Colder Times Loom; Late Weekend System…
Highlights:
- Second half of the work week trends colder
- Late weekend wintry system?
- Next storm looms next week
Temperatures Trend Downward…Moisture will lift northeast late tonight into Wednesday and could push light showers as far west at the Indy metro late tonight and early Wednesday morning. Better coverage of showers will be found across east and southeast portions of the state Wednesday morning. While highs Wednesday should top out in the lower to middle 50s for most central IN neighborhoods, temperatures will begin to slip during the afternoon and evening hours as colder air slowly oozes in. The cooler trend will continue as we wrap up the work week.
All eyes will then shift to the weekend and a potential storm system Sunday. Model data continues to differ significantly on the all-important details. For now we’ll spare you from the nerdy meteorological lingo 😉 and lean towards increasing clouds Saturday evening with a cold rain or a wintry mix developing Sunday afternoon. Should more energy come out and “phase,” this will become a system that will require more attention in the days ahead. Stay tuned. Any early wintry mix will depart Monday morning and we’ll briefly dry out into Tuesday.
By that point, another storm system will require our attention later next week. Additional wintry prospects loom along with the first true shot of Old Man Winter just beyond this particular forecast period.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: Trace
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″
Sunshine Returns This Weekend; Heavy Rain Event Looms…
Highlights:
- Sunshine finally returns
- Big time rain maker early next week
- Trending colder to open December
Sunshine Slowly Returns…We’ve been socked in with clouds, chilly conditions, and overall gloomy weather for the past several days. Thankfully, sunshine will eventually return this weekend. Today has started with overcast skies, but slow improvements should provide an increasingly sunny sky as the day wears on. Seasonable temperatures can be expected today.
The second half of the weekend will feature more in the way of sunshine, but our next storm system will be awaiting on deck by this point. Southwest winds will turn increasingly breezy by the PM and clouds will quickly increase yet again. Those clouds will yield rain as early as the wee morning hours Monday (well before sunrise). Periods of heavy rain can be expected Monday and even a thunderstorm by afternoon/ evening.
Most of the heavy rain will fall Monday, but we’ll maintain mention of showers in our forecast Tuesday and Wednesday. A second wave of low pressure will develop along a pressing front the middle of next week and spread moisture northeast. The “leader” storm system is much easier to forecast than the “follower” in this scenario. The details are muddy at this point concerning the extent of how far west precipitation can make it. Know that we’re keeping a close eye on things. For the sake of this particular forecast, we’ll include mention of rain showers mixing with snow showers as colder air moves in Thursday. Stay tuned.
The end of the week will feature a colder trend as we usher in December.
One final item on the agenda this morning- with this being Iron Bowl Saturday, we can’t leave you without wishing you an energetic WAR EAGLE!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: Trace
- Rainfall: 1.25-1.75 (locally heavier totals)

Happy Thanksgiving; Time To Get Used To An Active Pattern…
Highlights:
- Foggy start to Thanksgiving; Chilly
- Milder start to the week
- Big storm next week
Happy Thanksgiving…Before we dive into the upcoming active period of weather ahead, we want to wish you and yours and very happy and blessed Thanksgiving holiday. We here at IndyWx.com are so thankful for your friendship over the years and the countless weather reports and photos you send in on a daily basis. Find time to relax and enjoy the important things in life this holiday season.
After a wet, raw, and dreary Wednesday, Thanksgiving will be drier. Unfortunately, a large chunk of the day will likely feature low clouds, areas of fog, and drizzle, especially in the morning. Reinforcing cool air will blow in as shoppers hit the stores Friday, along with gusty winds and a possible sprinkle. Saturday will be chilly and blustery. After a Sunday morning freeze, moderating temperatures will develop as we close the weekend and open the new work week. This will be courtesy of SW winds ahead of a significant storm system that’s brewing next week.
Clouds will increase late Sunday and rain will follow Monday. Rain will increase in coverage and intensity and we’ll also add in the potential of strong storms into the mix Tuesday. (More details to come once we move closer, concerning strong to potentially severe prospects Tuesday). Much colder air will pour into the region behind the storm system and allow precipitation to mix with wet snow Wednesday.
This is only the beginning of what looks to be a very stormy and increasingly cold weather pattern. Longer-term model data suggests this will be the story throughout the majority of December. Our call of a snowier than normal December remains…
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 2.50″-3.50″
