Storms To Our Northwest This Morning…A complex of showers and embedded thunderstorms is moving into extreme northwest portions of the state this morning.  We have a very dry and stable air mass in place locally and these storms will weaken as they continue to sag southeast.  Most will remain rain-free today, but some light rain will be possible across northwestern and north-central portions of the state later this morning. (NOT a big deal).

Severe; Heavy Rain Threat Wednesday…A strong cold front will push into central Indiana Wednesday night. A warm and humid air mass will be in place and as the front moves through the region, widespread showers and thunderstorms will move over the area.  Locally heavy rainfall will be likely and embedded strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible.  Damaging wind and hail is our biggest concern, but a quick spin-up tornado can’t be ruled out.  We target Wednesday evening and nighttime for greatest chances of thunderstorms across our immediate area.

MUCH Cooler…An October-like air mass will filter into the region late week and as we go into the weekend.  A reinforcing shot of cool air will arrive Saturday with a passing shower possible.  Hope you’re ready for some true fall-like weather!

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.50″ – 2″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Hopefully you had a chance to see the last ‘super moon’ of the year last night.  John Salewicz and Brian Jessen caught the super moon in Zionsville (top) and Brownsburg (bottom).  Thanks, guys!

Blow off clouds will move into central and northern portions of the state this morning as a weakening area of showers and thunderstorms pushes closer.

Stormy/ Rainy Wednesday Shaping Up…

The Storm Prediction Center continues to outline our region for severe potential Wednesday. Early indications suggest we’re eyeing another evening and nighttime storm threat, but there remain questions in regards…

Beautiful Open To The Work Week…Canadian high pressure will remain in control of our weather as we open up the new work week. Look for plentiful sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures.

Humidity Builds; Severe Chances Wednesday…Tuesday will be a transition day between the cooler, drier feel from the weekend and a briefly warmer and much more humid regime for mid week.

An isolated shower is possible Tuesday, but most communities will remain rain-free.  Our focus will remain on Wednesday as a severe weather episode is possible.  A strong autumn cold front will slice into a warm, humid, and unstable air mass Wednesday afternoon and strong to severe thunderstorms will erupt.  All modes of severe weather will be in play Wednesday and we target the afternoon into the evening for the best chances of severe.  Locally heavy rainfall is also a good bet.  We’ll have more details on timing and threats as we move forward.

Unseasonably Chilly…A late October-like air mass will invade as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.  Jackets and sweat shirts will be needed as temperatures fall to levels more than 15 degrees below normal.  Dry and crisp air will remain in place through the weekend.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ – 2″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Nice Now, But Stormier Times Loom…

What a beautiful Sunday underway across central Indiana. We made the suggestion earlier today to get outside and watch the opening Sunday of NFL if at all possible (btw, we…

Beautiful Close To The Weekend…Canadian high pressure will supply plentiful sunshine and pleasantly cool temperatures as we close out the weekend.  Even though today is the first Sunday to the NFL season, we’d suggest finding a way to watch your favorite game outside.

Lots of sunshine and mild temperatures continue Monday.

Mid Week Heavy Rain And Storms…A warm front will move north through central Indiana Tuesday and supply an increasingly humid feel to our air mass.  As the warm front lifts north, a couple showers or isolated thunderstorms will be possible Tuesday afternoon/ evening.  Most communities should remain rain-free, however.

Much better chances of showers and thunderstorms will arrive Wednesday as an area of low pressure and associated strong cold front impact the state.  Some of the storms could reach severe levels and locally heavy rainfall is also a good bet.  Stay tuned.

Bring Out The Jackets…A big push of unseasonably chilly air will blow into town as we wrap up the work week and head into next weekend. Well below normal temperatures will combine with sunny skies to create a classic fall weekend.  May not be a bad idea to plan on a pot of chili at some point next weekend… Just sayin’!

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ – 2″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

A little rain didn’t dampen the spirit of those in the Zionsville Fall Festival parade Saturday.  Thanks to John Salewicz for the photo!

Craving some truly chilly autumn air? Hang in there for late week. Well below normal temperatures (more like October levels) will blow into town later this week.
