My summer forecast!

Good evening! Thanks for checking the blog! Now that we are about to enter the summer months, I now have a better idea how the weather will be this summer. I will take it one month at a time:




June:


-above normal temps


-normal precipitation


July:


-slightly below normal temps


-above normal precipitation


August:


-normal temps


-near to below normal precipitation


-Summer 2011 should stack up with near normal temps, and slightly above normal precipitation. I expect an increase in severe weather, with some cool shots trying to come out of Canada, as warm air tries to move in throughout the summer. A large chunk of the U.S is going to see a very dry and hot summer. Those areas include the southeast, southern plains, and the southwest. Keep in mind this my thinking... so it will sure be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Hot and Humid week ahead!!

Good evening! Thanks for checking the blog on this hot afternoon! Currently 88 in Indy, mid 80s north, and near 90 south. Temps will fall around 70-72 degrees by tomorrow morning.

Memorial Day may feature record heat as highs soar in the low-mid 90s, with heat indices in the upper 90s. This is dangerous heat, but a breeze will continue to make it feel better. Plan a day at the pool tomorrow! :)

Here is the story of our weather pattern:




Tuesday will be another hot humid day, with highs in the 90s.

Tuesday evening the ridge will try to break down, with a cool front trying to work into the area. Wednesday and Thursday will feature mostly sunny skies, with very slight chances for showers. Highs will still be in the mid 80s.

The ridge builds back for Friday through next weekend, resulting in sunny skies and highs near 90. The good news is many areas won't see a drop of rain this week! This is the best forecast we have had around here in a long time! :)

Since the weather pattern isn't busy for once, I will not be updating everyday. Have a great rest of the holiday weekend, and stay cool!

Recap of yesterday's storms.. tracking dry and hot weather for the big weekend!

Good afternoon! Sorry I haven't had a real update in a while. I would've had a live chat about the storms last night, but I think all the media around here does such a wonderful job! The NWS has now confirmed that a high-end Ef-2 tornado hit Bedford yesterday, along with an Ef-1 in Bloomington, and an Ef-1 in Haysville. I am sure that more will continue to be confirmed, as so many areas had so much damage yesterday! Now let's talk about all the upcoming weather for the area:

-An upper level low continues to spin showers in Indiana this afternoon, and as it passes, temps will fall into the 50s later this evening, then upper 40s-low 50s by tomorrow morning. Showers will die down after midnight.

-Friday will start chilly and foggy, but things will improve through the day. A partly to mostly cloudy sky will be around tomorrow afternoon, with the slightest chance of a stray shower. Highs will be very cool for May, in the upper 60s.

Memorial Weekend: The big weekend is looking great! Saturday will be partly sunny, with a small shower chance. Temps will warm near 80. Race Day Sunday looks hot and windy, with highs in the upper 80s! If you are going to the Indy 500 Sunday, pack the sunscreen and plenty of water! Memorial Day looks sunny and hot! Highs will warm into the low 90s! If you haven't opened your pool yet, this is the time to do it!



-Next Tuesday looks sunny and hot again, with highs in the low 90s! With the high dewpoints in place, some areas could get close to heat advisory criteria! A weak system will move in near Wednesday, with the chance of a shower or storm. Highs will be in the 80s. The overall pattern looks basically dry for the entire week next week, this is just what we have needed!! Hopefully this will drive those mosquitos away as well!

Have a great evening, and thanks for checking the blog.

New Tornado Warnings

*Tornado Warnings for: Greene, Vermillion, Vigo, Bartholomew, Decatur, Henry, Lawrence, Monroe, Owen, Rush, Shelby, Warren, Fountain, and Morgan counties. Dangerous squall line on the way!

Moderate risk for severe storms today! Tornado Watch until 7pm

Good morning! Thanks for checking the blog! We have a moderate risk for severe storms today. Also, a tornado watch was just issued for the area until 7pm! There are several reasons why today's storms could be very serious! Here is a breakdown of today's weather:

-A warm front is moving across the Ohio Valley this morning. There are showers and storms along and ahead of it. These will continue off and on through the morning.

