Sunshine Returns; Coldest Air Of The Season Awaits…

Highlights:

  • Sunshine returns
  • Coldest air of the season blows into town
  • Wet and cold close to the weekend

Coldest Air Of The Fall On Deck…High pressure is building in and will dominate our midweek weather, including sunshine and unseasonably cool temperatures.  We’ll add a gusty breeze into the mix Thursday afternoon as an early season arctic front approaches.  Once that front passes by Thursday night, a much colder air mass will plunge into the region.  If your travels take you north Friday, snowbelt regions can expect snow showers and embedded squalls as the early season arctic air helps ignite the lake effect machine.  Our first average high of 37° is on December 20th, so we’ll be running well ahead of schedule Friday.  Bundle up!

After a bright and sunny start Saturday, clouds will begin to increase during the afternoon and thicken up overnight as our next storm system approaches.  That storm system will deliver light rain Sunday.  Sunshine returns to kick off the new work week along with slightly below normal temperatures.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.25″ – 0.50″

Unseasonably Chilly Pattern…

Highlights:

  • Sunshine works in today
  • Weak weather maker Tuesday
  • Chilly pattern turns downright cold to close the week

Have The Jackets And Coats Handy…After a rough Sunday filled with flooding and severe weather, we’re opening the work week on a much quieter, albeit much colder, note!  An overcast start to the day should gradually give way to increasing afternoon sunshine.  We’ve already experienced our high for the day (at midnight) and temperatures for most will remain in the 40s today, coupled with a brisk north breeze.

Our next weather maker will pass to our south Tuesday and this could spread a light shower as far north as central Indiana early Tuesday morning.  Better rain chances will remain across southern portions of the state, but even here rainfall amounts will remain light.

Dry, unseasonably chilly conditions will prevail for midweek before a stronger blast of chill pushes in to close the week.  This air mass will be of arctic origin and deliver the coldest temperatures so far this autumn.  A hard freeze is expected Friday and Saturday mornings.  Moisture will return over the weekend with light rain possible Saturday night into Sunday.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.10″ – 0.30″

Severe Weather Sunday; Much Colder Next Week…

Highlights:

  • Clouds more bark than bite today
  • Stormy setup Sunday
  • Trending colder next week

All Eyes On Sunday…The cold front that passed through the region Thursday night and setup the gorgeous close to the work week is lifting back north this morning as a warm front.  This will result in overcast conditions today, areas of sprinkles or drizzle later in the day, and rising nighttime temperatures.  Scattered thunderstorms will develop across central Indiana late tonight with a warmer and increasingly moist environment.

Sunday will certainly be a day to remain weather-aware.  The overall setup hasn’t changed from what was discussed yesterday with a warm and moist southwesterly air flow in place ahead of an approaching cold front and associated area of low pressure.  Additional ingredients in play suggest we need to monitor the threat of large hail, damaging straight line winds, and potentially tornadoes.  Individual storms (potential super cells) are expected to fire across central and northern portions of the state Sunday afternoon into early evening.  These will be capable of quickly pulsing to severe levels and include potential of large hail, as well as tornadoes (particularly in the vicinity of the warm front which is expected to be draped across north-central parts of the state).  Individual cells are anticipated to “morph” into a squall line Sunday evening, including potential of a quick spin-up tornado, as well as damaging straight line winds.  With a moisture-rich air mass in place (precipitable water values are expected to approach 2″ Sunday evening), locally heavy rainfall is also expected.

All of our “excitement” will come to an end overnight Sunday and we’ll trend much colder (and calmer) during the new work week ahead.  Our next storm system will pass by to our south Tuesday, but may be close enough to spark a light shower across central portions of the state.  Drier and colder conditions build in later in the week.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 1.50″ – 2.50″
