Where We’ve Been And Where We’re Going…

It was a cold winter across the Lower 48, including Indiana:

March has followed suite, month-to-date:  Cold continues for the majority of the upcoming week, but we note moderating late week temperatures.

It’s been dry as of late, but after a snowy winter, the region is doing just fine from a drought perspective.  We note abnormally dry conditions west:

Latest CFSv2 data points to a wet spring ahead.  We also note the latest European weeklies suggesting a potentially “busy” 1st half of April, including a couple of “bowling ball” systems of note.  With the changing seasons, it’s not unusual to see big spring cut off lows slowly moving through portions of the country.

Note the GFS (7-day) and Canadian (10-day) precipitation forecast:

We also are still forecasting light snow Tuesday.  Most of this won’t accumulate with the high sun angle and low snowfall rates, but a brief coating to less than an inch is possible in spots:

Forecast Updated 03.21.14 @ 7:50a

Warm Front Passes. . .A warm front lifted north through the state during the wee morning hours. This sparked a couple light showers (snow burst across northern portions of the state), but wasn’t a big deal and a very nice Friday is on tap.  We’ll note a strong and gusty southwest breeze in play that will help send temperatures into the lower to middle 60s for afternoon highs along with partly cloudy skies.

Here Comes The Cold. . .Just as quick as the warm front passes a cold front will swing through the region and put an abrupt end to the spring tease.  Unfortunately, temperatures will slide the wrong direction over the weekend along with strong and gusty northwest winds.  This front may be accompanied by a couple light showers late tonight into early Saturday.

Tuesday Snow Maker. . .After a cold, but dry open to the work week, a disturbance will cross the Ohio Valley Tuesday and provide just enough moisture to combine with the cold air in place to result in the likelihood of light snow around these parts Tuesday.  We’re not thinking much in the way of accumulation will occur as overall snowfall rates will be relatively light, but we do note some localized light accumulations are possible. Otherwise, expect a mostly cloudy and “ridiculously” cold day.

Moderating. . .Indications are that we’ll begin to enjoy the return of southwest (milder) breezes in here by the end of next week.  As such, temperatures will begin to moderate and perhaps “inch” above the 50 degree mark by next Thursday.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ – 0.25″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Less than 1″

Forecast Updated 03.18.14 @ 7:57a

Nice Tuesday. . .Clouds hung tough Monday, but we finally got into sunshine during the afternoon which led to a very pleasant, albeit chilly, Monday evening.  Thankfully, the sunny close to Monday was a precursor to what we can expect Tuesday- mostly sunny to partly cloudy.  We’ll note a big improvement in the temperature department (after another cold start), courtesy of an increasingly strong south wind through the day.

Windy Wednesday. . .A cold front will race through the region Wednesday morning and will be accompanied by a band of showers and embedded thunder.  We think the majority of the rain falls during the predawn/ early morning hours Wednesday and most of the daylight hours will be dry, colder, and very windy.  A tightly wound low pressure system will roar through the Great Lakes region Wednesday and be responsible for producing strong and gusty winds, including gusts upwards of 40 MPH during the day Wednesday.

Thursday will be an “in between” day that will include dry skies and moderating temperatures.

Another Fast Moving Storm System. . .Yet another frontal boundary will blow through the region late Friday night and Saturday morning.  Before hand, a warm front will lift north through the region Friday morning and could help spark a scattered shower as it lifts north.  That said, most of the day will be dry and include an increasing south wind that will assist in shooting temperatures into the lower to middle 60s Friday afternoon.  Clouds will once again increase Friday night and lead to showers Friday night into Saturday morning.

Turning Colder Over The Weekend. . .A colder air mass will pour into the region for the upcoming weekend as north winds blow yet again.  This will send temperatures to well below normal levels.  In fact, temperatures will likely fall through the day Saturday, and Sunday will be another blustery, cold day.

As we look ahead to early next week, there will be a system that will warrant our attention for possible rain and/ or snow, but it’s far too early to be specific with this event.  Just know that we’ll keep our eye on things.  Regardless, conditions will be much colder than normal to put a wrap on March… Hang in there, spring has to arrive eventually, correct?
