Summer Like Now, But Fall Weather Is Coming…

Screen Shot 2015-09-07 at 9.57.37 PMHighlights:

  • Shower and storm chances
  • One-two punch of cooler air
  • Very fall-like weekend

A cold front is draped across the Plains this evening helping to ignite thunderstorms.  This front will slowly continue to push east and be responsible for increased chances of showers and thunderstorms across our neck of the woods late Tuesday into Wednesday.  We think a rather large area of showers and thunderstorms will diminish in intensity and coverage as it pushes across the state Tuesday night.  For an area that’s grown dry as of late, that’s not the news we want to hear.  There will be another opportunity for showers and thunderstorms to develop ahead of the frontal boundary that passes late Wednesday.

Drier and cooler weather will build in to close the work week, but a secondary push of cool, autumn-like air will arrive in time for the weekend.  Add in some upper level energy and we’ll need to mention a passing shower Saturday and Sunday.  It’ll feel drastically different this weekend that what we experienced last weekend.  Pumpkin spice latte, anyone? 🙂

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast:  0.25″ – 0.50″

Summer Like Now, But Cooler Times Loom…

Screen Shot 2015-09-04 at 7.59.33 AMHighlights:

  • Storm potential north
  • Hot Labor Day weekend
  • Cold front delivers storms and cooler air next week

We’re off to another steamy one this morning with many neighborhoods already between 65-70 as we type this predawn Friday.  We’ll zoom up yet again to around 90 this afternoon with only isolated storm coverage.  Better chances of rain and storms can be expected across northeastern portions of the state due to a little “weakness” in the atmosphere.

The story for the long holiday weekend is one of heat and humidity, with little, if any, storm threat (very isolated coverage).  Highs Saturday though Monday should reach around 90.

However, changes are coming down the road as a significant cold front sweeps the region Wednesday into Thursday.  Showers and thunderstorms will accompany the frontal passage followed by a MUCH cooler, fall-like, air mass arriving by the end of 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.
