Forecast Updated 04.05.14 @ 8:40a

Pleasant Weekend On Tap. . .The weekend will provide a well-deserved period to dry out as high pressure builds into the region and supplies increasing sunshine.  After a mostly cloudy start to your Saturday, sunshine will begin to increase later this afternoon.  Sunday will feature mostly sunny skies through the day before clouds increase by evening ahead of our next weather maker Monday.

Heavy Rain Maker. . .We certainly don’t need more rain this soon, but we’ll unfortunately deal with just that Monday, along with a strong easterly wind.  Surface low pressure will lift out of the Gulf Coast region into the Ohio Valley and result in periods of rain through the day Monday before diminishing Tuesday.  Early thinking suggests around 1″ of rain here with this storm system.  Additionally, strong easterly winds will gust over 30 MPH Monday along with chilly, raw conditions.

Milder, Southwesterly Flow. . .Most of Wednesday and Thursday will be dry and warmer with a breezy southwesterly wind.  A weak cold front will slip through here late Thursday with a shower possible.  This particular front will then likely stall out just south of our region before lifting back north as a warm front next weekend.

An early call for next weekend places a rather unsettled pattern over our region, including more of those April showers…

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

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

Forecast Updated 04.02.14 @ 7:30a

Heading Into A Stormy, Wet Period. . .While periods of showers and thunderstorms will be with us through Friday morning, we break things down and focus in on this afternoon/ evening into Thursday morning for the potential of heaviest rainfall.  We then think we experience a bit of a “lull” in the action Thursday afternoon before we ramp things back up and introduce a severe weather component Thursday night into Friday morning.  Renewed heavy rains would also accompany these thunderstorms.  As for the severe risk, really all modes of severe weather are in play, including damaging hail, straight line winds, and even the possibility of a tornado or two.  We’ll continue to closely monitor the ongoing weather situation and suggest you plan to keep abreast of the latest developments in the days ahead in terms of potentially flooding and severe weather.  Severe weather outbreaks are always dangerous, but particularly so at night.

The cold front will sweep the state clean of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms Friday morning and this will set things up for a much quieter, calmer (although windy) close to the week.

When all is said and done, we forecast widespread 2-3″ rainfall through the heart of the state, including central Indiana, along with localized amounts between 3″ and 4″.

Much Needed, Calmer, Weekend. . .High pressure will build over head as we go through the weekend and this will supply a drier, calmer period Saturday and Sunday.  We’ll note a cooler air mass in place, along with a gusty northwest wind Saturday, but winds will calm Sunday, ensuring a pleasant close to the weekend.

Eyeing Our Next Storm. . .Things are still much in the air in regards to the precise details with a new storm system early next week, but we’re confident something’s brewing.  The European data suggests this is another heavy rain event for our neck of the woods Monday, while the GFS is further east, and takes the majority of the moisture up the eastern seaboard.  We’ll continue to monitor things.

One more item of note, mid to long range guidance is in agreement on the return of a below normal temperature pattern here later next week…  In fact, a few wet snow flurries may fly next Tuesday as the cold air pushes back in.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 3″ – 4″

Forecast Updated 03.30.14 @ 9:24a

A Nice Close To The Weekend. . .After a cold, wet, and snowy Saturday, it’ll be nice to have a full day of sunshine as we put a wrap on the weekend.  While we’re getting off to a cold and frosty start, that increasingly powerful late March sun angle will help warm temperatures quickly.

Weak Front. . .A moisture starved front will cross the region late Monday night into early Tuesday.  While a light shower is possible as this front limps through the region, we’re keeping our forecast dry for now.  Regardless, Monday will be a very nice day, despite an increasing southwest breeze.  Tuesday will be equally as nice, just a few degrees cooler.

Big Rains For Mid/ Late Week. . .The Gulf will open up for business in the days ahead and this will keep our neck of the woods rather wet Wednesday through Friday.  Periods of rain will fall Wednesday and Thursday, and temperatures will be cooler thanks to an easterly breeze.  All in all, Wednesday and Thursday will be wet, raw days.  We’ll get into some warmer air ahead of a strong cold front Friday and this will increase thunderstorm chances, including the potential of a  couple strong storms.  We think rainfall totals between Wednesday and Friday could reach between 1.5″ and 2″.

Chilly Weekend. . .A colder air mass will build into the region behind Friday’s front. While sunshine will return Saturday, temperatures will go backwards.  Couple a strong northwest breeze into the mix and Saturday could be a pretty chilly day.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 1.5″ – 2″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: 0.00″

Busy Pattern…

A busy weather pattern will keep us on our toes with two storm systems of note between now and Saturday.

Periods of showers will keep most of today wet.  While it won’t rain the entire time, periods of moderate to heavy showers are possible today.  A quick punch of milder air will arrive this afternoon after a chilly start to the day, combined with a strengthening south wind.  Total rainfall today and tonight should average half an inch, or less.

Highs today will reach the lower 50s, despite the showers.

hires_t2m_max_indy_9

Latest simulated radar data shows the potential of a line of thunderstorms moving through here late tonight, directly associated with the cold front.  A strong storm is possible along with gusty winds as the front slides through early Friday morning.

hires_ref_mw_24hrrr_ref_mc_16

As if all of this wasn’t enough, another storm system will arrive Saturday.  This system will have a wintry component to it, with the chance of a stripe of wet snow along the northern shield of precipitation.  It’ll require our attention as we move forward.  March storms have been known to have a surprise or two and it’s our job to try and help eliminate any of these surprises.

Forecast updated 03.24.14 @ 12:00a

Unseasonably Cold And Tracking Snow. . .It sure won’t feel like late March around these parts to kick off the new work week. Instead, we’ll deal with a biting north wind and temperatures more comparable to January.  Needless to say, certainly plan to grab the coat on the way out the door.

As we move into the evening hours clouds will begin to increase and light snow and scattered snow showers will arrive tonight into Tuesday morning.  This won’t be a big deal and we’re still anticipating little, if any, accumulation for most (perhaps up to half an inch in localized spots).  All the same, for a region that’s been brutally cold and snowy for month on end, this probably won’t be a welcome with “arms wide open” type of forecast.

South Winds Deliver Warmer Air. . .A gusty southwest wind will blow milder air north into the region Thursday. Along with the milder air will come moisture and we forecast showers to develop Thursday with a potential thunderstorm Thursday night into Friday morning as a cold front slides through the region.

Nice Weekend. . .Though Saturday will be colder than normal, sunshine should return for the weekend.  Furthermore, we’ll enjoy a southerly flow of air by Sunday which may help temperatures reach close to 60!

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • 7-Day Rainfall Forecast: 0.50″
  • 7-Day Snowfall Forecast: Less than 1″

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″
