Wednesday Morning Rambles…
Updated 05.18.22 @ 7:30a
I. Unsettled weather will continue much of the day before exiting off to the east around the evening rush hour. Some embedded stronger storms are possible across southern Indiana (where the SPC also includes in a Slight Risk of severe weather). Otherwise, we’re generally looking at rainfall amounts less than half an inch north of the city and between 0.5” and 1” south of the city.
II. Thursday and Friday (for most of the region) will be dry. Heat and humidity will be the big story as southwesterly winds tap into the Gulf of Mexico ahead of the approaching weekend front. The exception to this may be across northwestern portions of the area where a few severe storms are possible late in the day on Friday. The Storm Prediction Center continues to include this area in a Slight Risk (damaging winds are the biggest concern).
III. Greatest coverage of showers and storms should arrive here Saturday evening into Sunday morning. While a few strong storms are possible, due to the timing in the day, most of these should remain below severe levels.
IV. Cool, refreshing air will settle overhead to close the weekend and by Monday morning we’ll be talking about widespread low-mid 40s. That sure will feel mighty nice after feels like temperatures climb into the 90s Friday.
V. While next week will open on a nice note, wet and active times will return by midweek and signal what very well looks like a wet close to the month of May.

Strong Front This Weekend Delivers Surge Of Heat, Storms, Then Blast Of Unseasonably Cool Air…
Updated 05.17.22 @ 7:26a
While we’ll have to deal with showers and storms Wednesday (could have a couple strong cells across southern Indiana), the big deal of the short-term forecast package centers on a strong cold front that will blow through the area this weekend. Ahead of the front, a brief surge of significant heat and humidity will push into town as we wrap up the work week. Friday looks particularly oppressive as heat and humidity combine to push “feels like” temperatures into the lower 90s for many.
While we’ll have to fine tune timing and deal with the all-important specifics (are we having to deal with cloud cover that could limit instability?) as we get closer, the Storm Prediction Center continues to highlight western and northwestern Indiana in a risk of severe weather Friday. (Most of the storms should impact our state Friday night- still think the majority of the day time will be free of any storms).
As low pressure heads for the Great Lakes and drags a cold front through our region, it wouldn’t surprise me if the SPC hoists an additional risk of severe weather Saturday. Saturday afternoon into predawn Sunday is expected to offer up the most widespread coverage of rain and storms, locally.
Once the front is off to our east, a MUCH different airmass will blow into town, courtesy of a gusty northwest breeze. We’re talking about highs only in the 60s early next week with lows into the 40s. Talk about a breath of fresh air after the heat and humidity to close the week!
Dry weather should prevail Monday before a new system offers up a soaking Tuesday PM into Wednesday.

“Transitional” Is The Theme For Our Temperature Pattern Upcoming 10-14 Days; Precipitation Pattern? Not So Much…
Updated 05.10.22 @ 6:30a
There’s a reason we labeled the midweek pattern as a “taste” of summer. Thankfully, (speaking for most, I believe) we’re not ready to “lock and load” the summer like heat and humidity. In fact, we’ll get some relief from humidity by the latter stages of the work week. By early next week, highs will drop back into the lower 70s and overnight lows will fall into the 40s.
Despite the roller coaster ride the next couple of weeks will likely deliver from a temperature perspective (remember, we have the MJO to deal with again now, too), the pattern, as a whole, looks drier than normal over the upcoming 10-14 days.
While the pattern is likely one to continue featuring wild swings in temperatures to wrap up the month, most of the frontal systems seem like they won’t deliver excessive rainfall amounts from this distance. It should be noted the European data above has plenty of support from its American and Canadian counterparts.
