High pressure holds firm Friday, anchored over the Carolinas and sending southerly winds our way. That wind flow helps put central Indiana into the mid 50s today, and 60s this weekend. Come Saturday afternoon the winds will quicken and the clouds will thicken. A weak upper-level weather maker gives us a chance of some light […]
Fog is a factor again Friday morning, but the fog and low clouds shouldn’t last as long today. One reason will be an increase in wind speed by midday and afternoon. It will be a gusty weekend, with Saturday afternoon breezes to 25mph, and Sunday wind gusts up to 30mph. Expect warmer degrees in the […]
The sun stays strong today, and with high pressure docked in Pennsylvania, the wind flow returns to the south and we’ll put a few more temperature points on the board. High pressure has the upper hand until Friday. The best chance of showers and storms is Friday afternoon and evening. Deja vu all over? Not […]
People sometimes say to me that it’s great to be a weather guesser. “What other job can you keep even when you’re wrong?” How much time do you have? Economist, NBA Ref, those exit pollers in Wisconsin… Speaking of them, in a political year you sometimes hear about the “margin of error” when it comes […]
You know what’s different about this weekend? The Indy high will go UP on Saturday compared to Sunday. If it seems lately that every weekend begins with colder temperatures that’s because… it has. Last weekend the Saturday high dropped 25 degrees from Friday’s high. The week before the drop was 8. And the week before […]
I’ve had the question a few times this weekend: what happened Friday to cause such an outbreak? Thunderstorms, including the super-cell, or rotating storms that can spawn tornadoes, have some basic requirements: moisture, instability, and some sort of lift, or trigger mechanism. Moisture first streamed northward Friday with a warm front. A good way to […]
A Dense Fog Advisory is in place until 10am Central time for my new listeners this week in “Q102-land.” The Advisory covers the counties just to the north of Ohio River. Patches of dense fog are all over the state today, caused by a very light wind flow, and skies that began to clear completely […]
Let’s synchronize our weather: Sky? Bright. Wind? Light. Done. Here’s a map showing today’s expected highs. Above average numbers will continue through the middle of next week. Fall’s alive and well in the West, with up to two feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Winds are strong between that strong area of low […]
A raw deal today: colder, with big breezes. Here’s a look at highs around central Indiana. It will be coldest north and east of Indianapolis. The northwest wind flow off Lake Michigan today will send more clouds and periods of showers down into that region of the state. Look at my huge radar by clicking […]
