Hello Sunshine; Remaining Cool…

Screen Shot 2016-05-15 at 10.31.48 AMHighlights:

  • Sunday sunshine
  • Early week showers
  • Bigger storm for the weekend?

Dry, But Cool…High pressure will supply dry and sunny conditions to wrap up the weekend, along with a cool, crisp feel.

Our next storm system will push into the state late Monday with showers that will likely continue into Tuesday morning, especially downstate.  Heaviest rain totals are expected across southern IN, with the potential of .25″-.50″ across central IN.  We’ll “sure up” those rain numbers in the next 24 hours, or so.

We’ll get back to dry time for mid week, but a potentially bigger storm system looms for the weekend.  Widespread rain looks to build into the Ohio Valley late Friday, continuing Saturday.

Chilly, Blustery Weekend…

Screen Shot 2016-05-13 at 6.04.09 PMHighlights:

  • Band of showers and t-storms arrives late tonight
  • Very cool and blustery weekend
  • Drier pattern developing

Unseasonably Chilly Weekend…A cold front is racing towards the region and will serve up a fresh batch of showers and thunderstorms overnight.  The bigger story will be a gusty NW wind shift and falling temperatures late tonight.  The chill will remain through the weekend with highs well below average and a patchy frost threat in outlying areas Sunday morning.  Most of Sunday will be dry, but a widely scattered shower is possible during the afternoon hours.

The majority of the upcoming work week looks much drier when compared to recent.  We’re watching a significant storm system, but general consensus of forecast model data at this point keeps the majority of significant rains to our south.  We’ll keep a close eye on things.  Slowly moderating temperatures can be expected as we progress through the week.

Scattered Strong Storms This Afternoon For Some…

Screen Shot 2016-05-12 at 7.28.35 AMHighlights:

  • Scattered Showers And Storms
  • Turning Much Cooler
  • Unsettled Early Next Week

Have The Jackets Ready…The first of two cold fronts will sweep through the state this evening and help spark scattered strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening across mostly the eastern half of the state.  A secondary cold front will move through here Friday evening with showers Friday night into early Saturday.  It’s this second front that packs the much cooler air.  Jackets will be required this weekend, and scattered light showers will remain in our forecast Saturday.

As we push into the new work week, things appear to be rather unsettled (what’s new)?  An area of low pressure will push towards the region Tuesday into Wednesday and will increase rain and embedded storm chances.  It won’t rain the entire time, but we’ll want the rain gear handy.

Turning Much Cooler To Close The Week…

Screen Shot 2016-05-10 at 6.52.10 PMHighlights:

  • Warm and humid mid week
  • Turning much cooler for the weekend
  • Unsettled times remain

Jackets Required This Weekend…Wednesday’s coverage of showers and thunderstorms will likely be less than today, but will still require a mention of “scattered” coverage in our forecast.  Some locally heavy downpours are possible, but like today, heavy rain totals won’t be uniform.  Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms will move in early Thursday in association with a cold front.  Once that cold front passes, expect a northwest wind shift and a much cooler feel of things to wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.

A weak disturbance will provide showers late Friday into the early morning hours Saturday, but this won’t amount to significant rain totals.

Cool times remain into early and middle parts of next week, with our next chance of significant rain slated for Tuesday.

Tuesday Morning Rambles…

1.) The month of May has gotten off to a chilly start and given the period of unseasonably chilly air that looms later this week, it’s safe to say these cool anomalies will grow even cooler. 

The coolest day looks to be Saturday with highs only in the mid 50s.


2.) In the shorter term, we’re keeping an eye on strong-severe thunderstorm potential this afternoon and evening across southern and central parts of the state. Large hail and damaging straight line winds are of greatest concern, but a quick spin-up tornado can’t be ruled out.




Not everyone will see heavy rain amounts today, but a few neighborhoods may deal with localized flooding issues as slow moving heavy storms potentially train over communities. Where this happens, 2″+ rain totals are a good bet by midnight.


3.) Forecast models remain in a state of disagreement concerning late this weekend into early next week. The GFS is particularly bullish on the idea of wet (heavy rain threat), chilly times whereas the European is much drier (and warmer). We’ll keep an eye on things and hope for consistency this afternoon. Speaking of this afternoon, we’ll have our updated 7-day posted later today! Make it a great Tuesday.
