Rain Is just To Our West!

Take a look at the rain off to our west! This will soon be dumping all over the state! I'll be right back with details on how much rain! and if Thunderstorms will be a threat!

Turn Around Don't Drown! Watching The Rivers With 1" to 2" Inches Of Rain On The Way This Weekend!

Well, bloggers the National weather service map above says it all this weekend! RAIN!! RAIN RAIN and MORE RAIN! Not good for the rivers in the least bit! But we will get through it. You can see we are looking for a warm front that will spark a few scattered rain showers tomorrow (Friday) across the area with heavier rains on that way by Friday night into Saturday! Friday night and Saturday will be when we pick up the most rain across the area. I'm talking between 1" and 2" inches possible when all is said and done.

Here's the break down in your quick cast below.

Quick Cast.....

Friday we will look for scattered rain showers across the area through out the day. A rumble or two cannot be ruled out however I'm not looking for any strong or severe thunderstorms this time around! More rain showers / (Heavier rain showers) will move into the area later on Friday night into Saturday! Friday rainfall between a trace and a quarter inch. Expect a high around 56* degrees with a low that night around 36* degrees. Winds between 10 and 20 mph.

Saturday we will look for rain showers across the area for a good part of the day! Again a rumble here and there cannot be ruled out however nothing strong or severe. Heavy rain showers should start to tapper off by that late morning / early afternoon. A few light hit and miss scattered showers possible at times. Otherwise mostly cloudy. Rainfall between 1" and 2" inches. Expect a high around 42* degrees with a low Saturday night around 23* degrees. Winds between 10 and 15 mph. Gusting between 20 - 30 mph possible.

So the next question is "How bad will this rain effect the rivers?". Well, we are looking at the Wabash river currently sitting at 14.13ft. Which is a good 3.13ft above flood stage! After all this rain we see over the weekend we could be cresting a good 5.5ft above flood stage! Take a look.

You can see that by Monday morning we are expected to see the Wabash crest at around 16.5ft. So as I have said in the past, If you live by the rivers take note and be weather ready and safe! Remember your flood tips when it comes to safety! ie, Driving tips, and so on! (Turn around don't drown!).

That's it for now blogger. I will be sure to keep you posted the best I can with the rain event on the way! Remember you can always send your weather reports and pictures to me at dobby1717@aol.com Thanks!

God Bless!

Developing Post Tonight.

I will have your update posted tonight bloggers We will talk about the rain on the way! Could we hear any thunder along with it?? How much rain could we see?? I'll let you know!

DEVELOPING..... (Tonight).....

It Was A Beautiful Sunny Day!!

Well, first things first! What an amazing day it was today!! Beautiful sunny skies across the area with a high around 46* degrees! WOW It felt sooo good to get out for a nice 2 mile run around Armstrong park pond. Then I came home and did a weight workout outside! It was a nice cool crisp sunny day! Who's ready for more spring weather?? I know a lot of you gotta be ready! :)

Well, we have more mild weather on the way! But before we get to that lets take a quick look at whats going on down around the Wabash River. Take a look below.You can see we are expected to crest on the Wabash tonight at around 16.3ft. This is a good five feet above flood stage so we are watching that closely. Good news is we will have a few dry days that should help out a bit. Bad news is I also see more rain in the forecast by this weekend where another 2" inches of rain could be possible! That won't help the rivers a bit!! So I will be watching that closely for everyone as well.

Lets take a look at your quick cast below.

Quick Cast.....

Wednesday we will look for lots of mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies across the viewing area! Highs will be around 41* degrees as a cold front pushes through the area. This will make for a cold night with a low around 19* degrees. Winds between 10 and 15 mph.

Thursday we will see more partly cloudy skies through out the day. Some clouds start to move into the area later on that evening / night. With around a 30% chance of a few scattered rain showers that night. Scattered showers continue through Friday. expect a mild high around 48* degrees with a low around 39* degrees. Winds between 10 and 15 mph.

Extended Outlook, We will watch some scattered showers on Friday however the real event to watch will be this weekend! Where we could pick up another 2" inches of rain when all is said and done. Also we will be pushing the low 60s as we head into the weekend! So a lot is going on!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, we could very well be pushing the low 60s as we head into this weekend. Take a look at your extended temperature outlook below.Right now I have upper 50s as highs come this weekend however that could change!

Also the first day of Spring is on the 20th of this month at 7:21pm EDT! So start the count down! It's getting closer and I know a lot of you can't wait lol. I'm ready myself to get out and start running around the pond more as well as getting ready for some 5K's and Softball Season! What are you all ready for??
