Overall Mild Pattern Not Without Challenges…

I. Areas of light snow and freezing drizzle will continue into the overnight hours and on into Wednesday morning. Watch for slick spots overnight-Wednesday morning.

II. Clouds will finally begin to erode Wednesday night and set us up for plentiful sunshine Thursday.  Along with the increasing sunshine, a southwesterly air flow will develop and assist with providing a new “warming” trend as we close the work week.  Mid-40s are ahead Thursday and lower-50s Friday.  A “big hair warning” is officially in effect Friday as winds gust between 30-40 MPH Friday. 🙂

III. Our next storm system arrives on the scene overnight Friday into Saturday with light rain.

IV. We’re also monitoring the possibility of a “sneaky” snow maker Sunday night into Monday in a fast northwest flow.  Light snow will impact portions of the Ohio Valley, but we’ll have to fine tune things over the next few days with respect to specific track and placement of the swath of accumulating snow.  Stay tuned!

Wet To White (At Times) Through Early Week…

A quick note before we dive into the upcoming forecast pattern.  Instead of issuing 7-day posts within the blog format, the most updated IndyWx.com 7-day forecast will now be featured at the top left of the site.  We’re continuously trying to provide you the information and content you need in a quick and concise manner- eliminating having to “scroll and search” (unless you’re bored, of course ;-))!

Areas of fog and drizzle will continue this evening before a stronger southwesterly air flow pushes the low clouds and fog north during the overnight.  As a cold front draws closer, steadier rains and perhaps even a clap of thunder (especially down state) will arrive Monday morning.  Temperatures will remain nearly steady or even rise overnight into the lower 50s.

The frontal passage, itself, will take place Monday evening and may feature a couple of gusty showers, especially across western and central portions of the state.

Temperatures will grow colder Monday night into Tuesday morning and precipitation will end as snow showers Tuesday.

High pressure will build in through midweek and provide dry conditions with increasing sunshine.  The midweek stretch will begin seasonable before warming ahead of our next storm system.

That next storm system will deliver rain as early as Friday evening into Saturday.  We’ll note an increasingly gusty southwesterly breeze as we wrap up the work week, along with increasing cloudiness.

Milder, But Active…

Highlights:

  • Gloomy close to the weekend
  • Rain-to-snow early week
  • Significant storm next weekend

Drizzle And Fog Develops…Our Saturday opened with plentiful sunshine and milder conditions.  Unfortunately, the low cloud deck invaded through the afternoon hours and will take up residence through Sunday.  Fog and drizzle will develop tonight and continue through most of Sunday.

Steadier rains will arrive on the scene late Sunday night into Monday morning ahead of an approaching cold front.  That cold front will sweep through the state Monday afternoon with additional showers and a dramatic wind shift.  Colder air will then press into the region and as wrap around moisture swings through the state, snow showers will develop Tuesday.

As mentioned in previous posts, we’re in a transient and very active regime.  Just as soon as the colder air arrives for midweek, we’ll shift our air flow around to the southwest and usher in milder times to close the week.  A significant storm system is brewing next weekend.  We’ll forecast increasing cloudiness Saturday with rain arriving by afternoon.  We’ll have to keep tabs on next Sunday for the possibility of wintry conditions returning…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: Dusting
  • Rainfall: 0.50″ to 1.00″
