Wednesday Morning Weather Notebook…

1.)  Humidity is on the rise this morning and scattered showers and thunderstorms will follow late morning into the early afternoon.

CODNEXLAB-1km-C_Illinois-rad-ani24-201608241115-100-100-022.)  HRRR futurecast radar delivers thunderstorms into central IN around the lunchtime hour.

13.) Scattered thunderstorms remain Thursday (some strong to severe), but drier air will briefly push in across the northern half of the region Friday.  We think from Indianapolis and points north, it’ll be a very pleasant end to the work week.  That said, “briefly” is the key word.  Moisture will surge north again Saturday and Sunday and isolated to scattered storms will follow suit.

DryMoist4.)  Attention next week will shift to the tropics.  There are many more questions than answers at this point, but understand the potential is there for significant tropical troubles next week.  Intensity and track are far from etched in stone, but if your travels take you to the Gulf Coast, we suggest you remain abreast of the latest developments- particularly the southeastern FL coast and the north-central Gulf Coast.

Here on the home front, it’s not entirely out of the equation our region deals with tropical remnants in the Week 2 time period.

Patience is required as we sort through the data in the coming days…

It’s Still Summer, After All…

Screen Shot 2016-08-23 at 7.09.32 AMHighlights:

  • Dry pattern continues today
  • Mid week storms
  • Questions abound this weekend

Heat And Humidity Return…High pressure will give way to an approaching cold front as we progress from early to mid week.  Ahead of the front, a southwest air flow will transport an increasingly warm and muggy air mass northward.  It’ll, unfortunately, feel much more humid Wednesday and Thursday.  With the frontal boundary nearby and the increased humidity, expect scattered to numerous thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday (along with locally heavy downpours).  A couple strong storms are also possible.

We still think drier air will press into central IN to wrap up the work week and head into the first half of the weekend.  That said, moisture returns as early as Sunday and leads to a mention of thunderstorms, especially during the PM.  Stay tuned as we continue to fine tune timing.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall:  1.00″-1.50″

An Early Taste Of Fall…

Screen Shot 2016-08-21 at 11.51.52 AMHighlights:

  • Cooler and mostly sunny
  • Dry weather into the early parts of the work week
  • Midweek storms

Early Fall Preview…A cold front swept through the state last night and was accompanied by strong storms and heavy rain.  The unsettled conditions are now to our east and in return we’re left with a much cooler, drier, and breezy day.  With low humidity, temperatures running significantly below normal, and a NW breeze in place, you have our approval to begin shifting thoughts to fall. 🙂

Dry and pleasant air will remain in place through early week before we back the air flow around to the SW.  Increasingly muggy conditions will return Wednesday into Thursday and as a cold front interacts with the moist air in place, showers and thunderstorms will be on the increase Wednesday into Thursday.  The good news?  The front should slide to our south and result in dry and pleasant conditions next weekend.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.50″-0.75″
