Cold, Raw Saturday; Sunday Rebound…

Screen Shot 2015-10-02 at 10.24.21 PMHighlights:

  • Windy, wet, and cold Saturday
  • Much better Sunday
  • Pleasant week upcoming

A widespread area of light to moderate rain encompasses central IN as we type this.  It’s a chilly night across the region with temperatures around 50 and northeast winds gusting over 30 MPH.    Unfortunately, we don’t have better news Saturday as winds remain strong and gusty and another push of moisture arrives from the east Saturday afternoon.  Rain amounts won’t be significant, but serve as a great big nuisance when you factor in all of the elements (rain, wind, and unseasonably cool air).  Jackets, coats, and sweaters will be required Saturday.

Thankfully, we’ll salvage a much better second half of the weekend as drier (and warmer) air arrives on the scene.  The other bit of good news?  Significantly diminished winds.

Much of the upcoming work week will provide dry and pleasant weather across the area- perfect for #Harvest15!  Enjoy!

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10-0.25″

Wind And Cool Air The Big Story Here…

Screen Shot 2015-10-01 at 10.22.27 PMHighlights:

  • Clouds and wind increases Friday
  • Windy, chilly, showery Saturday
  • Brighter days ahead with warmer temperatures

Hurricane Joaquin remains at the top of many weather headlines, and rightfully so.  Currently a category 4 hurricane, Joaquin is nearly stationary in the Bahamas this evening and presenting problems on many fronts (storm surge, wind, flooding).  Eventually Joaquin will make a northward turn and begin to pick up momentum Friday night and Saturday.  Today’s model guidance remains firm on the idea Joaquin will remain off shore from the US mainland, but we’ll need to continue to keep a close eye on things.

Here on the home front, the combination of the high to our northeast and upper low across the southeast will really serve to tighten the pressure gradient and result in strong east and northeast winds as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.  Gusts of 30-40 MPH will be a good bet.

Clouds will be on the increase Friday with the possibility of PM showers- particularly east and southeast.  It’ll be a cool day, but nothing compared to Saturday.  Expect better coverage of showers Saturday, continued gusty winds, and even cooler air.

Brighter (and warmer) times will begin to return to wrap up the weekend and head into next week.

Upcoming 7-day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ (NW) – 0.50″ (SE)
