Will it rain tonight?
I certainly hope so. There's an 80% chance of rain and it should start after 8:00pm today.
The dust storm arrives a week from today.

It's raining in Bloomington!
Hallelujah! Bring on the rain!

SYNOPSIS... Issued at 321 AM EDT Sun Jun 21 2020 Periodic showers and thunderstorms will be possible throughout the short term period as several perturbations rotate around an upper low situated over southern Manitoba. The best chances, however, will be later today and again Monday and Tuesday. After a lull in activity around mid-week due to brief high pressure, the convective chances will increase again late in the extended period with the next upper level wave and associated surface front. Meanwhile, temperatures will start out above normal early in the period before falling to near or slightly below normal from Tuesday through Thursday. Another warming trend will commence late in the extended period. && .NEAR TERM /This afternoon/... Issued at 1009 AM EDT Sun Jun 21 2020 Surface analysis late this morning shows a weak trough of low pressure over southern Indiana. On a broader scale...strong high pressure was found off the Florida panhandle and Low pressure was found over Ontario. This was resulting in a southerly flow of warm and moist air to Central Indiana. Water vapor aloft shows a short wave over IL/KY/Wrn TN sliding east. Radar mosaics show an area of rain associated with the wave aloft pushing east. HRRR suggests the precip will be mostly focused across the southern parts of the forecast area this afternoon...as the best dynamics will be located there. Forecast soundings through the afternoon suggest nearly saturated column as these features pass. Thus will include highest pops across the southern parts of the forecast area this afternoon...trending lows toward the northern parts of the forecast area. Given the expected clouds and precip...trended highs slightly cooler than the previous forecast. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Tuesday Night/... Issued at 321 AM EDT Sun Jun 21 2020 Tonight, shower and thunderstorm chances will taper off from west to east across central Indiana with a lull over the western half of central Indiana between vorticity maximums. However, southwestern portions of the forecast area will slowly start filling in again with shower and thunderstorm chances by Monday morning as another vort max moves in ahead of a cold front. With the upper Canadian low also closer by that point, upper forcing will contribute further to higher shower and thunderstorm chances. As a result, will trend toward the likely and categorical Pops of the latest National Blend of Models initialization from Monday afternoon into Tuesday. As the Canadian low pushes farther eastward on Tuesday night, most of central Indiana will trend toward a dry forecast except for the east/southeastern counties where low chances for showers and thunderstorms will persist through Tuesday night. Temperatures will start out above normal on Monday with a southwest push of warm advection in the warm sector of a surface low. So, highs will top off in the upper 80s. However, they will dip closer to normal behind a cold front on Tuesday with highs in the low 80s. Overnight lows will vary from the upper 60s tonight and Monday night to low 60s by Tuesday night. && .LONG TERM /Wednesday through Saturday/... Issued at 253 AM EDT Sun Jun 21 2020 Surface high pressure building in from the Plains will bring some drying to central Indiana from Wednesday into Thursday with northwesterly flow bringing in slightly cooler temperatures and lower dew points. From Thursday through Friday the surface high and the best subsidence associated with it will be south of the forecast area. With little in the way of forcing but heat and moisture slowly returning, could see a few isolated showers and storms from Thursday afternoon through Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, though, better forcing arrives in the form of an upper wave and an approaching surface front. This will bring more widespread chances for showers and thunderstorms across the area for the weekend. Highs Wednesday should top out in the upper 70s to lower 80s, but mid to upper 80s are back on tap for the weekend.
We keep missing out on all the action.
It should have stormed here yesterday but it didn't. The prospects for today don't look so good either but maybe we'll get lucky.

Rain and thunderstorms arrive tomorrow after 5:00PM.
If you haven't been paying attention, the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobal will pass to our west tomorrow night. That will give us plenty of rain and thunderstorms. Central Indiana is under a slight risk for severe weather.
After that, temperatures cool off to the lower 80's for the rest of the week as it stays dry through the weekend. Our weather has been quite boring this year and we are in for more of the same according to the NWS.

.LONG TERM /Thursday Night through Monday/... Issued at 356 PM EDT Mon Jun 8 2020 Models are close enough that the National Blend of Models initialization was accepted for most items. Quiet weather is expected throughout the long term with near normal to below normal temperatures. The upper pattern will transition from troughing to ridging. At the surface, a cold front with a secondary push of cooler air will move through on Friday, but it won`t have enough moisture to work with to produce rain. Otherwise high pressure will rule at the surface.
I love the 90's don't you?
Today's high will be 91 degrees in Bloomington. Please remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated if you are outside.
Oddly enough though, the air quality is going to be pretty good today.
Grass and tree pollen are at high levels so if you have allergies, you might want to stay in.
Here is the NWS analysis for the long term: (PS: There's good news at the end if you hate the 90's!)
.NEAR TERM /Today/... Issued at 313 AM EDT Sat Jun 6 2020 A front is just to our north this morning, and this will slide southward through the area early today. No convection is expected along it, as convective temperatures appear unreachable and a strengthening subsidence inversion centered around 825 mb will keep the overall profile stable. Ample sunshine is expected across the area, and highs should be in the 80s across the area, with potential to hit the 90 degree mark across the far southern portion of the area. Blend handled this well and required no significant adjustment. && .SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/... Issued at 313 AM EDT Sat Jun 6 2020 Surface high pressure over the Great Lakes will be the dominant force across the area throughout the short term, and the strong subsidence inversion will remain in place, along with a significantly less humid airmass, making for ample sunshine and fairly pleasant conditions. Blend temperatures appeared reasonable throughout. Temperatures will still be in the 80s across the area Sunday, with the 90 degree mark potentially sneaking back into our west on Monday. && .LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/... Issued at 341 AM EDT Sat Jun 6 2020 Much of the extended period will see a transition from hot weather on Tuesday to a cooler and drier regime by late next week as the remnants of Cristobal interact with an expanding upper trough to aid in the shift in the overall pattern. The ridge aloft in place over the Ohio Valley to begin the week will be shifting to the east on Tuesday as the Cristobal remnants lift north through the Ozarks. Model guidance remains consistent in a predominantly due north track to the remnants that will keep the widespread heavy rainfall west of the forecast area with the remnant low in Wisconsin by Tuesday night and near the south end of James Bay by Wednesday afternoon. Scattered convection will become increasingly likely from west to east over central Indiana on Tuesday with the greatest risk for convection Tuesday night and Wednesday morning as a strong low level jet associated with the remnants lift through the region. Locally heavy rainfall continues as the primary threat with PWATs climbing above 2 inches. Remain concerned that potential for low topped convection in an environment with deeper BL shear and storm relative helicity may produce a conditional severe weather risk...but the timing late Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning is likely to rob available instability. A large upper level trough over the northern Plains will help to kick out the Cristobal remnants to the N/NE Wednesday while ushering in a cooler and much drier airmass for later next week. Chances for rain will end by Wednesday evening as a cold front sweeps east. An amplified upper level flow will develop across the country with the ridge centered over Texas and the deep trough over Ontario. This will place central Indiana within a dry northwest flow regime as high temperatures slip back into the mid and upper 70s by next Friday and Saturday.
