Tracking Two Fronts This Week…
It’s a quiet and cool start to the work week across central Indiana. In fact, a couple upper 40s are showing up on the morning station plots. It’s getting to be that time of the year… (Feel free to click on the image to enlarge).
Temperatures are running slightly below average, locally, with cooler anomalies across the Northeast.
High pressure will remain entrenched over our region today and supply dry conditions and pleasant humidity levels.
Our next storm system will push in Wednesday and as the cold front sags south through the state, it will spark scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm.
Reinforcing cool air will move in behind the front for a couple days. Lows in the lower-middle 50s with highs in the upper 70s.
As we flip the page to the weekend, it still looks rather damp Saturday as another boundary moves in. This will have more moisture to work with when compared to Wednesday and rain coverage will be more widespread. As a whole, (7) day rainfall totals should be in the 0.50″-1.00″ range for most.

Gorgeous Open To The Week…
Highlights:
- Sun-filled days
- Crisp air
- Midweek showers
- Saturday rain
Fall Feel…Sprawling high pressure will supply a dry open to the week, complete with plentiful sunshine and dry air. Conditions will be beautiful to spend time outdoors- very much like early fall.
Our next weather maker will scoot through the region Wednesday with scattered showers. Once the front blows through, reinforcing cool air will press into the state Wednesday evening. A few reports of upper 40s will be likely away from the city Thursday and Friday morning.
While timing is still a bit up in the air at this distance, Saturday is looking unsettled as another cold front blows through. (Get the idea we’re in an active period)?
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″-1.00″

Tuesday Evening Weather Notebook…
It’s been a cool and dry start to the month of September. Through the first few days, IND is running 0.70° below normal and 0.44″ below average precipitation.
The upper ridge currently in place will deliver more late summer heat through the end of the work week. It’ll remain mostly dry, as well.
Much better rain and storm chances will have to be built into our forecast Friday into Saturday, courtesy of a cold front moving into the region.
A much cooler regime will settle into the region over the weekend. Highs behind the front in the 70s with lows in the 50s will be common- after rain potential of 1″-1.5″ for most.
A reinforcing shot of cool air will arrive the middle of the following week. Early indications suggest the second shot of fall-like air will be even cooler than this weekends’ and could feature widespread 40s at night.

New SST CA Model Weighs In On Winter…
The updated Sea Surface Temperature Constructed Analog model is in for the winter. In short, it suggests a slow start to winter gains momentum and turns much colder as mid and late winter arrive. It’s also a stormy look, locally, and would imply big-hitter potential in the Ohio Valley.
500mb pattern
*Note how the trough becomes more established over the central and east during the January through March period.
Temperature anomalies
The consistency is remarkable on the bullish cold signal for the central and east for the January-March time frame. We note high agreement, month-over-month, on the J-M time frame being significantly cold.
Precipitation anomalies
*No doubt a stormy signal through the Ohio Valley.
Time is ticking…winter will be here before we know it! Our official annual winter outlook will be out in October.
