Nice Weather Moves In For A Couple Days; Severe Storms Late Wednesday-Thursday…

Screen Shot 2015-06-23 at 7.41.11 AMHighlights:

  • Turning less humid with increasing sunshine this afternoon
  • Next round of strong to severe storms arrive late Wednesday night-Thursday
  • Cooler, drier weekend ahead

A frontal boundary will slip through the region today and provide an increasingly sunny sky this afternoon along with less humid conditions.  A disturbance may provide a shower or storm across far southwestern IN Wednesday, but we think the day will remain dry for the majority of the region.  The next round of strong to severe thunderstorms for our particular part of the region will come late Wednesday night into Thursday morning.  Similar to past thunderstorm complexes, damaging wind and localized flash flooding will be greatest concerns.  Scattered storms continue Friday, but the cold front should sweep the state Friday night and help provide a very nice weekend, including cooler and drier air.

Strong To Severe Storms Possible Tonight…

Screen Shot 2015-06-22 at 7.28.55 AMHighlights:

  • Strong to severe t-storm potential tonight-Tuesday morning
  • More widespread rain and storms late week.
  • Much drier and less humid this weekend.

We’re off to a warm, humid, and hazy start to the day and most of your Monday will be a dry one.  That said, all eyes will be to our NW as we eye thunderstorm complexes that will gain strength this afternoon and evening before tracking southeast.  One storm complex will likely target the northern half of the state late tonight and on into the wee morning hours Tuesday. Damaging wind, vivid lightning, and localized flooding are of greatest concern.

Typical “splash and dash” storm coverage will be with us during the mid week period before a cold front delivers more widespread rain and storms for late week. Locally heavy rain will accompany this front.  As of now, the timing couldn’t be better.  We anticipate a much drier regime to blow into town behind the cold front, setting the stage for a beautiful weekend.

Sunday Evening Rambles…

Monday and Tuesday will serve to offer up a continuation of storm chances- some of which may reach strong to severe levels. Most of both days will be dry,  but…

Needed Dry Time Coming…

Screen Shot 2015-06-20 at 8.02.30 AMHighlights:

  • Dry day coming with increasing sunshine
  • Strong to severe storms possible Sunday
  • Back to an unsettled pattern most of next week

The remnants of Bill continue to push east and we’re now enjoying a drier northeast wind that will shift to the northwest with time by evening.  A nice day is coming, friends!

We’ll watch a thunderstorm complex to our NW tonight and forecast models handle this complex differently.  We’re going with the idea that the complex will weaken moving into central IN during the overnight, but a clap of thunder is certainly possible late tonight/ early Sunday.  The radar will look very impressive to our NW by evening.  Additional afternoon/ evening storms may develop Sunday and these could become strong to severe, as well.

Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will develop as we progress into next week.
