Custom IndyWx.com Forecast Updated 04.17.14 @ 7:57a

Wednesday was a step in the right direction.  After a frigid start to the day, temperatures responded to that powerful mid-April sun.  We’ll continue to climb today with partly cloudy skies and winds backing around to the southwest.  

The southwest flow will aid in moisture transport north. We’ll increase our cloud cover this evening and add scattered showers into your forecast Friday morning. Most rain should fall during the morning hours with diminishing showers during the afternoon and clearing taking place Friday night.  All in all, Friday’s rain maker won’t be a big deal.

This will set the stage for a beautiful weekend, including lower to middle 60s Saturday and near 70 Easter Sunday. Sunshine will dominate both days!  Simply perfect weather for those Easter Egg hunts, but you may need a jacket during Easter Sunrise services.

Our next storm system approaches Monday and will result in a period of steady rains and an embedded rumble or two of thunder.

We’ll quickly dry things out again next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″ – 0.75″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Lake-Driven APRIL Snow Showers…

Hard to believe we were in the 70s just passed the midnight hour Monday morning.  Feels like temperatures are now in the teens with snow showers and embedded heavier squalls across central Indiana- some of which have resulted in periodic slick travel conditions.

Note the lake Michigan connection to the snow “streamers” with that famous northwest to southeast orientation in this morning’s visible satellite image.

Highs today will struggle to reach 40 in many locations with wind chills in the teens and 20s.  A hard freeze is on tap tonight as all go into the middle to upper 20s.

Slow moderation will begin Wednesday…

From 76 Today To Snow Monday Night…

Today will be a beauty of a day- partly to mostly cloudy, windy, and warm.  We’re forecasting an official IND high of 76.  Clouds thicken this evening and showers and…

Custom IndyWx.com Forecast Updated 04.12.14 @ 8:16a

Warm Spring Weekend. . .After a chilly start to your Saturday, temperatures will quickly warm on a developing southerly breeze and that powerful April sunshine.  We note that moisture will begin to increase through the afternoon and evening hours and this may help trigger a widely scattered shower.  That said, the majority of neighborhoods will remain dry and rain-free today.  Enjoy what will be a beautiful spring day!

Strong southwest winds will howl Sunday, but the majority of the day will be dry and include a partly to mostly cloudy sky.  A passing shower is possible during the day, but, similar to Saturday, most will remain rain-free.  Better rain and storm chances will arrive late Sunday night into Monday.

Cold Frontal Passage. . .A cold front will move through the region Monday.  Ahead of this boundary, widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms will rumble through the area late Sunday night into Monday.  Today’s model data has trended downward on rainfall numbers and our forecast will follow suit.  We forecast anywhere from one half to three quarters of an inch of rain with this system.

Colder Air Moving In. . .A much colder air mass will pour in on a gusty northwest breeze Monday evening and Tuesday.  Temperatures will run close to 20 degrees below normal Tuesday and a hard freeze is ahead for Wednesday morning.

Moderating Back To Seasonal Levels. . .Temperatures will quickly begin to moderate by mid to late week as we get back into a milder southwesterly air flow.  We’ll introduce shower chances back into your forecast next Friday as the next weather system draws closer to our region.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.75-1″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″
