Refreshing Last Weekend Of July…

Highlights:

  • Wall-to-wall sunshine
  • Comfortable temperatures
  • Rain chances return
  • Even cooler next weekend

Can’t Beat This Weather…The short-term is very simple.  High pressure will dominate our pattern through early next week and result in very refreshing conditions.  With a north-northeast flow in place, unseasonably cool and dry air will continue to flow into the region through the weekend.  Get out and enjoy it!

Temperatures will slowly moderate heading into mid week and moisture will return ahead of a cold front Wednesday into Thursday. Greatest overall rain coverage should arrive on the scene Thursday, including chances of thunderstorms.  Similar to this week, the cold front will pass Thursday night/ Friday morning and result in a drier ending to the work week.  An early look at next weekend shows another anomalous trough digging into the Mid West.  The end result will likely be temperatures that are even cooler than this weekend.  Mid-upper 70s for highs, perhaps?!

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall:  0.50″ – 1.00″

JMA Weeklies: Hottest Of The Summer Is Behind Us…

The new JMA Weeklies are in and highlighted by the following:

  • An unseasonably cool close to July
  • Worst of the summer heat is behind us
  • Warmest anomalies along the East and West Coasts

Week 1:

A trough will sink into the central and eastern portions of the country and result in rather widespread below normal and quite refreshing conditions as we close the month of July.  Along with the cool, dry air will come an extended stretch of rain-free conditions through the latter portions of next week.

Week 2:

The JMA suggests the mean trough position will remain across the central portions of the country with signals of ridging developing along the Northwest coast.  Cool, wet weather (compared to average) is forecast central as the heat continues across the West.  We also note developing warmth across the Northeast region.

Weeks 3-4:

Seasonal temperatures are set to unfold across the central late August with warmest anomalies painting themselves across the Northeast and Northwest portions of the country.  The pattern, locally, is set to become more active from a precipitation perspective as wet conditions return.

Heavy Rain And Storms Thursday; Phenomenal Weekend Ahead…

Highlights:

  • Turning more humid this afternoon
  • Heavy rain Thursday
  • Cooler and drier weekend ahead

Heavy Rain Tomorrow…Wednesday is getting off to a pleasant and beautiful start across the Hoosier state.  Sunshine will be with us throughout the day, but our pleasant air mass that we’re awaking to will grow increasingly moist this afternoon and evening.  Our next storm system approaches late tonight and will help push widespread rain and thunderstorms across the state early Thursday morning.  With such high water content in our air mass, expect periods of heavy rain across the region.  Localized flooding will result.

The trade off to the wet and stormy Thursday will be an incredible weekend.  Despite a few lingering showers Friday, we’ll notice a dramatic drop in humidity Friday night and this will set the stage for a refreshing last weekend of July.  In fact, temperatures will grow cool enough both Saturday and Sunday mornings to perhaps trigger a feel of early autumn for some.  Plentiful sunshine can be expected along with unseasonably low dew points with a northeasterly flow in place.

Temperatures and moisture levels will slowly increase as we get into early next week.  With the increasing humidity, expect increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms towards the middle of next week.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 2.00″ – 3.00″
