Hurricane Florence continues to barrel its way east towards the Carolina shoreline and the latest models continue to paint what will likely be devastating impacts to portions of the Carolinas. As of this Tuesday evening post, Florence is a Category 4 major hurricane with maximum sustained winds at 140mph. It continues to head WNW at […]
Just wanted to send a quick update on what has become an active Atlantic Ocean this week. Hurricane season usually “peaks” between September 8-12th, so this is right on cue. Let’s take a look at what’s happening as of Saturday afternoon. TROPICAL STORM HELENE Helene will likely become a hurricane Sunday, but the steering flow […]
As we roll into the first few days of meteorological Fall, you’d expect the way things go here in NWI that Mother Nature wouldn’t follow suit. And sure enough, we’re in for another bout of heat and humidity that will make it feel more like mid-summer around these parts. It’s all courtesy of another strong […]
Sick of the heat and humidity? It’s okay, you’re allowed to say that. Just not in the fall because we all know what’s coming. Well, do we have the forecast for you! Our round of heavy rain and storms is the price we’ll pay for our weather late Wednesday through Friday as cooler, drier air […]
We’ve seen a very active radar to our north over the last few days where this heat and humidity meets the cooler, fall-like air to the north. Flooding rains and severe weather have been common in this “battlezone” and it’s beginning to sink south and east today. This will bring a strong to severe line […]
Lots to talk about weather-wise this weekend from storms to heat, so let’s get right to it. Let’s talk storm chances first: A storm system will quickly work through the Region overnight tonight and will bring a round of showers and storms. Most of the energy in the atmosphere is to our west, so I’m […]
Enjoy the cooler, drier air the next few days because summer will come roaring back next week and it looks to stick around for awhile. It’s all courtesy of a large ridge that looks to set up over the central and eastern half of the US bringing that good ole “heat dome” back into the […]
As we first mentioned last Tuesday ( Impressive Storm System Next Week? ), a strong storm system by August standards is on the way to the Region. Unfortunately, there isn’t much clarity as of this Sunday evening post in terms of how EXACTLY this storm system will play out. It all hinges on the amount […]
We’re still looking at a pattern-changing storm system next week that will help to kick out our rather muggy, stagnant airmass and will replace it with a breezy, less humid forecast! We’re also getting a better idea of timing and impact potential, so let’s take a look. By late Sunday, we’ll be able to see […]
The latest drought numbers are out as of this morning and they still paint a rather dry scene across much of the Region. The latest numbers out of Valparaiso show we’re about 3.5 inches below average since June 1st and about 4.5 inches below average on the year. We’ve seen a bit more rain in […]
