Strong To Severe Storms By Easter Evening…
Happy Easter! From all of us at IndyWx.com, we wish you a blessed day!
Easter Sunday is off to a beautiful start with lots of sunshine, temperatures in the 40s, and light winds. Unfortunately, things will begin to change in rather significant fashion as early as the evening hours. Beforehand, expect sunshine to help boost temperatures into the lower 70s across many central IN neighborhoods. It’ll turn increasingly moist, as well, as surface dew points jump into the lower 60s.
An approaching area of low pressure and associated cold front will provide just enough spin/ lift, in combination with the warmth and increasingly moist air mass, to ignite storms this evening. Some of these storms will likely reach strong to severe levels. We’re most concerned for the potential of damaging straight line winds and large hail.
High resolution simulated radar data suggests storms ignite around 6p across central IN. We caution that this image should be used as guidance and not taken verbatim.
Have a way to get the latest weather information later this afternoon and evening. Watches or warnings may be required…
The “Ups And Downs” Of Spring…
Highlights:
- Dry, chilly open to the week
- Unsettled mid week
- Watching Easter
Ice Scrapers Needed This Morning…Many Indiana neighborhoods awoke to temperatures in the 20s this morning. Thankfully, that late March sun angle will help boost temperatures quickly today to around 50 for afternoon highs.
A warm front will lift through the region Tuesday and could spark a shower or two, but most will remain dry. We’ll turn briefly milder Tuesday and Wednesday before better coverage of showers and embedded thunder arrive on scene Thursday. This is in association with a cold front that will deliver a quick pop of colder air to close the week, including Good Friday. There’s the chance enough cold air could catch lingering moisture to allow for a few snow showers late Thursday night before we dry things out completely.
As we look ahead to Easter, another storm system will arrive quickly. As such, we’re forced to increase rain chances (and coverage) Easter Sunday.
Longer term, indications continue to point towards a rather rude open to April, including well below normal temperatures.
