Clouds Slowly Diminish Today; Rain Returns Mid Week…

It’s a much cooler and overcast start to the work week.  A quick snap shot of the morning satellite shows a stubborn low cloud deck that will slowly erode as we progress into the back half of the day from west to east.

Screen Shot 2016-03-28 at 8.02.27 AMChilly high pressure will settle over the region through the early week and provide drier conditions.  Temperatures will fall to frosty levels tonight (30-32 degrees for most).

4Our air flow will back around to the SW Wednesday into Thursday and this will transport warmer, more moist air northward.  As such, rain chances will begin to go up late Wednesday into Thursday.

3Rainfall amounts don’t look particularly impressive from this distance (0.50″-0.75″), but we’ll continue to keep an eye on things.

A secondary cold front will move through the region to close the work week and send much cooler air south.  The good news?  While still colder than normal, model trends haven’t been as cold in recent runs.  We still think multiple nights of sub-freezing temperatures are ahead, but the “absurd cold” looks to remain to our north/ northeast as of now.

Strong To Severe Storms By Easter Evening…

Happy Easter!  From all of us at IndyWx.com, we wish you a blessed day!

Easter Sunday is off to a beautiful start with lots of sunshine, temperatures in the 40s, and light winds.  Unfortunately, things will begin to change in rather significant fashion as early as the evening hours.  Beforehand, expect sunshine to help boost temperatures into the lower 70s across many central IN neighborhoods.  It’ll turn increasingly moist, as well, as surface dew points jump into the lower 60s.

Highs today will reach the lower 70s.

Highs today will reach the lower 70s.

Dew points will climb into the lower 60s by evening.

Dew points will climb into the lower 60s by evening.

An approaching area of low pressure and associated cold front will provide just enough spin/ lift, in combination with the warmth and increasingly moist air mass, to ignite storms this evening.  Some of these storms will likely reach strong to severe levels.  We’re most concerned for the potential of damaging straight line winds and large hail.

High resolution simulated radar data suggests storms ignite around 6p across central IN.  We caution that this image should be used as guidance and not taken verbatim.

hrrr_ref_indy_11Have a way to get the latest weather information later this afternoon and evening.  Watches or warnings may be required…
