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.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2″ – 2.5″

Humid, Stormy Times Continue; Watching The Tropics…

Screen Shot 2015-06-15 at 7.39.21 AMHighlights: 

  • Humid feel continues
  • Strong to severe storms possible Tuesday
  • Watching tropical remnants closely

We’re waking up to similar weather conditions that we dealt with to close the weekend- scattered heavy downpours and very humid. It certainly won’t rain the entire day, but scattered storms will bubble up again as we progress into the afternoon and evening.  With the humid air mass locked in, any shower or storm that develops will produce torrential downpours.

A frontal boundary will slip into the region tomorrow and provide enough lift to present a strong to severe thunderstorm threat Tuesday.  We’ll continue to keep a close eye on things.  This front will stall out near the area and serve as a focal point for thunderstorm development through the upcoming few days.

The tropics continue to be of interest later this week, but we stress that forecast models are really struggling with handling the details.  Solutions range from a flood threat presented by the European and Canadian; however the GFS would suggest the tropical remnants don’t get involved in our pattern.  We’re leaning more towards the Euro/ Canadian blend as of now as we feel the SE ridge will help steer the tropical remnants northeast into the Ohio Valley late week (timing may have to be find tuned as we draw closer).  Again, stay tuned.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 2″ – 3″ (locally heavier totals)

Today Is The Pick Of The Week; Wet And Stormy Pattern Looms…

Screen Shot 2015-06-13 at 9.02.37 AMHighlights:

  • Best weather of the week is today
  • Strong to severe storm potential Sunday and Monday
  • Widespread heavy rain threat mid week
  • Unsettled pattern continues

We’re opening the weekend with dry skies across central IN, along with a very tropical feel.  The combination of a nearby weak boundary and the humid air mass will help fuel isolated to widely scattered storms this afternoon.  That said, overall coverage of storms will be reduced from what we saw Friday.  Most of the day will feature dry conditions.

We’ll begin to increase storm chances as we rumble into the second half of the weekend and on into the new work week.  Some of these may be strong to severe Sunday-Monday, including strong damaging winds and large hail.

Attention will then shift to mid week and the potential of an excessive rainfall event.  Modeling is leaning towards tracking a tropical disturbance north out of the western GOM (Gulf of Mexico) before shifting northeast around the periphery of a southeastern ridge.  Very heavy rainfall would result if this idea pans out.  Stay tuned.

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Potential: 2″-4″ (locally heavier totals)
