Finalized May Outlook: One Word? Volatile

Averages for May are as follows:

*High: 72.8

*Low: 52.6

*Rainfall: 5.05″

*Snowfall: Trace

When all is said and done, this is how we see the last month of meteorological spring shaping up:

Medium and longer range guidance has been anything but consistent over the past few weeks for May, which doesn’t help in producing a monthly outlook. A large part of this may have to do with the renewed hyperactive MJO.

This can lead to volatile swings in the overall pattern as we get into the mid to late part of the month. Early on, confidence is higher in a “battle” setting up between late season anomalous cold across the north and budding summer-like warmth across the south.

This will help add fuel to the fire in what should be an overall wet month across a large portion of the country.

With that said, we think ridging is likely to keep the extreme southeastern region drier than normal for the bulk of the month.

As we look towards mid-May, that battle between southeastern ridging and troughiness across the northern region continues to argue for active times remaining.

Speaking more specific to central IN and the greater OHV region overall, we think a cooler and wetter than normal month awaits. Unfortunately, delays are likely to continue from an agriculture/ Plant ’19 perspective…

Reviewing Model Changes And Differences For The Weekend…

The theme this week is for relatively weak and fast-moving weather systems to impact our area. The first of (2) systems will slip through central Indiana this afternoon without much fanfare in the least (increased cloud cover and a noted wind shift that will deliver cooler air, but not much, if any, precipitation).

The 2nd system will have a bit more moisture to work with and, accordingly, we anticipate better rain chances in the Wednesday-Thursday time period. With that said, this is still nothing to “write home about.”

Scattered showers and possibly a couple of thunderstorms will return to the area Wednesday into Thursday. Rainfall amounts aren’t expected to be heavy in the least.

For most central Indiana rain gauges, an average of 0.25″ to 0.50″ can be expected with this midweek system.

Weak high pressure will return Friday to allow for a dry and increasingly sunny close to the work week. Sunshine should be with us to open the weekend Saturday morning, but models are speeding up our next weather maker. At one time what appeared to be a Sunday arrival, it now looks like clouds will be on the increase through the late morning and early afternoon Saturday with rain chances arriving as early as late afternoon Saturday.

Heaviest rainfall (and even snow) will be located to the north of the surface low track- well north of central Indiana. Nonetheless, better coverage of showers and embedded thunder is expected Saturday afternoon into the evening hours.

Early rain is possible Sunday, otherwise we anticipate an increasingly sunny sky to take hold as we move through the 2nd half of the weekend. The big story will be the cooler air to wrap up the weekend. Highs will top out around 60 Saturday and likely remain in the 50s Sunday.
