  •   Hoosier Weather NOW ~ a Chris McNew Presentation

    August 4-5

    Looking data over, I have confidence in time frames for our overall pattern out through September 15th.  I covered a lot of this in the blog yesterday, but will summarize in my discussion today.  We are into our typical "August Fog" season.  More or less, any morning when fog is possible, it can become locally dense.  ALWAYS check for fog delays during August/early September.  There will be some scattered downpours Wednesday evening/night.  Not everyone sees rain.  Low to scattered storm chances Thursday and Friday - no all day rain and I don't see anything crying severe.   This changes some for Saturday.  I think storms will be a little more numerous and there looks to me to be a marginal threat for severe wind.  We turn quieter Sunday and Monday before yet another hot dome sets up to our west.  This will be our pattern driver for almost a week.  We will be hot, but not record breaking hot -- with stuffy to oppressive dew points but not as oppressive as we saw in July.  There will be storm complexes that will bring at least a couple...perhaps multiple severe chances from Tuesday through that next weekend.  We have have at least one enhanced risk potential in that time frame!  We should turn cooler (considering it is August), drier and less humid from around August 16/17 through August 27/28.   Summer's last real heat wave for us arrives late August (28/29th) through Labor Day weekend (September 7/8th)  This should be our last multiday stretch of highs in the 90's with lows in the 70's -- and real humidity to boot, along with storms!  (severe?)   I think from around Sept 8/9 through mid month we see a strong hint of FALL.  We should have a stretch of cooler to much cooler air, little to no humidity, and little to no appreciable rain.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of days with fairly overcast skies...highs in the 60's to low 70's and lows in the 40's and 50's.  Don't worry, we warm up for the second half of September.  I don't see an early killing freeze this year, so your fall mums should do very well this year!
