Rainy Today But A Nice Mild Weekend For Easter Sunday!!!

HELLOOOOOOOOO LOL It is a wet start to the day this morning. Yes, we will be seeing this rainy mess through out much of the day today. Good news is we should not see any big thunderstorms however a slight rumble is possible. Now rainfall is something we will have a lot of! We will see rainfall when all is said and done between a Half inch to an inch possible. Also another thing we will watch today along with our heavy rainfall is going to be some Gusty winds. We will look for winds between 20 and 25 mph with a few gusts to 30 maybe even 35 mph at times. Yes, I'M telling you all to really hold on to your hats and umbrellas as you head out today. :) I do have some news that will help to brighten up your wet day! And the good news is.

SUNNY MILD WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND!!!!!


I know I know I'M pumped up today lol. Really we will see this rain push off later on this evening and the sunny skies will move in for Saturday. Take a look at your weekend weather outlook. And your (Easter Outlook)We will see highs on Saturday of around 57* degrees and even more mild on Easter Sunday with highs around 61* degrees! How does that sound???? This will be great weather for all the area kids to get out and start searching for those eggs the Easter Bunny will hide. I'M calling for lots of goodies that is for sure ;) Nature could not be giving us a better holiday setup that is also for sure. So a nice weekend however we will see more rain move (Back) in again by Monday. This wet weather just won't give up lol. But at least we will see nice weather for the holiday! We can't ask for much more then that! Now we will be watching the rivers as well. Here is a quick massage from the National Weather Service I have posted for you all below...

The System Is Moving This Way But Not Before We See A Wonderful Day!

OK I got some sleep last night and now I have been working on the latest weather models. Right now we can look for a NICE day today with Partly cloudy to Mostly sunny skies. Yes, this is how we will start out only to end the day later on tonight with some rain showers. But not before we hit a high of near 60* degrees!!!!! Yes, this is going to be one of the best days this week that is for sure... Now for now I think we will see the rain showers start to move in sometime around 10:pm tonight. Now I would not rule out any thunder just yet but as for real thunderstorms and or severe weather I think we will miss out on them this time... Take a look at the system we will be tracking later on tonight below. You can see it is starting to move this way..

This is the image we are looking at this morning. We will again see this later on tonight and as of now I think rainfall could be between a half inch to one inch when all is said and done. Today we will see winds between 5 and 10 mph and we will see them start to pick up sometime after 10:pm tonight to 25 mph. As we head into Friday we will still be seeing this rain with some more gusty winds between 20 and 25 mph with a few gusts possible to 30 - 35 mph at times. But the good news is we should not see anything severe today as it is looking like a mostly rain event!! I will pop in if needed. For now there is just to much beautiful weather out their to just let go by so GET OUT AND ENJOY!!!!! Have a good one.....

--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Yes, you can see we still have that freeze warning in effect until 10:00am EDT This morning / Wednesday. Now we have been seeing these lows in the 20s as last nights low was only 32* degrees right at freezing. Well, we will start out today right with Partly cloudy or more like off and on sun. Also I know a lot of you are going to like this!!!!! Low winds! YES!!!!! We will see winds between 10 and 15 mph with maybe a few gusts to 20 mph. This is much lower as we was seeing winds gusting to 35 mph yesterday and it was not making to many people happy I'll tell you that! It was a good thing I did not have much to do outside but every time I opened the back door to let the doggies do there thing a whole lot - o leaves came right on in! Good news and bottom line is we should feel a lot better today. Look for highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.

Now the next chance for rain will be here late Thursday into Friday. Now I do think we will stay mostly dry through out most of the day Thursday however after 8:pm we will start to see some rain showers move in. Now I don't see any severe weather but maybe a little rumble or two at times. As of now this is looking like a mostly rain event. Now Friday is again the main rainy day. And we could very well see more high rainfall amounts back in the area. As of now I'M looking at models showing possible rainfall between a half inch to one inch.
For now everybody has been watching the rivers closely! This is why. Take a look at where the Wabash River currently stands.You can see we are currently at 18.51ft which is still a good seven and a half feet over flood stage. Good news is we are expected to start slowly falling as we go through this week. You see by Thursday around 2:am we should be around 17.3ft. This is good news as we get ready to track more wild rain by late Thursday into Friday. One more thing is we will start out our weekend in a great way! Currently I'M calling for a lot of Mostly Sunny skies on Saturday with mild temperatures in the Upper 50s!!!!! And I also think we can see a rather nice Sunday. Yes, I think we will see Partly cloudy to Mostly sunny skies and again highs in the upper 50s. Maybe more rain to track on Monday but over all I think we are doing pretty good for the rest of this week!

I will check back soon now go have another Beautiful day!!!!!
