Get Ready For More Ups and Downs in Temps Through the End of April!

A band of rain and thunder moving through the state this morning. Much of that will exit by mid-morning, with sunshine and WINDY conditions this afternoon.

The NWS has decided to issue a wind advisory for today, until 6pm. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph in spots today. It will make travel tough, and please anchor down any loose items in your yard, or they will blow far, far away! :) 

The next couple days look like great spring weather to get outside. Mainly mid/upper 60's for tomorrow, then 70's are back by Wednesday, with sunshine around.

Changes gradually arrive later this week. A cold front will stall out over Indiana Thursday. This will provide a chance of a couple showers. A low pressure will ride along that front Friday, with widespread rain likely on Friday.

A big-time change is on the way this weekend. A cut-off low will develop to our east, with a cold, northerly flow across Indiana. I'm not totally ruling out the idea of snowflakes, as the GFS does the potential in this set-up:

   You can breathe, now! :) 

As far as temperatures, 50's look like a good bet, with some areas staying in the upper 40's. Can you say, YUCK!!!! I probably ruined your day with this weekend forecast, huh? I'll see what I can do! Mother Nature likes to change her mind a lot, so this forecast could change for better, or worse..! We'll have to wait and see.

Looking farther down the road, a big-time warm-up is likely by the middle and end of next week. 80's could even return.

Moral of the story, UP and DOWN for the rest of the month. 

Have a great Monday everyone. 

Rain Moves Out - Summer-like Sunday!

Not the best of days outside today, but many areas saw some MUCH needed rains. Indy officially received 1.15", with pockets of 2" of rain today south of Indy.

While we had non-severe storms locally, it continues to be one insane tornado outbreak across the Plains. Check out this incredible shot of twin tornadoes from KWTV. Could you imagine standing in the path of those tornadoes? Scary to say the least!

Keep all of those affected in your thoughts and prayers. Now to the forecast....

TONIGHT:
The warm front will begin to shift north, taking rain chances with it. It will be breezy, warm, and muggy, with temperatures remaining steady. NO jackets needed in the morning.

SUNDAY:
It's going to be wonderful outside. With sunny skies and gusty southwest winds, temps will skyrocket in the 80's!!! No raincoat tomorrow, just shorts and flip-flops. :)

MONDAY:
A cold front will move through the state later Sunday night, through Monday morning. A quick line of showers or storms will move through around daybreak Monday, then the afternoon will be dry, windy, and mild.

Cooler temps, around 61-64 for Tuesday, then upper 60's Wednesday, with 70+ by next Thursday. All three days look dry. I don't even want to mention Friday's forecast. I know that is Prom Night, and right now, the day looks like it could be quite stormy! This CAN and WILL change, but for now, it's not looking good.

Next Saturday is "Thunder over Louisville". I know many people are watching the forecasts closely. RIGHT NOW, it looks like any rain chance would end early, with mainly dry and chilly weather for the afternoon. As far as temps, it looks like it may be a bit chilly. Currently, it looks like lower 60's for Louisville, but mainly 50's for Indiana. This WILL change, so keep checking back.

Thanks for stopping by, have a totally awesome rest of the weekend!

Wet & Stormy Afternoon

Good afternoon. Not the best weather day outside! Right now, we have widespread showers and thunderstorms moving through. A line of storms and heavy downpours is moving right across the central part of Indiana, and continues to push east. A couple hours of moderate rain is likely, before it pushes east. There are also other storms popping up in eastern and southern Indiana. These areas can expect quick, heavy downpours, lightning, perhaps small hail as these move through. I do think there will be some dry hours later this afternoon for many areas. For the next 1-2 hours, you may want to hold off any outdoor plans. Here is the radar to track the thunderstorm activity....

Temperatures later today should top out in the middle 60's-lower 70's, depending on how much dry time we get.

We should dry out later tonight and tomorrow, as we get into the warm sector. Tomorrow looks to be mainly dry, with a mix of sun/clouds. It will be breezy and very warm, with highs near 80! Make those outdoor plans!

Have a great rest of your day.

Warmth Returns - Soggy Saturday?

Good evening! It turned out to be a decent Friday across the state. Milder temps were definitely a welcome change from the chill that has been around much of the week. I am now tracking a good chance of heavy rain and thunderstorms late tonight into tomorrow for much of the state. Will this effect your Saturday plans? Before I get to the details, here is a quick glance at the weekend forecast: 

For Saturday, rain and storm chances are looking more and more likely. Despite that, I don't think it will be a total washout. If it rains much of the day, temps may struggle to reach 70. However, things begin to dry out tomorrow night into Sunday, as warm and windy weather returns. Sunday looks great, but windy and warm, with highs near 80 degrees. Areas in northern & western Indiana may see a spotty storm, but most places will enjoy a dry Sunday.


Storms will be in the forecast Monday, then we dry out by Tuesday. A brief cool-down in the low 60's for Tuesday, then the warmth returns. I think the latter part of next week will be well in the 70's. Right now, I don't see anymore frost of freeze issues, at least in the next 10 days.


Before I go, I want to mention that a major, perhaps historical tornado outbreak is getting ready to take shape tomorrow in the Plains. The tornado parameters are off the charts, and tomorrow looks to be a extremely dangerous day for the country's mid-section. Let's pray right now that this outbreak is much less severe than thought, and that no lives are lost in the storms.

Have a great evening!

Big Warm-Up On The Way - Weekend Storms?

Good morning! It's another cold, frosty morning. Are you sick of these chilly temps? Good, because we are about to see a huge turn-around in our temps. Today is the beginning of this warm-up. Highs will soar near 60, with sunny skies and light winds. It will feel warmer than the past couple days. Check out the rise in temps over the next few days....

Tomorrow is the home opener for the Indians! Much of tomorrow will be mild and dry, with increasing clouds. By first-pitch, there is the chance of a few showers, but these shouldn't have a huge impact for the game. Go Indians!!!

For the weekend, we have very warm temps, in the 70's. Bad news? There is a chance of scattered storms, esp. for areas along and north of Indianapolis. It will NOT be a washout of a weekend, and the farther south you are this weekend, the better chance you have of dodging the storms. 

A potent storm system will drag a cold front across the state late Monday into Tuesday, with the chance of strong storms. Some parts of the state could have some heavy amounts of rainfall between Saturday and Tuesday, which is great news, considering how dry things have been. Another quick, but decent shot of chilly air may arrive by Wednesday of next week.

Have a terrific Thursday!

Another Frosty Night - Much Warmer Days On The Way!

Good afternoon! It's another chilly one out there, after starting off in the upper 20's in many spots. Our temperatures today are really struggling to climb..as Indy just now hit 50! Temperatures will once again drop like a rock after sunset, and get ready for another cold and frosty start, as a freeze warning has been issued....

Are you ready for a warm-up? Good, because we have a much deserved warm up that begins tomorrow. Tomorrow looks great, with sunny skies and calm winds. It will begin to feel better outside, near 60 tomorrow afternoon. Check out the big change in temps expected as we start the weekend....

I know a lot of people are worried about the rain chance Saturday. Here's the deal. If you live south of I-70, much of Saturday looks dry, with these areas seeing temps between 75-78 degrees. If you live north of I-70, storm chances quickly go up. Indianapolis will be right on the fence of sunshine and heavy storms. Similar deal for Sunday. Everybody will experience 70's, with a isolated spot in southern Indiana potentially reaching 80!


Heavy storms, including heavy rainfall is looking likely through the first half of next week!! We will need to watch for flooding and severe weather during this time. 


Thanks for stopping by, have a great rest of your day!