-As the warm front lifts north, skies will clear and the atmosphere will become VERY hot, humid, and unstable. That sun will add to the instability and spark dangerous supercells later today. There is a ton of shear in the atmosphere today, so strong tornadoes are a big concern today. Large hail and damaging winds are very high threats today as well. While a strong storm is possible early, the best time for these storms will be from 2pm-10pm.


Looking ahead to the holiday weekend.. there will be some major heat building! Just a spotty shower Saturday, with highs in the upper 70s-low 80s. Upper 80s for race day, and 90 degree heat for Memorial Day. There will also be lots of sunshine.

Humid and stormy

Good morning! I know there were warnings with some of the storms yesterday, and I'm sorry I didn't update! A major tornado hit Joplin, MO yesterday, nearly destroying the whole town. My thoughts and prayers are with them. I can't say enough how lucky we are! That same line moved across the state last night, but lost it's power by time it hit the state.

-Another risk of dangerous storms across the state again today, with hail and damaging winds main threats. Here is the SPC map:

Today will be another muggy summer-like day, with highs in the low-mid 80s.

-A squall line may move through later this evening, and this needs to be watched closely. The atmosphere is just right for severe storms at anytime overnight.

-Scattered showers and severe storms will be more numerous tomorrow, with highs near 80.

-More of the same Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the low 80s Wednesday, and the mid 70s Thursday. Isolated shower will continue Friday, with highs around 70. We will not have complete washouts any day this week, but storms could occur at any time.

-Another huge story is the flooding! It appears that 3-5" of rain is possible by Thursday. If this does occur, this will mean high river levels all over again, especially down south where they really don't need it!

-Next weekend is the big race weekend, along with it being Memorial Weekend. It appears spotty showers will be possible, with refreshing highs in the low 70s. I am not expecting a washout of a weekend. Memorial day looks like more of the same, with temps near 80. Highs will return to the 80s next week, along with an unsettled pattern.

Before I go, here are tracking tools for today's storms:












Have a great day!!

A stretch of 80s start today!

Good Friday!! Thanks for checking the blog! Sorry I haven't been updating much. I will be updating more often starting next Friday, when summer break starts! Today will be the beginning of a stretch of 80 degree days. There is also the risk for severe storms over the next several days.

-Partly sunny skies will be around today, with calm winds. Highs will near 80.

-The weather this evening and overnight will be great! Skies will be partly cloudy, with lows only falling to the low 60s.

-Our Saturday will start nice and dry, but won't end that way! The good news is that te next system is slowing down.. meaning we should stay dry until middle to late afternoon! It will be rather hot and humid, with highs in the low 80s. Some of those storms can be severe, and here is the SPC map:


-Sunday will be partly sunny, with isolated-scattered pop-up showers/storms. Some of those may be severe. Not everybody will see rain on Sunday! Temperatures on Sunday will reach the mid 80s, with heat indices in the upper 80s! Again, some of those storms may be severe. Look at all the states included in the risk Sunday:

Next week will be more of the same, with isolated-scattered storms. Highs will be in the 80s Monday and Tuesday, falling into the 70s Wednesday-Friday. Some storms may be severe as well. Dry weather will return later Thursday, and hopefully that will continue for Memorial Weekend!

Have a great Friday!

Cold for now... warm and humid by the weekend!

Hi everyone! Thanks for checking the blog. I hope everyone enjoyed the unexpected sunshine yesterday, because today and tomorrow will be cool and plain nasty! Just looking ahead.. we will see a MAJOR turn-around in temperatures by the weekend and through the rest of the month. This warm-up will have the staying power that all the other warm-ups didn't have! It could also spark some severe weather for the end of May. Before I get to all that, here is the forecast for the next few days:

Today will be a gloomy and cold day, with highs only in the mid 50s. Drizzle and scattered sprinkles will move in this afternoon. Light rain will fall tonight, with very little amounts expected.

Tomorrow will be another showery day, but a little warmer. Highs will hit the low-mid 60s.

We will begin to feel the warm up Thursday, with only isolated rain chances. Highs will hit the low 70s!

Friday will be the day to get outside, with partly sunny skies and middle 70s!

