I apologize for a lack of posts this weekend, as it’s been a very busy one. Look for an indepth forecast update later this evening. In the meantime, enjoy the…

Stormy Night Ahead For Some…Most of today will feature plentiful sunshine and warm southwest breezes.  While we’ll enjoy a mostly dry day time, storms will ignite to our north and a couple of these could reach severe levels across northern Indiana later this evening.  These storms will sink south into central Indiana during the late evening/ overnight period.  While a strong to severe storm is possible across central Indiana, the overall trend will be a weakening one as the storms shift south.

We’ll maintain a mention of a shower Sunday (most of the day will remain dry), otherwise look for a cooler day as winds shift to the north behind our cold front.

Cool Start; Warm Finish…The work week will get off to an unseasonably cool start as highs only reach the middle 60s Monday. The week ahead will be another dry one and temperatures will slowly rebound through the week, as well.  Highs by Friday will reach the 80 degree mark, or above, for many.

Speaking longer term, the overall October pattern is one that looks warmer than normal to us here at IndyWx.com, but more on that in the days ahead.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

• 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.25″ – 0.50″
• 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

While storms will likely be in a weakened state dropping into central Indiana, a couple strong storms are still possible late tonight.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of the region under a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms Monday. More specifically, we’re targeting Monday evening into the overnight for severe potential.…

More Dry Hours Than Stormy…It’s hard to believe the long Labor Day holiday weekend is upon us.  The unofficial end to summer (by the way, meteorological fall runs September through November) will wrap up on an unseasonably warm note.  Southwesterly breezes will blow and transport plenty of warm and humid air northbound.  Needless to say, It’ll feel unseasonably warm and humid and scattered thunderstorms will be around.  High moisture content will help promote localized heavy downpours. That said, we’re certainly not looking at any sort of all day washouts by any stretch of the imagination.  Get outside and enjoy the late summer warmth, but just be prepared in case a shower or storm briefly blows overhead.

Better Rain And Storm Chances…Best rain chances in the above forecast period will arrive Monday evening into Tuesday. This is when we anticipate most widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms, including the potential of a couple stronger storms and locally heavy downpours.  Slightly less humid air will work into the picture by mid week.

Remaining Above Normal…Rain chances can’t be totally eliminated from your forecast late next week, but overall coverage will likely be diminished when compared to Tuesday.  It’ll remain warmer than average with mid to upper 80s in the forecast (normal highs are around 80 this time of year) with a southeastern ridge in place.  In fact, many thermometers may crack the 90 degree mark next Friday.  We’re making up for lost time in the heat department…

Another slug of moisture will impact central Indiana Saturday. Not everyone will get wet and no all day rains are forecast, but there will be some periodic wet times.
