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.

Highs today will reach the lower 70s.

Highs today will reach the lower 70s.

Dew points will climb into the lower 60s by evening.

Dew points will climb into the lower 60s by evening.

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.

Wet Day On Tap…

Screen Shot 2016-03-24 at 9.00.42 AMHighlights:

  • Showers and t-storms
  • Chilly Good Friday
  • Tricky Easter Forecast

Showers And Embedded Thunder Today…Showers and thunderstorms will be with us for the majority of the late morning and afternoon hours before a cold front sweeps through the state tonight and sets up a dry, but much colder time of things for Good Friday.  Locally heavy downpours are a good bet today, including some 1″+ totals across central parts of the state.

The first half of the Easter weekend is looking very nice.  Certainly of the two days, we’d recommend getting that Easter Egg Hunt in on Saturday as clouds will increase Easter Sunday and give way to late day rain.  Modeling isn’t in agreement on the timing of rain Easter, but we’re siding more with the GFS approach for now (earlier arrival when compared to the European).  Stay tuned as we fine tune ;-).

Our “topsy turvy” weather pattern will continue into next week, but we still eye a significant cold front and associated MUCH colder air mass during the first (10) days of April…
