High pressure will dominate our weather this weekend, allowing for an extended dry, but cool stretch. Sunshine can be expected both today and Sunday and the overall pleasant theme will continue into the early stages of the new work week. Rain and storm return Tuesday and again on Friday of the week ahead. It’s just the beginning of another wet stretch as we close out April and head into May…

The day will start off quiet, but won’t end that way. We’re monitoring the threat of strong to severe storms later this evening, continuing into and through the overnight hours. The good news? All of these will be off to our east prior to heading out the door to work or school Friday morning. Then we can concentrate on a refreshingly cool weekend with sunshine returning.

We couldn’t ask for better weather to kick off the new work week. Plentiful sunshine, temperatures heading for the 80s, and a generally light, variable wind will make it tough to work indoors today. Rain and storm coverage will grow in the coming days…

This morning we’re unveiling a new “hand-crafted” 10-day forecast that will be below the Client video discussion and/ or posts each morning. Enjoy!
Today opens bright and quiet and most of our Masters Sunday will feature calm conditions, locally. The only fly in the ointment will come from a cluster of storms that will erupt across Ohio and make an attempt to back build into at least eastern portions of the state this evening. We’ll keep close eyes on trends. Otherwise, Monday will get back to a return to quiet conditions before an active stretch develops. Eventually, we’ll turn much calmer (and cooler) next weekend into early stages of the following week.

While unseasonably warm air will build in here early next week, don’t put away the cold weather gear just yet. We’re likely even looking at additional frost threats as we get towards late next weekend and/ or early Week 2. More details below in this week’s #AGwx and #Severe Weather Outlook.
“Transitional” is the word to describe the upcoming couple weeks worth of weather around these parts. The warmth to open the period will cool significantly next weekend and early Week 2, only to give way to renewed warming late April.
Note the roller coaster in the temperature anomalies over the next couple of weeks.
The active pattern in the week ahead will dry significantly late in the forecast period as the cooler airmass takes hold.
In the more immediate term, we’re tracking 2 storm systems in the week ahead: Tuesday – Wednesday and again Thursday night into Friday.
The Storm Prediction Center includes western Indiana in a risk of severe weather Tuesday. We’ll monitor for the potential of a further east extension of this risk area.
We think (2) rounds of storms are on deck Tuesday. The first round likely is associated with a warm front lifting north through the state Tuesday morning (hail threat) followed by a second round of activity Tuesday night into Wednesday morning (main concern being damaging straight line winds with this round). As of now, storm total rainfall amounts of 0.50″ to 1″ seem likely during this timeframe.
Another round of showers and embedded thunder will precede a blast of chilly air next weekend. We bracket Thursday night into Friday morning for this particular round of rain. An additional half inch, or so, of rain seems reasonable from this distance.
By the time we get to next weekend and early Week 2, drier and much cooler, more stable air should take up residence.
We note the warm open, chilly finish in the 10-day meteogram. Also note the frost threat at the end of this period.
Upcoming *10-Day Rainfall Projection: 1″ to 1.5″

We’re running a little more than 3° below normal to open the month, but changes are in the offing. The majority of the upcoming 7-day period should feature seasonal to above normal temperatures and that will likely only strengthen into the Week 2 timeframe.
Unfortunately, we have a big rain event set to unfold as we roll through the middle of the week. Rain (more “showery” in nature) will continue as we close out the work week before a gorgeous Saturday.
Our expected active spring will remain intact over the next couple weeks, including an overall above average look in the rainfall department.
In the short-term period, this is highlighted between what falls Wednesday-Friday.
Though severe weather won’t be a concern, heavy rain will during the aforementioned timeframe. We still think widespread 1.5”+ amounts are likely for many area rain gauges. As of now, severe weather isn’t expected, locally, based on the SLP track. Further east into Ohio, a few severe storms will be on the table. We’ll monitor for any last minute west adjustments leading into the system.
Widespread, soaking rains will turn more “showery” in nature Friday before dry air takes firm control and provides a pleasant Saturday.
Don’t get used to the dry weather. Despite the warmer trend, another round of rain and storms can be expected the 2nd half of the weekend into early next week.
Upcoming *10-Day Rainfall Projection: 1.5” to 2.5”
