Category: Labor Day Weekend
Today into Wednesday will offer up more of what we’ve grown so accustomed to over the past several days- incredibly humid air, along with scattered heavy thunderstorms. Similar to days past, the humid, “heavy” nature to our air will help fuel localized torrential downpours.
Thankfully, the hour glass has been “flipped” and time is running out on the humid air mass. In fact, as early as Thursday morning, we’ll notice a huge change. A northeast flow will provide a much drier brand of air and temperatures will also cool significantly. Several mornings (Thursday through Sunday) will feature lows in the 50s with highs in the 70s. Lows into the upper 30s will drive southeast into the high ground of the beautiful east TN mountains.
Eventually, our air flow will back around to the southwest and help push Labor Day into the “hot” territory. Highs in the upper 80s to around 90 will be common for Labor Day, itself.
The balance of the first half of September looks warm, but there are indications for changes to begin showing up towards mid to late month that would lead towards more sustained, consistent pushes of cool…

September Scorcher: September has gotten off on a downright hot note. While we have a couple more days of highs that will push 90°, changes are brewing that will…

Highlights:
- Western storms
- Hot Labor Day
- MUCH cooler late next week
Thunderstorms will slowly push south this morning, especially across western portions of the state. Many will be asking “what storms?” while others are getting pounded by heavy rain, vivid lightning, small hail, and strong winds. Best chances of getting a storm will be along and west of I-65.
Drier conditions will build in for the second half of the weekend and into early next week. Labor Day will be a very hot and humid one.
Rain and storm chances will increase as we push into the mid week stretch as a strong cold front moves into the Mid West. MUCH cooler air will infiltrate the state late next week and things will be feeling very “fallish” by the weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″-1″ (locally heavier totals)

Highlights:
- Storm potential north
- Hot Labor Day weekend
- Cold front delivers storms and cooler air next week
We’re off to another steamy one this morning with many neighborhoods already between 65-70 as we type this predawn Friday. We’ll zoom up yet again to around 90 this afternoon with only isolated storm coverage. Better chances of rain and storms can be expected across northeastern portions of the state due to a little “weakness” in the atmosphere.
The story for the long holiday weekend is one of heat and humidity, with little, if any, storm threat (very isolated coverage). Highs Saturday though Monday should reach around 90.
However, changes are coming down the road as a significant cold front sweeps the region Wednesday into Thursday. Showers and thunderstorms will accompany the frontal passage followed by a MUCH cooler, fall-like, air mass arriving by the end of next week.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 1″

Highlights:
- Hot and humid conditions continue
- Isolated storm coverage
- Cold front approaches next week
In the short term, heat and humidity remain the big weather story as we head into the long Labor Day weekend, and unofficial end of summer. BTW- meteorological summer ended Monday evening; however someone forgot to tell Mother Nature. Isolated storm coverage will be present into the weekend.
The next big weather maker is on the horizon by the middle of next week in the form of a cold front. Much better chances of more widespread showers and thunderstorms should precede the front before a much cooler air mass arrives late next week.

Highlights:
- 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.

Highlights:
- 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)
