Weekly Highlights: Action Out West…

Highlights10051011There’s a whole slew of new products we’re going to start rolling out over the next several weeks, including more videos, as well. One of the new features is a nationwide weekly highlight map, helping showcase the big-ticket weather items that have our attention over the upcoming week. While we could side with going with fancy graphics, we chose to go the route of a hand drawn map for old time sakes. 🙂 This will be posted on Sunday or Monday of each week.

1.)  The upper low associated with the catastrophic flooding in SC will continue to slowly pull away from the area as we progress into Tuesday.  Our thoughts and prayers remain with the fine folks of South Carolina as recovery and clean up begins.  Hard to believe areas of SC were in a significant drought as soon as last week.  Those exact same areas have received as much as 25″-30″ of rain over the past 72 hours.  Simply amazing stuff.

2.)  A series of storm systems will clip the Pacific Northwest with heavy rain and wind as the week progresses- particularly mid week into the weekend.

3.)  A storm system and significant moisture will move through the Four Corners region and into western Texas Wednesday into the weekend.  Heavy rain and localized flooding will result.

4.)  A cold front will move through the Mid West later this week with showers and embedded thunder, along with cooler air for the weekend.

As always, you can follow us on Twitter (@indywx) or e-mail us at bill@indywx.com for more on the variety of weather consulting we provide. Have a great day and God Bless!

Cold, Raw Saturday; Sunday Rebound…

Screen Shot 2015-10-02 at 10.24.21 PMHighlights:

  • Windy, wet, and cold Saturday
  • Much better Sunday
  • Pleasant week upcoming

A widespread area of light to moderate rain encompasses central IN as we type this.  It’s a chilly night across the region with temperatures around 50 and northeast winds gusting over 30 MPH.    Unfortunately, we don’t have better news Saturday as winds remain strong and gusty and another push of moisture arrives from the east Saturday afternoon.  Rain amounts won’t be significant, but serve as a great big nuisance when you factor in all of the elements (rain, wind, and unseasonably cool air).  Jackets, coats, and sweaters will be required Saturday.

Thankfully, we’ll salvage a much better second half of the weekend as drier (and warmer) air arrives on the scene.  The other bit of good news?  Significantly diminished winds.

Much of the upcoming work week will provide dry and pleasant weather across the area- perfect for #Harvest15!  Enjoy!

Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10-0.25″

Wind And Cool Air The Big Story Here…

Screen Shot 2015-10-01 at 10.22.27 PMHighlights:

  • Clouds and wind increases Friday
  • Windy, chilly, showery Saturday
  • Brighter days ahead with warmer temperatures

Hurricane Joaquin remains at the top of many weather headlines, and rightfully so.  Currently a category 4 hurricane, Joaquin is nearly stationary in the Bahamas this evening and presenting problems on many fronts (storm surge, wind, flooding).  Eventually Joaquin will make a northward turn and begin to pick up momentum Friday night and Saturday.  Today’s model guidance remains firm on the idea Joaquin will remain off shore from the US mainland, but we’ll need to continue to keep a close eye on things.

Here on the home front, the combination of the high to our northeast and upper low across the southeast will really serve to tighten the pressure gradient and result in strong east and northeast winds as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.  Gusts of 30-40 MPH will be a good bet.

Clouds will be on the increase Friday with the possibility of PM showers- particularly east and southeast.  It’ll be a cool day, but nothing compared to Saturday.  Expect better coverage of showers Saturday, continued gusty winds, and even cooler air.

Brighter (and warmer) times will begin to return to wrap up the weekend and head into next week.

Upcoming 7-day Rainfall Forecast: 0.10″ (NW) – 0.50″ (SE)
