Mainly Dry Weekend; Stormy Weather Returns Next Week…

Highlights:

  • Mostly dry this weekend
  • Unsettled next week
  • Locally heavy rain

Classic Summertime Weather…While we’ll deal with some clouds from time to time today, most of the region will remain rain-free.  Best chances of seeing a passing shower will be across the southern half of the state.  Sunday will feature partly cloudy and seasonable conditions.  It’ll be a great day to be outdoors!

Unsettled conditions will return next week, including Independence Day.  Storm coverage will be most widespread during the afternoon and evening hours in this “rinse and repeat” pattern through late week.  That said, each day will offer up many more dry hours than stormy.  Just have a “plan B” in mind when those passing storms arrive.

Looking ahead, we may inject a drier and slightly cooler regime next weekend…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall:  1.50″ – 2.00″

Thursday Morning Rambles…

1.)  Temperatures are running much warmer across the Mid West and Ohio Valley this morning.  In most cases, communities are 15° to 20° ahead of this time 24 hours ago.  Ah, the fall-like feel was nice while we had it!

2.)  With the increasing warmth and humidity will also come an increase in shower and thunderstorm chances today through Saturday.  Most widespread coverage of thunderstorms should occur during the evening hours today and Friday night into Saturday morning.  Drier air will try and work in Saturday afternoon into Sunday.  Here’s a look at the forecast radar valid at 7p this evening.

3.)  While we should dry things out Saturday afternoon into Sunday, active times will return early next week.  We’ll have to fine tune timing, but the period Monday into Independence Day may feature a rather strong storm complex moving in a southeast fashion across the region.  Again, details still have to be determined.  While strong storms are possible at some point during the period, more dry time than wet can be expected.

4.)  The latest JMA Weeklies are in and while we’ll have a more extensive post this evening on the weekly breakdown, the screaming message to us is an active period continues along with cooler anomalies setting up shop across the central, including our region.

Muggy Air (And Storm Chances) Returns…

Highlights:

  • One more pleasant day
  • Humidity increases
  • Storm chances return

Unsettled Weather Looms…We’ve got one more pleasant day to enjoy, but take advantage of it as changes for a more tropical-feel loom.  With that increasingly warm and moist air, we’ll also see an increase in showers and thunderstorms as we wrap up the week.  While it won’t rain the entire time, a couple rounds of strong-to-severe thunderstorms are possible during the Thursday afternoon-Friday period.

We think we return to drier conditions late weekend into Monday, but this drier theme likely won’t hold through the holiday period.  Scattered showers and thunderstorms return by Independence Day.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 1.00″ -1.50″ (locally heavier totals)

Pleasant Air; Evening Storms For Some…

Highlights:

  • Scattered storms this evening
  • Pleasant air continues for now
  • More humid and stormy by late week

Pleasant Start Ends With Storms For Some…We couldn’t ask for more beautiful weather conditions for the last week of June.  Hopefully you were able to get outside and enjoy these pleasant conditions over the weekend.  If not, you still have a couple days to do so.  Despite the sunny start to the day, enough upper level energy will move overhead this evening to help spark scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Initially these storms will fire over northern Indiana before settling south through the evening.  We think greatest coverage across central parts of the state will arrive between 6p-10p before these storms push south and diminish.  Localized brief heavy downpours are possible, but, overall, this won’t be a significant, widespread heavy rain event.

We’re back to dry and pleasant conditions through Wednesday, but humidity will be on the rise by Thursday and so will shower and thunderstorm chances.  We’ll have to monitor the potential of a couple rounds of gusty storms and heavy rain late week and we’ll have to fine tune timing as we get closer.  Unsettled weather conditions will continue into the holiday weekend ahead.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall:  0.00″
  • Rainfall:  1.50″-2.00″
