MUCH Needed Rain On The Way!

It was another awesome weather day across the area! Yes, it was a little hot, but the humidity has been extremely low, which is why we have seen huge temp swings from the 50's at 6am to near 90 this afternoon. 

Here is a look at the national sat/rad map. Notice there are two storm systems heading our way. 1, a storm system to our south, and 2, a cold front to our west:

These storm systems mean that big changes are about to occur in our weather. However, it does look like we should salvage most (if not all) of our Sunday before the storm system arrives.

For Sunday, clouds will thicken through the day, with a little more sun the farther north you are. It appears that areas across southern Indiana (mainly south of Vincennes/Bedford/North Vernon) have a 30% chance of seeing showers moving in after 2pm. More substantial rain and thunderstorms will move into portions of central and southern Indiana overnight Sunday into Monday.

On Monday, Showers and thunderstorms will be likely, with heavy areas of rainfall possible. However, no severe weather is expected. 

More showers and storms can be expected Monday night into early Tuesday, with the cold front knocking on our door. 

The cold front will exit the state Tuesday afternoon, with drier air bleeding in for the second half of the week. Temps will be seasonably warm, in the 80's. 

How much rain? It's a tough forecast, because areas that get training of heavy rain or storms could easily pick up 1-2" of rain, due to tons of moisture in the atmosphere. That will be a lucky few, however. Most areas will see a good 1/2"-1". While we could use more, this will definitely bring some relief to the extremely dry conditions. Here is the HPC's rainfall accumulation for the next 5 days:

By the way, this same storm system has dumped over a foot of rain just today in Pensacola, FL! Check out this insane picture...

Just insane! 

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your evening!
