Great Basketball Weather! Get Out And Play! Active Is The Way To Be!!

It's has been amazing weather outside temperature-wise the past few days! A good 5* to 7* degrees below our average high for this time of year! And if you're anything like me then that is a good thing!! Rainy day's aside it's been great basketball weather as well. My buddy Jason, and I have been hitting it hard this week. You can smell the autumn fresh air which only makes it that much easier to stay outside and play longer.

We got out today and played a game to 60 points. The Final score was a close one! Jason ended the game with a total of 57, and myself 61. We were neck and neck as usual!

These cooler then normal temperatures will continue over the next few days. High Sunday of 69* degrees with a low of 42*. Mostly clear skies through out the day! Great football watching weather. The temperatures will slowly start to climb as we head through the weekend and into next week. 80s try and return by next weekend. Take a look at the next 3 days of temperatures below.

Enjoy it while it's here bloggers! Take care and god bless!

I'll check back soon.

Round 2 of rain about to move through. Cold front on the way!

This is how things have looked here in Indiana pretty much all day. gloomy and rainy. Wet and muggy. And this will continue to be the story into the evening hours. More rain is on the way along with a few more thundershowers likely. We have a cold front that is still trying to make it's way into the state this evening / overnight bringing another line of rain and thunder along with it. Take a look below.

You can see the rain just to our west in IL, making it's way into Indiana as I type. That cold front is just behind that line and moving pretty quickly to our area. I have been going through the current data and I'm not seeing anything that is pointing to severe storms as this makes its way through our area. TT index is around 28 which is super low! EHI is at 0.0 which is good. SI is around 1.8 which is supporting rain and light thunder. and our LI is rather stable. With that said the National weather Service does still have a tornado watch in effect for much of the area until 9pm EDT tonight. I however don't think tornadoes are going to be a threat tonight at this time. Tornado threat is currently around 2% to 5% percent. main threats with this line of rain / thundershowers will be heavy rain at times, Gusty winds as that front starts to push through, some winds between 30 and 45mph in storms likely. And frequent lightning. Overall nothing to strong this time around.

Here is a look at my local radar image taken at 6:pm EDT.

Once this cold front passes through we will see a low tonight of 55* degrees, Highs will be cooler as we finish off the week. Highs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in the upper 60s around 68* degrees. Lows will be in the upper 40s! Autumn is upon us bloggers.

Take care and I'll check back again soon!

God Bless!

The worst part of this squall line of storms is moving through the area. The back side shouldn't be so bad with mostly rain and a few gusty winds at times. Take a look at this radar image above! I froze this at 9:10pm EDT! You can see that thin narrow blue line out in front of this squall line of storms, That is what we call a "Gust Front" Strong strong winds blowing through the area. Strong enough to be picked up on radar out ahead of the storm! Amazing! These are winds blowing upwards of 60mph out in front of these storms.

Main threats will be heavy rainfall, High gusty winds for anyone still in front of the squall line, (The rest of us the wind should be dying down), and Frequent lightning. Stay safe bloggers! I'm off to work!

God Bless!

Thunderstorms developing to our southeast

Storms are really starting to develop to our southwest. These are the thunderstorms that will be moving through our area as we head into the overnight. Expect these storms to start effecting the area around midnight / shortly after. Training thundershowers, will give way to heavy heavy rainfall at times.

Do your best to stay dry bloggers! I'll check back soon.

Thunderstorms On The Way. Stronger Stuff Expected To Stay Southwest!

Good news bloggers. I've gone through the latest data this afternoon.Right now the newest model data isn't showing me as strong of storms as first thought, Which is great news! I'm now expecting the more severe weather risk to be more south and west of our area. With more scattered isolated / moderate thunderstorms in our area,

You can see that the SPC also agrees with this forecast as they too have moved their severe weather threat area this afternoon.

We're seeing a current LI at -1.5 which is only a little unstable supporting rain and light thunder. We're looking for a Total Totals Index tonight around 45.6 which supports isolated / moderate thunderstorms. Not seeing very high Helicity values or CAPE values at this time. Still heavy rainfall will be a big topic tonight with rainfall between 1.00" inches and 1.50" inches. Locally higher amounts possible in storms!

You cans see we already have some scattered thunderstorms starting to pop up across the area. nothing strong or anything at this time. I'll be back to update as needed. Have a great day bloggers!

God Bless!
