More Heavy Rain To Go Before Weekend Clearing…

Screen Shot 2015-06-25 at 7.53.15 AMHighlights:

  • Couple round of storms today
  • Heavy rain; flood threat Friday afternoon into early Saturday
  • Much cooler and drier this weekend

The morning is off to a wet start, including some embedded thunder and while we anticipate a break in the rain from late morning into the afternoon, additional thunderstorm development is possible by evening.  A slight risk of severe storms is in place across the southern half of the state.

Low pressure will move this way Friday and strengthen as it tracks into the eastern Lakes region.  This will spell very wet times around these parts from the second half of Friday into the wee morning hours Saturday.  Much cooler air and windy conditions will push into central IN Saturday on the backside of the low pressure system.  Before we enjoy those cooler conditions, heavy downpours are likely Friday afternoon into Friday night, including the potential of localized flooding.  If you live near a creek or stream, be sure to have your flood plan in place should rapid water rise occur.

As mentioned above, we’ll dry out rather rapidly Saturday afternoon and this will be followed by a beautiful Sunday.  How many times can we say late June starts in the lower to middle 50s, no humidity, lots of sunshine, and highs in the upper 70s?! 🙂

We’re back to scattered shower and thunderstorm chances early next week, with continued cooler than average temperatures.

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.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″ – 1.5″

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.
