Additional showers will rotate through central Indiana during the overnight, followed by a colder mid week stretch. All eyes remain on the weekend for an impactful winter weather event across…

1.) It’s nice to see the sun for once. While we’ll still have mid and high level cloudiness to deal with later today, we’ll gladly take what we can get of the good ole vitamin D this time of the year!
2.) Rain over the Thursday-Friday period followed along very closely to what modeling suggested. Heaviest rains fell central and south.
3.) A cold front will move through Monday evening with a few showers, gusty winds, and set up a cold week, overall.
4.) In the long range, we continue to really like the looks of things from a winter weather lover’s point of view. Undercutting jet supplying storm potential, arctic intrusion, and a blocky look… Details will have to be sorted through as time draws closer, but from this perspective, the pattern continues to look like it’s heading towards one capable of widespread colder than normal air and winter storm potential Christmas week.

A wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain continues to advance slowly northeast this morning. Thankfully, most of the rush hour should be over by the time any of this wintry precipitation arrives and we have a couple things going for us this morning: 1.) Drier air is giving this precipitation a tough time advancing northeast and 2.) by the time the precipitation arrives, temperatures will be marginal for many road problems, if any. By far the more concerning issues are off to the southwest of Indianapolis, including places like Terre Haute (where moderate snow was reported at 9am).
The HRRR slowly pushes the wintry mix along the I-70 corridor this morning.
Attention then turns to a heavy rain event Friday into Saturday morning. Widespread 1-2″ amounts are expected.
Forecast radar shows periods of heavy rain overnight Friday into Saturday morning.
Much more this evening!

We think we’re dealing with another round of light freezing drizzle and a wintry mix for the Thursday morning commute. Plan to allow extra travel time.
Forecast radar Thursday morning suggests freezing drizzle and a light wintry mix is in play across central Indiana.
There’s some longer term data that’s in stark contrast from what a positive PNA should produce (yet alone a strong positive PNA). Typical positive PNA pattern should promote an eastern trough and associated colder than normal pattern as drawn below:
Needless to say, we disagree strongly with the NAEFS and GFS ensembles:
Regardless, the future will tell!

We wanted to touch on a few items of business this evening. There’s a lot of weather going on this week…
Monday will feature drastic changes in the weather department across central Indiana:
Thanksgiving Cold And Snow:
Temperatures will be much colder than average (low to mid 30s for highs and middle 20s for lows). We’re still tracking a weak disturbance that could distribute light snow across central Indiana Thanksgiving Day. Accumulations, if any, would fall in the dusting to less than 1″ range.
Opening December Warm:
We’ve been talking about how this exceptionally cold and wintry early season pattern would have to “relax” at some point and that appears to be the case as we open December. The potential is there for well above normal warmth for the first week to ten days of December before we reload the pattern and introduce colder, more wintry times for mid and late month (anyone dreaming of a White Christmas)?

There’s a lot of weather to discuss over the upcoming 7-10 days, so in no particular order of most or least important, here’s what’s on our mind… 1.) Light freezing…

1.) We posted our weekly outlook last night and this can be found below. An active weather pattern continues. 2.) A cold front will move through the region later this evening. As a result, showers and embedded thunder will be around into the afternoon hours before drier, cooler air builds in tonight behind the front. Forecast radar shows rain and embedded storm chances continuing into the afternoon:
3.) Wednesday looks like the pick of the week with plentiful sunshine and pleasantly cool temperatures. 4.) Rain and storm chances return as early as Thursday into Friday. 5.) Friday stands to be quite an ugly day with rain chances and a new push of unseasonably chilly air. A big thermal fight will be in place Friday as portions of northern Indiana don’t make it out of the 40s while temperatures across far southern areas of the state go into the 70s. More specific to our region, look for falling daytime temperatures starting in the upper 50s.

1.) What exciting news we had the pleasure of sharing earlier this morning. We’re pumped for our partnership with the fine folks over at IndySportsReport.com!
2.) The steering current will keep us on our toes over the coming days as periodic storm clusters threaten. It’s tough to pin point precise timing or location where these storm complexes will track, but it’s safe to say the overall region will be a focal point for additional storminess in the days ahead.
3.) Heat and humidity remain in the oppressive range through late week, before a potential punch of slightly cooler/ drier air. Admittedly, ridges can be difficult to move this time of year and models are struggling in handling the details in the mid range. We’ll keep an eye on things. As of now, we don’t see any sort of major push of cool/ refreshing air through at least the short to mid range period. The Canadian is the most bullish on a period of cooler air as we get into September. Stay tuned.
4.) We’ve made up for lost time in the rainfall department over the past week, or so. What was, initially, a bone dry August has improved. We’re now only running a little more than three tenths behind where we should be, officially.

The combination of passing storms and the setting sun Tuesday evening provided sun incredible rainbows. Thanks to John Feister for sharing this photo taken near Whitestown. John Salewicz snapped this…
