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″

The Weekend Is Here!

After a few clouds this morning, we’re looking at increasing sunshine as we progress through the day.  Simulated satellite shows this well.

Thankfully, this is a sign of things to come and a very nice (and warm) weekend is on tap!

High pressure will build in through the day, helping skies turn increasingly sunny.  A north breeze will keep temperatures cooler today than yesterday’s official downtown high of 74.

3

Most of Saturday will be dry and feature partly cloudy skies, but clouds will develop and a widely scattered shower will be possible during the afternoon and evening as moisture begins to increase.  Most will stay dry Saturday, however.

4

Sunday will be a windy and warm day, but with partly cloudy and dry conditions for the better part of the day.  Heavier rain and strong storms will develop to our west Sunday, but it’s really not until Sunday night into Monday when our immediate region will deal with this rainy and stormy weather.

  • Friday: Increasing sunshine; 65
  • Saturday: Partly cloudy; widely scattered PM shower; 43/ 71
  • Sunday: Partly cloudy and windy; developing nighttime rain/storms; 59/ 73

Custom IndyWx.com Forecast Updated 04.09.14 @ 6:26p

Making The Push For 70. . .Thursday should be our first 70 degree day of 2014.  While clouds will be on the increase through the afternoon, we should enjoy enough of a southwest breeze and sunshine early in the day to allow temperatures to reach the 70 degree mark for afternoon highs.

We do note a frontal boundary that will move through the region Thursday evening, and this will be capable of producing a round of quick-hitting showers and a possible rumble of thunder.  Rainfall amounts will be light.  We think drier air will allow for increasing amounts of sunshine as we go through your Friday.

Warm, Mostly Pleasant Weekend. . .Most of Saturday will be rain free, but we’ll introduce the threat of a scattered shower Saturday afternoon as moisture begins to return.  Similar to that of Thursday, we’ll make yet another push at the 70 degree mark before clouds and rain chances begin to put a lid on the temperature climb.

While Sunday will feature better rain chances, it won’t be a wash out by any stretch of the imagination.  We certainly don’t recommend canceling any outdoor activities this weekend; just keep the umbrella handy should you have to dodge a thundershower.

Better Rain; Storm Chances. . .Rain and thunderstorm chances will begin to ramp up as we go into Sunday night into Monday.  Modeling continues to struggle in terms of the precise details of our early week events, but we’re confident on a round of rain and potential gusty thunderstorms before a cooler surge of air invades Monday night and Tuesday.  Stay tuned as we’ll have a good deal of fine tuning to do for the Sunday night-Monday night forecast.

Custom IndyWx.com Forecast Updated 04.09.14 @ 8:31a

Sunshine Returns; Warming Up. . .Instability-driven thundershowers developed Tuesday afternoon across central Indiana and even produced small hail in a few locations, especially east of the city.  Thankfully though the sunshine we experienced Tuesday evening is a sign of things to come for the mid week stretch.  We forecast a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky both today and Thursday, along with moderating temperatures.

A strong southwest breeze will help usher in potentially the first 70 degree day of the year Thursday.  We also note winds may gust upwards of 30 MPH (especially in the open country) Thursday afternoon.

Late Week Front. . .A cold front will move through the region during the day Friday.  Latest model data suggests a little more moisture will be available than we thought earlier this week and as a result we’ll hit the shower and potential thundershower chance a little harder Friday.  Anywhere from 0.25-0.50 of rain will be possible with this system as it moves through the area.

Watching The Weekend. . .While Friday’s front will only make it so far south, we’re still thinking Saturday will be rain-free for the majority of central Indiana.  We’ll note the threat of a shower down state and keep a close eye on things, but for now we’ll keep Saturday’s forecast dry and warm.  Get out there and enjoy a beautiful day!

Our next storm system will take aim on the region Sunday.  As such, clouds will increase and shower and thunderstorm chances will be on the rise as we go through the day.  We do note a rather large range in model forecast temperatures Sunday between the middle 70s per the European data to the lower 60s per the GFS.  For now, we’ll split the difference and forecast upper 60s Sunday with increasing rain chances as we progress through the day.  Stay tuned.

Brief, But Potent Blast Of Winter Chill. . .Another significant rain maker will blow through the region Sunday night into Monday.  At this early stage in the game, there’s a rather high probability of moderate to heavy rainfall (greater than 1″), but the bigger story will likely be the blast of winter-like chill that will invade next Monday night into Tuesday.  In fact, there may be just enough moisture lingering to result in some light snow or flurries Tuesday as the cold air pours in.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1″ – 1.5″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Forecast Updated 03.20.14 @ 7:45a

Sunshine Returns. . .After a cloudy and windy Wednesday, it’ll be great to see the sun today!  With that March sun, temperatures will recover from another very cold start- we should climb into the lower 50s this afternoon.

Early Warm Front. . .A warm front will lift north through the region early Friday morning and could spark a light shower as it moves through the area.  Otherwise, sunshine should return Friday with a gusty southwest wind helping temperatures zoom into the lower to middle 60s across central Indiana.

Back To The Cold. . .A cold front will sweep the state Saturday morning and could result in a light shower or two as it passes.  This won’t be a big deal and the bigger story will actually be the return of cold/ windy weather.

Though we’ll enjoy more in the way of sunshine Sunday as compared to Saturday, temperatures will be colder as yet another arctic high settles over the region.

Light Snow Maker. . .Some upper level energy will cross the Ohio Valley Tuesday and provide just enough moisture to go along with our cold air to result in some light snow Tuesday.  We’re not thinking much in the way of accumulation, but a few areas could see some light snowfall Tuesday and we’ll continue to monitor this.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

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

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?

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast
