Thanksgiving is looking warm. December is looking cold.

As it stands right now, the long range CFS model has high temperatures in the 50's to near 60 for the week of Thanksgiving. And that it gets really cold for the first week of December.






Indiana drought limited fall foliage.

The Indiana drought status is abnormally to moderately dry throughout the state. This caused our fall colors to be a bit off this year but here are some good pictures:










Severe weather tomorrow but are you ready for snow?

Snow and cold air are beginning to show in the long range CFS model.


But before we get to that, we might see some rotating supercell Thursday (10/15) evening between 5pm and 9pm.


90 degrees today and it's October 13.

I got it wrong! I thought we were done with the 90 degree heat but today we will reach 90 degrees in southern Indiana.

The Super El Nino is going make forecasting very difficult. There wont be anything normal about the weather for the next six months.



Prepare for roller coaster October.

90 degrees tomorrow.

Frost Saturday night into Sunday.

Storms on Thursday, mainly over the southern third of Indiana.

Will Isaias become the first hurricane of the season?

It looks like tropical storm Isaias will become our first hurricane of the season. The National Hurricane Center has already posted a Hurricane Watch for the northern Gulf Coast from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi to Indian Pass, Florida.

The storm is going to travel north and fizzle out just south of Bloomington, Indiana on Sunday at 8:00am.







The Kelvin Wave in California and Snow Chances in Indiana.

Kelvin waves are massive, slow-moving pulses of warm water that travel deep beneath the ocean's surface along the equator or a coastline. One is expected to hit California between now and October 15th. Once it arrives, it will raise sea levels by as much as six inches to a foot. 


Closer to home, there are chances for snow showing in the long range forecast models. 




#BOTS!



Fall has arrived!

The good news is that the 90+ degree heat is gone. The bad news is that the cooler weather comes with cloud cover and rain and drizzle.

Montana is set to get snow on October 4th.



The week of October 18 -24 looks interesting for Indiana.



As the Super El Nino strengthens, I think the weather models are going to be highly unpredictable. So find your favorite weather person and listen to their analysis.






Fall starts in 6 days!

It won't feel like it until the first day of fall. After that it will cool down.

But the good news (or the bad news depending on who you are) is that the 90+ degree heat ends after next week.


What is the real temperature outside right now?

 3:00pm from Weather dot com.



Heat wave and then a cool down and then a heat wave again.

The intense heat wave is not over yet. After topping out at 98 degrees today, temperatures will fall for the weekend but beware, the heat wave will retrun.

September 13 through September 16 looks very dangerous.
