Heavy Rain Event To Wrap Up The Week…

Today will feature another day of gorgeous weather, including plentiful sunshine and warmer temperatures! After another frosty start, highs this afternoon will reach the middle 50s. Enjoy it as weather conditions will begin to deteriorate as we wrap up the week.

Scattered showers will arrive tomorrow, but these won’t really be a big deal. The bigger story will be gusty southwest winds and temperatures that top out in the lower 60s.

The first of a couple rounds of heavier rainfall will arrive Thursday night into Friday morning.

A cold front will remain draped over the region into Saturday before getting a “nudge” south Saturday night. This will serve as the focal point for additional rounds of rain Friday night into Saturday.

While precipitable water values won’t be overly “juicy” they will be sufficient enough to result in moderate to locally heavy rainfall at times.

A widespread soaking of 1″ to 2″ is a good bet by the time high pressure returns Sunday.

Now We’re Talking…

Meteorological Spring has gotten off to a cold start- to the tune of nearly 5 degrees below average at IND through 3/15.

Note the brutal cold across the Northern Plains and Rockies.

The upcoming week will feature a positive PNA pattern and associated cooler than average theme to open, before beginning to moderate mid-to-late in the work week.

That said, time is limited on the chilly pattern and an overall significant shift to more of a sustained spring-like pattern awaits to close March and as we head into April.

Note the warmth that follows:

This will result in many more days in the 60s and 70s as we put a wrap on March and open April.

While weak systems will continue to impact the area (tomorrow, Wednesday, and again next Sunday), the deeper, moisture-laden storms will take a “backseat” during the fast-moving northwest flow. That begins to change during the last few days of the month and on into April. The latest ensemble guidance sees the return of a more active pattern, likely complete with heavier rain events and the potential of stronger storms.

Rain And Embedded Thunder Increases This Afternoon; Strong Wind Event Tonight…

Our quiet Saturday will transition to a rather “bumpy” time of things by the afternoon into tonight as a storm system moves through. Showers and embedded thunder off to our southwest this morning will rumble across central Indiana this afternoon and evening.

Radar update at 11:15a

Forecast radar products show widespread showers and embedded thunder through the afternoon hours into the evening. Coverage of rain will be greatest between 2p and 6p. Some locally heavy downpours are possible. While severe weather isn’t expected across central Indiana, a few strong to severe storms, capable of damaging straight line winds, will be possible across southern parts of the state. Storm total rainfall amounts of 0.75″ to 1.25″ will be common across the region.

Attention will then shift to strong and gusty winds this evening into tonight. Gusts of 50-55 MPH will be common across central Indiana during this timeframe. Unfortunately, downed trees and potential for power outages will be on the increase tonight.

Winds will remain gusty into Sunday morning, but begin to diminish through the day.