Extended Outlook: By this weekend, we will have warmth and humidity, with highs nearing 80. It looks like we may have a decent shot of scattered storms both days this weekend, but no washouts expected at this time. Look at all that warm air surging into the Ohio Valley by Saturday:


Now here is the temperature difference from today and Sunday:


This means temperatures will from way below normal, to a bit above normal. Keep in mind, 80s are pretty normal for late May! The pattern next week looks hot and humid, with scattered storms. Highs will be in the 80s! Even if the pattern is active, I love the hot weather!! We will have to watch for some potential severe weather firing up with the heat.

Thanks for taking your time to read natesweatherblog! Have a great day!

Some sunshine today, rain returns tomorrow

Good morning! This is our big Matthew 5:16 day!! The weather is certainly pretty good for it!

Rain showers have moved out, as drier air has moved in. This has allowed the clouds to scour out. While I still expect clouds from time to time, it should be a partly sunny day. It will be breezy and chilly day, with highs in the upper 50s-near 60. Here is the weather timeline for today:

9am: Partly sunny, chilly! 47.

11am: Sunny skies, cool. 52.

1pm: Partly sunny. warmer. 56.

3pm: Mostly cloudy. 58.

5pm: Partly sunny. High 60.

Definately better than earlier thought!

Skies will clear tonight, allowing for some very cold temps!! Upper 30s are likely, along with a VERY late season patchy frost potential. And we are just a couple weeks out of June! Crazy! Here is a map to prove the chill:


We will see the upper-level low swing back towards us tomorrow, so rain chances increase late in the day. Highs will only hit the upper 50s.

More of the same for Wednesday, cloudy skies and showers possible. Highs will be in the 60s.

By Thursday and Friday, the pattern will shift pretty rapidly, meaning a big time warm-up for us! Highs will go from those 60s Wednesday, to near 70 Thursday, and mid 70s Friday! Chances of rain will linger Thursday, but we should see sunshine on Friday.

Next weekend and beyond:  A warm an humid pattern will take over by next weekend, with scattered storms possible late Saturday and Sunday. I am not expecting a weekend washout at this time. Highs will be in the upper 70s both days. It looks like 80s return next week, along with scattered storms possible. It's just too early to have much confidence, so I will refine that in the coming days. The park day forecast for next Tuesday looks like scattered storms and low 80s. Again, it's too early to give a confident forecast.

Have a great day!!

Most areas certainly don't need any more rain! There are still a ton of flooding problems here in southern Indiana. Some of the flooding is just unbelievable from the patoka river in Jasper. As far as the weather for the rest of the day, expect scattered showers all afternoon, with steady temperatures in the mid 50s. Have a great afternoon!

Chiily and wet today, dry tomorrow!!

Good morning! Sorry I haven't updated for a while! Our weather pattern went from the 80s to the 50s in just a couple of days! This cooler pattern will stick around through the middle of the week or so, before MUCH warmer weather takes over for the second half of May.

Today will be nothing short of ugly.. with an upper-level low spinning showers across the area today. It will feel like March! Here is radar to track the cold rain today:



Oh yeah.. did I mention it will be breezy as well? It will only add to the chill today!

Northerly winds tonight will clear the rain out of the area, with a cold night ahead! Temperatures by tomorrow morning will be in the low 40s.

Matthew 5:16 Day: The weather is looking dry for tomorrow!!! Any shower tomorrow would be well east of us, and there won't be much forcing to cause showers. We may see some sunshine across the western half of the state! Let's hope some of that sunshine makes it to Indy! :) It will be chilly though, with strong north winds, along with highs ranging from the mid 50s in the far east, to near 60 west. All events tomorrow shouldn't be affected by weather, except it will be cool for those doing the car washes!!

Tomorrow night looks unbelievably cold, with lows in the 30s!! Some people will be waking up to a mid- May frost. Isn't that downright rediculous? Here is the GFS for Tuesday morning:



Tuesday will be a cloudy and cool day, with highs in the upper 50s. Scattered showers are possible across the eastern half of the state, but no washout expected.

Wednesday will be slightly milder.. with highs in the low 60s. Scattered showers will be possible, as the upper-level low continues to retrograde across the Ohio Valley.

