Sunday Morning Rambles…

I. The dry air we’ve enjoyed the past couple of days will be replaced with an increasingly moist air mass to open the work week.

II. With that will come an increase in cloud cover later today and the possibility of a couple of showers. Better coverage of showers and embedded thunder will return Monday into Tuesday.

Rainfall amounts of 0.25” to 0.75” can be expected during this time period with some neighborhoods accumulating close to an inch.

III. A cold front will sweep across the Ohio Valley for midweek leading to a return of dry and unseasonably cool conditions. This will be followed by a second frontal passage Labor Day weekend that will serve to reinforce the cooler than normal air.

Will have a more detailed post, including longer range thoughts later this evening, friends.

Meteorological Fall Set To Kick-Off Cooler Than Normal?

With only (11) days left in meteorological summer, thoughts continue to focus more on the upcoming fall season.

This was a photo I snapped in the Eagle Creek community back in October of 2013!

While fall foliage is still 5-6 weeks away from “prime time,” medium range computer models continue to suggest the new season will kick off on an unseasonably cool note.

Meteorological fall begins Sept. 1st and runs through the end of November. With that said, you don’t need me to tell you that Labor Day can still produce “summer-like” heat around these parts. On average across central Indiana, we’d expect Labor Day weekend to produce highs in the lower 80s and lows in the lower 60s.

That might be a different story this year as a negative EPO pattern dominates. The end result will likely feature a rather anomalous trough digging into our portion of the country to open up the new season. This is supported with solid agreement between the GEFS and EPS as shown below:

This will likely result in temperatures around 10 degrees (F) below average and most certainly serve as notice that a new season is upon us.

Now will this be an official end to summer-like warmth? Likely not, as there are reasons to believe unseasonably warm weather will build back into the region behind this cool blast. While we don’t want to use this post as our official fall outlook, despite it likely feeling very much like fall as the 1st full weekend of college football kicks off, we think there’s likely more warmth in the tank before we can signal the “all clear” on Summer ’19…
