New Severe Thunderstorm Watch

The new watch includes Kokomo and extends down into southern Indiana. The first round of storms are already here...

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued Overnight

It looks like some possible stormy weather in the overnight. The severe thunderstorm watch is to our north and east. (A tornado watch is to our west/northwest.) Keep your weather radios on when you go to bed after the Colts victory.

Wind Advisory (9/28)

A wind advisory was issued by the NWS beginning 8 AM Monday morning through 8 PM in the evening. Strong winds behind a cold front could gust to 40 MPH with sustained winds over 25 MPH. Blustery conditions will remain into Tuesday but will be below advisory criteria. Cooler temperatures will also arrive with a Tuesday high in the middle 50's.

Later this week a possible severe weather event across the area looks possible.

Interesting Comments From a Meteorologist on Facebook

URRRGGGHHHH - The weather map is starting to look ugly in the longer range. I see nothing but stormy weather, colder weather and Yes perhaps even the first snow flakes of the season...

Looking at the GFS a couple weeks out does show possible flakes for Indiana. I also have seen a couple of excellent winter forecasts showing a snowy winter for Indiana. :)

Cooler Weather Coming

Not surprising since it is fall but cooler weather for next week is forecast. The weather models have been showing a a deep trough down from Canada which should deliver cooler and wetter overall along the eastern third of the US. With the negative tilt and closed low, a nice severe fall outbreak is possible.

Mundane Weather Continues...

The weather pattern has been pretty boring from the perspective of a weather enthusiast. Of course for those wanting nice weather that is not to hot or cold, it has been pretty close to perfect. That pattern looks to continue for the next week.

At least some of the winter forecasts for 09-10 are starting to show up weather sites and forums. A few I have seen will make the winter weather lovers very happy. I will review them and put out a nice summary sometime in October.

Until then, I guess will will just continue to enjoy the nice weather.