Thursday and Friday will be much milder, with highs near 70 Thursday, and low 70s Friday. Scattered showers appear possible both days, but I expect many dry hours.

Next weekend looks very warm, with scatterd showers and storms possible. Highs will hit the low 70s Saturday, and mid-upper 70s Sunday! The average temperature for this time of year is well in the 70s.

That warm pattern should basically continue through the rest of May. It looks like there could be some severe weather events with the warm temperatures, as an active pattern is possible.

That is all for today.. hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Another hot one, changes on the way!

Good morning! Thanks for checking the blog. No doubt about it... it feels like the middle of July outside! We hit 87 yesterday, 2 shy of a record. The heat index (feel-like temp) hit the low 90s yesterday. I don't have much time, so here are quick notes:

-Warm and humid today, with pop-up storms.

-Better chance of showers tomorrow and highs near 80.

-Much cooler this weekend, with scattered showers likely. Near 70 Saturday, mid 60s Sunday.

-An upper-level low will hang across the Ohio Valley next week, with rain showers a good bet Monday. Temperatures Monday will only hit the low 60s. Some of the models keep the moisture throught the middle of the week, but right now I think we should dry out from Tuesday, throught the end of next week.

Hot and Humid!

Good Wednesday everyone!! We are waking up to mostly sunny skies, and temps already at 70. It is quite muggy as well.

We had some severe storms move through areas north and east of Indy yesterday, check out these amazing hail pics:




Those pics were taken near Hartford City yesterday afternoon.

Today's weather looks a lot like yesterday's, maybe hotter! Highs will hit the upper 80s, with a heat index at or above 90 later today. Enjoy it, but please take it easy!! Pop-up storms are possible, but chances are very low. Don't know about you, but I am loving this weather!! :) Here is radar to track anything that pops up:



Tomorrow will be another hot with uncomfortable humidity, and hot temps. Pop-up storms are possible, with highs in the mid 80s. Heat index values may range from 86-91.

The cold air keeps getting pushed back, so temps on Friday should be quite warm with temps near 80, and a better chance of some scattered storms.

The pattern really begins to show change by this weekend, with a cooler and stormy pattern. While it won't rain all weekend, showers could be around at anytime. Highs will go from the 70s Saturday, to the 60s Sunday.

Next week looks cooler for the first half of the week, with a upper-level low taking its time to get out of here. Scattered showers and 60s Monday, then drying out later Tuesday and Wednesday, with temps only in the 60s. We should see another spike in temps towards the end of next week.

Be sure to get outside today, and enjoy the heat!!

*New Tornado Warnings*

***2:40 Update*
Madison and Delaware counties are under TORNADO WARNINGS until 3:15! Take shelter immediately!!

Previous Update:


Good afternoon. It is one hot day across Indiana, with temps in the 80s. Because of all the heat and humidity, storms are firing up and becoming severe quickly. In this environment, any storms can produce large hail, damaging winds, tornados, and torrential rains.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH is in effect for the entire area. Here is the watch/warning map:

A severe thunderstorm WARNING is in effect for Hamilton, Hancock, Delaware, and Madison counties until 2:30.

Here are radars to track those dangerous storms this afternoon.....






Be sure to stay tuned!

-Nathan

Heat and Humidity on the rise!

Good morning! It is already a very warm morning outside, with temps in the upper 60s. If you thought yesterday was warm, wait until you hear today's forecast!

We will be looking at partly sunny sky today, with highs in the mid 80s! Keep in mind the humidity will be much higher than yesterday, so the heat index could reach 86-90. If you are outside working today, be sure to stay hydrated! Along with the heat, pop-up storms are possible, with heavy downpours being possible.

Wednesday will be more of the same, with partly sunny skies, and pop-up storms. I think a lot of places will stay dry, but the risk is there. Highs will hit the mid-upper 80s. Our dewpoints by tomorrow will be in the 70s, which is VERY uncomfortable. Heat indices could top 90 tomorrow!!

Thursday will be another day in the 80s, along with a better chance of storms.

The pattern will shift by the weekend, with a much cooler and active pattern setting up. Highs this weekend may struggle to get out of the 60s. Keep in mind, there will be dry hours each day this weekend, but there will also be wet hours!

