Another Round Of Storms This Afternoon…

Heaviest concentration of storms Tuesday was along the I-70 corridor and points south.  We think today coverage of rain and thunderstorms will be more widespread across the state…

We’re off to a cool and quiet start this morning, but think things will turn rather busy yet again as early as the early-mid afternoon hours.  Unsettled conditions will continue through the night.

Latest scans of the HRRR future-cast radar product suggests we need to monitor for high wind potential during the early to mid afternoon hours.  We’ll keep a close eye on this.

2The high resolution NAM future-cast radar is slower, but also shows strong to possibly severe storms into central IN late tonight.

3The current SPC outlook highlights far southwestern IN for the chance of severe weather today. Don’t be surprised if this is expanded northeast with later updates today.

4Rainfall potential today-tonight should feature many neighborhoods accumulating an additional inch, with some locally heavier totals.

Thunderstorms Fire This Afternoon…

Screen Shot 2016-04-26 at 7.57.17 AMHighlights:

  • T-storms develop this afternoon
  • Another round of showers and t-storms push in Wednesday afternoon/ evening
  • Briefly drier Friday
  • New storm delivers a wet weekend

Turning Noisy This Afternoon…It’s a relatively quiet start to the day across central IN, but a cold front will help ignite rather robust shower and thunderstorm development as early as the lunchtime hour.  Storms will grow in intensity and coverage as we progress through the afternoon and evening, especially along I-70 and points south.  Locally heavy rain will be likely.  Stronger storms will be capable of producing hail and damaging winds.

Another round of showers and thunderstorms are on deck Wednesday afternoon and evening.  When all is said and done by Thursday morning, widespread rain totals of 1″ to 1.5″ will be a good bet, with locally heavier amounts.

Friday will feature a beautiful close to the work week with drier air working in and some sunshine.  That said, the sunny skies won’t last as showers and thunderstorms return over the weekend.

Bumpy Ride This Week…

Screen Shot 2016-04-25 at 12.57.17 PMHighlights:

  • Lots of sun through the daytime
  • Storms rumble in late tonight
  • Unsettled mid week pattern
  • New storm delivers rain and wind this weekend

Beautiful Today; Storms Arrive Late Tonight…We couldn’t ask for better weather through the daytime today (despite a gusty SW wind), but chances for rather noisy thunderstorms increase late tonight into the predawn hours Tuesday.  Unsettled conditions remain Tuesday, including scattered thunderstorms especially across the I-70 corridor and points south.  Locally hefty downpours will be possible.

More widespread showers and embedded thunder are on tap Wednesday into Thursday, especially through the morning hours Thursday.  Widespread 1″-1.5″ rain totals are a good bet between now and Thursday morning, with some locally heavier amounts.

We still think we get a briefly drier air mass in here to close the work week, but this won’t last long.  Our next storm system is dialed up for a weekend arrival and will provide a stiff easterly breeze and rain Saturday PM through Sunday.

Beauty Of A Sunday…

Screen Shot 2016-04-24 at 11.14.16 AMHighlights:

  • Sunny close to the weekend
  • Warm and increasingly humid early week with showers
  • Widespread rain and storms Wednesday
  • Significant rain maker to open May

Good Supply Of Vitamin D…High pressure will remain in control of our weather today and supply mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures.  Get outside and enjoy!

Moisture will begin to increase as we progress through the early portions of the work week with showers and scattered thunderstorms developing Monday into Tuesday.  We’ll still enjoy lots of dry time in between the scattered showers.

More widespread showers and thunderstorms will push into the state Wednesday.  Early numbers suggest amounts of 0.75″-1″.  Lingering showers remain Thursday morning, but we should get a nice push of dry air in here Thursday afternoon into Friday.

Attention will then shift to a significant system that promises to provide heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms as early as Saturday night.  We still have time to watch this, but from this distance it appears as if this will be a “juicy” storm system.  We’re also eyeing a much cooler open to May…

This Is More Like It…

Screen Shot 2016-04-11 at 9.51.07 AMHighlights:

  • Wet open to the work week
  • Shot of colder air
  • Extended dry, sunny stretch coming

Good Supply Of Vitamin D Coming…While the work week is opening cloudy, wet, and gloomy, it certainly won’t end that way.  Rain will end from west to east this afternoon.  Before we get into the much deserved pattern change later this week, we’ll deal with one more shot of chilly air arriving tonight and Tuesday with a brisk NW wind.  Sub-freezing temperatures are a good bet for most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Once to Thursday, we’re “off to the races” as far as temperatures go- adding a couple degrees on afternoon highs each afternoon.  Wall-to-wall sunshine will dominate the forecast as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.  Enjoy, friends!
