Weather Blog (8/8) STORMS IN THE FORECAST - WHAT FOGGY MORNINGS SAY ABOUT UPCOMING WINTER

STORMS IN THE FORECAST: Scattered storms will remain in the forecast today and tomorrow for the entire area, before shifting to areas south for the weekend. Not a guarantee your area will see any storms over the next few days, but those who do could see quick hitting torrential downpours. This time of year, fronts have a hard time trying to push very far south of the Ohio River, and this one is no exception. Showers and storms will remain a threat in the proximity of the front. The front should still be close enough that areas south of Bloomington and Columbus will have a lingering storm chance through the weekend, with the highest chance Saturday. Still, do not expect a washout. Central and northern Indiana will have no threat of rain for the weekend due to them being farther from the front. Drier air will settle in making it feel more comfortable out. Highs will generally range from the upper 70's to middle 80's. Don't forget you can keep an eye on radar whenever you want by clicking the "radars" tab at the top.

FOGGY MORNINGS AND UPCOMING WINTER? There is a long standing folklore that the number of foggy mornings in August will be equal to the amount of snowfalls for the upcoming winter. We have had several foggy mornings already this month. 

Thanks for reading the blog, have a great day!
