Pleasant Now; Very Cool, Wet (For Some), And Windy Close To The Week…
Highlights:
- Pleasant stretch of midweek weather
- Harvey’s remnants impact the region
- Gearing up for a strong cold front just after Labor Day
Calm Before The Storm…Weak high pressure will control our midweek weather. Patchy fog will eventually burn off to partly cloudy conditions this afternoon. A backdoor cold front will, uneventfully, slip through the state Thursday. An isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible Thursday afternoon, but most neighborhoods should remain rain-free.
Then our attention turns to Harvey’s remnants. The greatest impact on central Indiana will be unseasonably cool temperatures and strong and gusty easterly winds. While the precipitation shield should encompass all of central Indiana, we still believe this will be more “showery” in nature for the city and points north, including north-central parts of the state. Steadier and heavier rains are likely across southern and southeastern portions of the state (where the axis of 2″+ totals will be likely). The combination of high pressure located to our northeast and Harvey’s circulation passing along the Ohio River will result in a very stiff easterly flow Friday. Expect temperatures in the 50s most of the day with gusts over 30 MPH at times. Have the jackets and sweaters ready.
Moisture will begin to pull east of the region Saturday, but we’ll include the chance of morning showers.
We’ll be in between storms Sunday and Labor Day, itself. Dry and pleasant conditions can be expected before a strong cold front moves through the state Tuesday. Scattered showers and a possible thunderstorm will accompany this frontal passage, followed by the coolest air since last spring by the middle of next week. Get set for an October-like feel…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.30″ – 1.00″

Tuesday Morning Rambles…

Warmth Next Week Gives Way To A Cool Mid Month…
The refreshingly cool couple days we’ve recently enjoyed will begin to give way to moderating temperatures today. Humidity levels will remain pleasant and it’ll be a great Labor Day weekend to spend time outdoors. Highs will top out around 80 today and into the middle 80s Sunday. Labor Day will feature the mercury climbing closer to the 90 degree mark. – Fitting, I suppose, for the unofficial end to summer.
Humidity levels will be on the uptick come Monday evening and Tuesday as Gulf moisture is transported northward.
It’ll be a downright hot week, as well. Temperatures will top out around 90 through the end of the short work week.
As we rumble into next weekend and the following week indications continue to point towards wetter and cooler times.
After a dry week ahead, rain and storms will come with that increased humidity next weekend.
Early numbers off the press suggest 1″-2″ rains possible next weekend.
The increased rain and storm chances signal another shift in the pattern towards a cooler one just beyond the Day 10 period. From experience, I would look for this trough around mid month to trend deeper (more significant) as time draws closer.
It’s possible the first push of widespread 40s loom around the middle of the month. Time will tell…

Hot Weather Returns…
Highlights:
- Sun-filled days
- Turning hot
- Storm chances return by mid week
Refreshing Temperatures (For Now)…High pressure and a dry northeast flow will continue to support refreshing conditions across the region. Plentiful sunshine along with low humidity values will create ideal weather to spend time outdoors as we go into the long Labor Day weekend. Perhaps a bonfire is in order this evening?
Eventually, our air flow will back around to the southwest and this will allow a much warmer and increasingly humid air mass to return. Sunday will be noticeably hotter, but the true push of humidity will arrive Labor Day into Tuesday. It’ll, officially, feel “oppressive” by mid week. That increased moisture will also help ignite scattered storm chances Wednesday into Thursday.
Looking just beyond the (7) day period shows the potential of a cooler period building back in next weekend…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.25″-0.50″

Meteorological Fall Begins With A Fall-Like Feel…
Meteorological fall runs from Sept. 1st through Nov. 30th. With that said, it’s only fitting we feel more fall-like on this the first day of meteorological fall. We note 24 hour dew point changes below. The browns indicate much drier air pressing south over the next 24-36 hours.
You’ll definitely notice the drier, crisp feel to the air upon stepping outside this morning. If you try hard enough, you can almost smell fall! 🙂
That drier air will support multiple nights with low temperatures into the lower and middle 50s tonight through Sunday morning. We may even have a few neighborhoods dip into the upper 40s Friday or Saturday morning.
We know this is the beginning of the transitional time of the year. Eventually, these cold fronts will back more and more of a punch as we rumble deeper into fall. On the flip side, summer isn’t ready to go away without a fight. In fact, temperatures well above normal will return for Labor Day, itself, and continue into the majority of next week. A string of highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s will be common next week.
Longer term, there are indications that continue to support the idea of a potentially more significant cool down around mid September. Stay tuned…

Refreshing Times Ahead…
Highlights:
- Scattered afternoon storms
- Turning much drier and cooler tonight
- Refreshing into the weekend
Cold Front Inbound…We’re getting to that time of the year where cold fronts will begin to pack more and more of a punch, offering up increasingly cool to, eventually, cold air… An early fall-like front will surge south this evening. Ahead of the boundary, scattered thunderstorms will develop this afternoon into the evening- particularly from central into southern portions of the state. Storms will be moving relatively quickly this evening so flash flood concerns are limited.
Behind the front, much drier and cooler air will ooze into the region tonight and set us up for an absolutely delightful few days of weather, complete with dry skies and low humidity. Temperatures into the upper 40s wouldn’t surprise us Saturday morning for outlying communities.
Eventually the heat will return from Labor Day into most of next week. As moisture surges north, scattered storm chances will also return to our forecast by Tuesday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-0.75″

Changes Ahead…
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…
