Category: Unseasonably Warm
Loaded Up…That’s exactly what the weather pattern is over the forecast period above. Before we get into that, how about that snow and sleet Monday?! Snow came down fast and furious Monday afternoon just north of the city and accumulated to the tune of a few inches across a strip of north-central Indiana. Travel was impacted, as well. Ah, spring in Indiana… 🙂
We’ll transition from the wintry times of Monday to thundery downpours later Tuesday and continuing through the mid week period. A couple rounds of rain and thunderstorms can be expected Tuesday. The first of which will arrive late Tuesday morning into the afternoon. This will then be followed by a potentially noisy round of thunderstorms late Tuesday night into the wee morning hours Wednesday. Most of the day Wednesday will feature dry conditions, along with a gusty SW breeze and much warmer conditions. The atmosphere will prime itself for another round of heavy rain and strong to isolated severe thunderstorms Wednesday night into Thursday. A cold front will finally sweep through the region Thursday morning and put an end to the rain and thunder as well as usher in a much colder regime to wrap up the work week.
As mentioned above, cold will be the word as we put a wrap on the week and head into the weekend. In fact, enough moisture and upper level energy may be present to create snow showers Friday. Talk about a harsh reality to Wednesday’s mid 60s. Don’t you love the weather roller coaster this time of year?! Cold remains firmly in place Saturday though with increasing sunshine.
As we look ahead to early next week, a warm front may lift north through the region Sunday afternoon and this could spark a light shower.

An active weather pattern will put the Ohio Valley in for busy times this week. First up is a snow maker that will drop in this afternoon. Snow may even…

Increasing Sunshine…Early clouds and left over light rain will give way to afternoon sunshine Friday. All in all, a nice weekend is on the way! We can expect a sunny, mild, and breezy Saturday, but colder conditions await for the second half of the weekend. A dry cold front will sweep the state Saturday night and usher in a chilly Sunday.
A weak weather maker will scoot across the region Monday with a light rain or light snow shower and reinforcing chilly air.
Looking ahead, a cold front will take aim on the region Wednesday and we may be able to introduce just enough instability to promote an embedded thunderstorm as the boundary sweeps through the state. Cooler, showery weather can be expected Thursday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

Clouds Increase; Light Rain Thursday…The day is off to a much colder start, but also a sunny one. Mid and high level cloudiness will slowly be on the increase as we progress through the day and these clouds will give way to some light rain Thursday. The culprit? An area of low pressure passing to our south. Enough cold air will be in place to create a transition to some wet snow across northeastern portions of the state late Thursday night into early Friday morning.
The area will enjoy a southwesterly air flow and associated milder air mass for the first part of the weekend, but a cold front will pass Saturday night and usher in a colder Sunday.
A fast moving storm system will scoot through central Indiana Monday and team up with the colder air in place to lead to a mixture of cold rain and wet snow. Precipitation amounts will be light with this system. We’re back to a dry, chilly theme Tuesday.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Trace

Cooler, But Dry Pattern…Monday was an absolutely gorgeous day! Unfortunately those picture-perfect conditions won’t last as a dry cold front passes early Tuesday. This will usher in a cooler and breezy St. Patrick’s Day, but nothing too terribly cold. Dry and chilly conditions remain Wednesday.
A southern storm system will draw close enough Thursday to increase our cloud cover along with a sprinkle or light shower. This won’t be a big deal.
The next item of note will be another mostly dry frontal passage Saturday night. Enough southerly flow will be in place Saturday to send temperatures into the lower 60s before the much colder air arrives Saturday night. This will set us up for a cold second half of the weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: Trace to less than 0.10″
- 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

For the first time since October, temperatures will make a push into the lower 70s. That will certainly help if you have a case of the Mondays! A cold…

Sun-filled Couple Days…We’re in position for an absolutely beautiful couple days- complete with lots of sunshine and above normal temperatures! After the frosty start to the morning, temperatures will zoom into the lower 60s this afternoon. We’ll beat that Monday with a push for 70! Enjoy, my friends!
A dry cold front will sweep through the region Monday night and set up a colder mid week period.
A weak weather system may deliver light rain to the region Thursday. We’re not buying the snowy European model solution Thursday for now.
As we move into next weekend, modeling couldn’t disagree more on the outcome. Some solutions are very cold while others are warm. For now we’ll split the difference, leaning a little more towards the cold solution as the trough should strengthen next weekend over the Ohio Valley.

Good morning and happy Friday! A wet day is on tap as moisture streams north from the Gulf of Mexico. Periods of heavy rain will be a good bet, especially…

Great Day Today…Patchy dense fog will give way to sunshine quickly today along with mild temperatures! Be sure to enjoy as clouds will lower and thicken tonight and give way to a soaker of a Friday. We anticipate a wash out Friday, complete with heavy rain from late morning into the afternoon and evening. We may even hear a rumble of thunder Friday evening. The good news here is that models are trending drier for now Saturday. We’ll mention morning rain, but sunshine should increase through the second half of the day. Sunday will be a fantastic day!
A cold front will move through the region Tuesday and could offer up a shower, but most folks should remain dry. Cooler air will filter in here behind the front, but nothing too out of the ordinary for this time of year.
We target later next week for potentially much colder air…

Much Needed Vitamin D…After a cloudy, rainy, and gloomy Tuesday, we’ll welcome the sunshine with open arms today and Thursday. Before we talk about the brighter times ahead, beware of areas of dense fog remaining in place through about the lunch hour. The combination of a wet ground and overnight clearing led to rather widespread dense fog across the region. Eventually, the high March sun angle should lead to increasing sunshine as we progress through the day Wednesday. Thursday will feature lots of sunshine. Both days will be unseasonably mild, though today’s high will be largely dependent on just how soon we clear things out.
Another slug of Gulf of Mexico moisture will move north and impact the region to wrap up the work week. Widespread significant rainfall is a good bet Friday into the first half of Saturday.
The weekend won’t be a total washout as sunshine returns Sunday. Temperatures will remain mild!
Another push of resurgent warmth can be expected Monday as highs zoom into the lower 60s with a southwest flow in place before a dry cold front passes through here Monday night/ Tuesday.