Next Week: Next Monday is a day that we all want to be nice, because of our Matthew 5:16 day! Right now, it looks like we may see some scattered showers, with highs only in the mid 60s. I will continue to update that forecast!

It looks like the overall pattern is finally shifting into a more late spring pattern. The cold air is being scoured out of Canada, and the overall pattern is trending warmer. Here are temp anomalies from now through the end of May:


As you can see, a cooler pattern is going to set-up this weekend and early next week, then I expect a warm up by the middle of next week. The overall pattern towards the last 12 days of May or so, suggest a warm pattern to set-up. That's a pattern we all like! Let's hope we get in a dry pattern as well!

-Nathan

A summer-like week ahead!

Good morning! I hope everyone had an awesome Mother's Day weekend! As far as the weather, there is some major warmth to build in over the next several days. Almost like a little heat wave.

Today's weather looks awesome, with a partly sunny sky, and highs in the upper 70s.

We have a blocked up set-up across the country, with a trough in the west, a low pressure in the Atlantic, and a ridge across the midwest. This suggest several warm and humid days to come. Many areas to our west in the Plains could get well into the 90s this week. We will be on the outside of the hottest temps. Here is a map that shows the pattern set-up this week:


A system will move along a stationary warm front tonight, meaning showers or storms possible with daytime heat and especially tonight. Lows will be in the 60s!

Tomorrow will be like a typical summer day, with highs surging in the mid 80s or better, with higher humidity levels. A few am showers are possible, otherwise we should see some sunshine.

Wednesday will be another hot one with partly sunny skies, and highs in the mid-upper 80s! With high humidity, the heat index could reach 90 in some spots! Wow!!

The warmth continues right into Thursday, with a better chance of scattered storms, and highs in the low 80s.

The pattern will shift by Friday, with the ridge breaking down, and an active, much cooler set-up by next weekend. I do not expect a washout next weekend, but rain showers are possible Friday-next weekend, and highs near 70 Friday, then down in the mid 60s next weekend.

Be sure to get outside today, as it is going to be a warm, beautiful weather day! Have a great day!

Stormy evening, a great Mother's Day tomorrow!

Good evening. I have been tracking storms this evening, and the storms are moving out of central Indiana, and into southern Indiana. Greene, Lawrence, and Martin counties are under tornado warnings. These storms are showing signs of weakening, but don't let your guard down if you live anywhere in southern Indiana. Before I get to the maps and radars, here is the weather breakdown:

-Mother's day looks awesome, with a partly sunny skies and 70s.

-Next Week:


The heat is on starting Monday, with temperatures soaring! Pop-up showers and storms are possible Monday, with highs near 80. High heat and humidity will take control Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs in the mid-upper 80s!! Add high humidity, and you can get a heat index (feel-like temp) of 87-90 degrees! Other than an isolated storm Tuesday, it will be mainly dry. Since this is the first "hot" spell of the season, it is always good to remember to stay hydrated if out for long periods, and wear light, thin clothing if outdoors. No, this isn't dangerous heat or anything, but it will be quite warm!! A ridge will begin to breakdown Thursday, with showers and storms possible. A wet and cool pattern is possible Friday-next weekend, with the cool 60s for highs.

Here are radars to track the southwest Indiana storms:












Latest Warnings:


Have a great night, God bless!!

The map below will show you the latest, updated warnings. This supercell will continue to move south and slightly east. Hail of 1.50 in diameter was reported on the southeast side of Terre Haute. This can cause damage. Not only a tornado threat, but hail as well. This storm has missed Indianapolis, which is great news. You can check out all the storm tracking radars from the previous post below.......

Precious Discussion:

Good evening, everyone! The SPC has issued a severe t'storm watch for all of central and northern Indiana. Severe supercells are popping up, thanks to sunshine and instability. Here is a map of the latest watches and warnings:

The pink is the severe storm watch, the reds are tornado warnings, and the orange shades are the severe storm warnings. This severe supercell may hit Crawfordsville, then possibly the north side of the Indianapolis area if it stays severe. That map will update every minute, so you can keep track of the latest warnings.

