Hot With Isolated Storms…

Screen Shot 2015-09-03 at 7.55.33 AMHighlights:

  • 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.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 1″

Summer Isn’t Letting Go…

Screen Shot 2015-09-01 at 9.42.32 PMHighlights:

  • 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.

Better Coverage Of Storms Tuesday…

Screen Shot 2015-08-31 at 10.09.29 PMHighlights:

  • 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)
