4-7pm in when the sever weather arrives.

The weather in the Bloomington area will be most dangerous between 4p -7p tomorrow evening.

Severe storms are possible tomorrow, Wednesday April 5, 2017.

I would expect to see some severe weather watches posted for southeastern Indiana tomorrow. You will definitely want to pay attention to the weather all day tomorrow. The entire state is under a risk of some kind for strong storms.

Rain and strong storms possible today.

The SPC has southern Indiana in an Enhanced risk for storms today.

The first day of spring is here.

We made it! Winter is officially over but be prepared for any kind of weather this week. During this week we will see a high temperature of 68 and a low 27. There's sunny days and rainy days. I would bring an umbrella and a jacket each day of the week just to be on the safe side.

NWS 7-day forecast.

I hoped everyone learned from that little experience.

On Monday 3/6/17, the models were suggesting any where from 8-12 inches of snow for this coming Saturday. Now they are suggesting sunny skies for this coming Saturday. Does that mean we will not see any snow this weekend? Nope. Does it mean we're getting the big one? Nope. It simply means that models are not in agreement this far out and so the information they give should not be trusted. Wait until late Thursday night or Friday morning before you trust the forecast.

The rumor mill is running strong for an event this coming weekend.

Be careful about reading exaggerated snow amounts for this weekend. A lot can change and there's still a high degree of uncertainty. Most of the systems passing through out area have put us in the warm sector. They were so strong that they pulled up enough warm air ahead of the cold front that the event was largely a rain event before changing over to a brief period of snow. That has been the predominant pattern for our area this year.
