.

MUCH Cooler…An October-like air mass will filter into the region late week and as we go into the weekend.  A reinforcing shot of cool air will arrive Saturday with a passing shower possible.  Hope you’re ready for some true fall-like weather!

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Hopefully you had a chance to see the last ‘super moon’ of the year last night.  John Salewicz and Brian Jessen caught the super moon in Zionsville (top) and Brownsburg (bottom).  Thanks, guys!

Blow off clouds will move into central and northern portions of the state this morning as a weakening area of showers and thunderstorms pushes closer.

Beautiful Open To The Work Week…Canadian high pressure will remain in control of our weather as we open up the new work week. Look for plentiful sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures.

Humidity Builds; Severe Chances Wednesday…Tuesday will be a transition day between the cooler, drier feel from the weekend and a briefly warmer and much more humid regime for mid week.

An isolated shower is possible Tuesday, but most communities will remain rain-free.  Our focus will remain on Wednesday as a severe weather episode is possible.  A strong autumn cold front will slice into a warm, humid, and unstable air mass Wednesday afternoon and strong to severe thunderstorms will erupt.  All modes of severe weather will be in play Wednesday and we target the afternoon into the evening for the best chances of severe.  Locally heavy rainfall is also a good bet.  We’ll have more details on timing and threats as we move forward.

Unseasonably Chilly…A late October-like air mass will invade as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.  Jackets and sweat shirts will be needed as temperatures fall to levels more than 15 degrees below normal.  Dry and crisp air will remain in place through the weekend.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ – 2″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

IndySportsReport.com Football Forecast Highlights Nighttime Storms…

Good morning football fans (best time of year, IMO)!  Your IndySportsReport.com High School Football Forecast features one more warm and humid evening highlighted by an increasingly stormy look as the evening transitions into the nighttime hours.

A cold front will slice into a very warm and humid air mass Friday night.  After a mostly quiet weather day across central Indiana, conditions will begin to go downhill Friday evening and night as the front draws closer.  We’ll monitor a line of thunderstorms approaching the region later tonight and a few of these could be strong to severe.  This shouldn’t be a major severe weather episode, but it only takes one strong to severe storm to make a mess of things.

We'll target 7p to midnight for a line of strong to potentially severe storms to move through central Indiana. Folks attending high school football games should monitor radar and weather conditions.

We’ll target 7p to midnight for a line of strong to potentially severe storms to move through central Indiana. Folks attending high school football games should monitor radar and weather conditions.

Dew points will be oppressive (in the lower 70s) and lead to a muggy feel.  Precipitable water values will reach 2″ in spots and suggest a locally heavy rainfall threat within the stronger storms.

Official IndySportsReport.com high school football forecast for Friday, Sept 5th:

Increasingly cloudy, warm, and humid.  Coverage of showers and thunderstorms will increase from north to south through the evening and nighttime hours.  A few of the storms may become strong to severe and produce vivid cloud-to-ground lightning, locally heavy rain, and strong winds.  Rainfall potential tonight will range from 0.25″ to 0.50″, but some local downpours may push totals closer to 1″ in localized spots.  Temperatures will begin in the mid to upper 80s before slowly falling through the game.

Wet Pattern Looks To Continue Into Mid Month…

I was out and about earlier today and taking note that local lawns are much greener than they typically have been over the past few years by early September.  We can thank recent rains and warmth, but it’s been a wet year, overall, to date.  Think back to all of the winter snows and then add the copious spring and summer rains.  The end result so far?  2014 is running close to 2″ above normal precipitation at IND.

Overnight rains went close to forecast.  We picked up 1″ on the dot in the city, including northern ‘burbs.  (IndyWx.com HQ in southern Boone County also picked up 1″).  Heavier rains and localized flash flooding took place down state.

A look at today’s rainfall:

conus_precip-composite_hi_res

Moving forward, the pattern over the upcoming (2) weeks appears wetter than normal.

In the shorter term, the GFS and Canadian paint a wet picture out by Days 7-10 (BTW- the European agrees).

gfs_tprecip_ma_65

 

cmc_total_precip_ma_41

Modeling suggests 2-3″ type rainfall is possible over the upcoming 7-10 day period.  A transient pattern can be thanked for the overall wet forecast.

The CFSv2 also suggests precipitation runs 150%-200% of normal levels through mid September.

cfs_tprecip_anom_noram_2014090212_61

As harvest begins across some Hoosier farm lands, note the increased wetness in the pattern through the upcoming 14 days, or so.

The region will remain in an active pattern through the next couple weeks, at least, as we lie in the battle ground between a stubborn southeastern ridge and an increasingly active early fall northern stream.  A wetter than normal mid west will ensue…

Decreasing Rain Coverage; Increasing Sunshine…A shield of moderate to heavy rain encompassed the state during the overnight.  This shield of rain is slowly moving east, southeast and we’ll be looking at improving weather through the day.  There’s still the chance of a widely scattered thunderstorm late morning or early afternoon as a frontal boundary slides through the region.

Sunny Days…As we progress through the mid and late week stretch, we’ll enjoy dry skies and plentiful sunshine.  Normal lows and highs are in the lower 60s and lower 80s this time of year, so we’ll be very close to that Wednesday before moderating temperatures take us warmer than average to wrap up the work week.

Late Week Cold Front; Autumn Feel This Weekend…A cold front will slice into the warm and humid air mass Friday evening and lead to the possibility of a broken line of strong to potentially severe thunderstorms.  A MUCH cooler air mass will then invade the region behind the boundary, leading to a true fall-like feel this weekend!

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast:  0.50″ – 0.75″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

John Salewicz sent us this beautiful sunrise photo Saturday morning before storms invaded portions of central Indiana.  Thanks, John!