Here are storm tracking radars, to track those strong cells this evening.......





Stay tuned to the blog, as I will update as warnings expand into Indiana.

Warmer weather on the way!

Good morning, and welcome to a beautiful weather day in Indiana. Sad thing is.. another system will move in by later this evening!

We are starting our morning with frost, and record cold in the 30s. Temperatures will rebound nicely today in the mid 60s, with a nice blue sky. You can track the temperatures today here....


Clouds will increase this evening, with a system diving in from the west later this evening. Scattered showers are a good bet. A lot of this will be light stuff.

Rain chances will decrease by Friday afternoon. Highs tomorrow will be in the upper 60s.

The weekend looks mild, with some dry time. Saturday is the mini marathon, and temperatures Saturday morning will start out in the low 50s. Should be nice for the runners! However, rain showers will move in for Saturday, as the next system moves in. While it won't rain all the time, there will be some rain. Highs Saturday will near 70. Mother's day looks great, with partly sunny skies and mid 70s. :) Get out and have a cook-out Sunday afternoon!

Next week will be summer-like, with temperatures likely surging in the 80s. A warm front will move in Monday, with an isolated shower, storm possible. Most of Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry, with increasing humidity along with the heat. This is when temps can soar to about 82-84 degrees! Later Wednesday and Thursday, a low pressure system will move in, meaning severe storms will be possible Wednesday night or Thursday. Timing in uncertain at this time. Temps will drop back into the 60s by the end of the week.

 That is all for today, have a great day!

Another Ugly Day!

Good morning! We are waking up with scattered showers, and cold temperatures! We are in the low 40s, along with some rain. It doesn't get any worse than this in May!

This wet pattern is way past being old, it is just plain ugly!! Record flooding coninues in southern Indiana, and this pattern just keeps dumping the rain!

The rain showers this morning will become spotty this afternoon. It will be breezy and cold when it's not raining. Here is the hourly forecast for today:

9am: Cloudy with drizzle. COLD! 44.

11am: Cloudy with pesky sprinkles. 47.

1pm: Cloudy with spotty showers. 48.

3pm: Cloudy with spotty showers. 50.

You can track the rain here:


High pressure will move in tonight, clearing the rain out. There will be some frost tomorrow morning, so cover up the blooming plants!

Wednesday will be much better with the sun back, but still well below normal! Highs will hit the upper 50s.

After a frosty start Thursday, it should be a warmer and nice day! Highs will hit the mid 60s, under partly sunny skies.

A system will dive in Thursday evening, bringing in showers. This should be a fast mover, so flooding shouldn't be a big issue.

After a morning shower Friday, it should be decent Friday afternoon. Highs will hit the mid-upper 60s.

Mother's Day Weekend: Things will FINALLY warm up to the low 70s this weekend! A system will dive in for Saturday, meaning a chance for showers. Things should clear up by Mother's day, with lots of dry time and highs in the 70s Sunday.

There will be a BIG surge of warm, moist air for the first half of next week. Highs will hit the upper 70s, may some low 80s by next Tuesday! :) Isn't it about time?? Monday and Tuesday will be mainly dry, before a low pressure system moves in Wednesday. There could be some strong storms around that time, because when it warms, it storms! There will be another chill shot behind this system for the end of next week. Don't you wish the pattern could STAY warm! It should be by now!

That is all for today, thanks for checking natesweatherblog! Have a great day!

Baseball Forecast for Tomorrow!

Good evening! Hope everyone had a good day! It was a nasty, cold, wet day outside! Misery loves its company! Now here is the detailed forecast for our baseball in education day:

-Game Time 11am: Light rain possible, COLD! 47.

-Noon: Dry breaks in the rain, but chilly! 49.

-1pm: Spotty showers or drizzle. 50.

-2pm: light shower, cold! 51.

It is going to feel miserable out there if you are not bundled up! I would bring all the layers, a few jackets, heavy coats, rain coat, etc. It is going to be a lot like today, maybe colder. I don't expect it to rain all the time, so it could be worse!! Well... maybe not.

I'm sorry about that stupid forecast, I can't help it! Thanks for looking at the blog, have a good night!
