Tuesday/Mid Afternoon

Showers and a few isolated thunderstorms are beginning to move into our region. The steadier heavier rain will arrive early this evening and last for a good portion of the night time hours...

Later tonight I will talk about the potential for some severe weather Thursday, and a couple of systems next week may bring us some snow and or rain. Winter isn't giving up yet...stay tuned!

NEXT POSTING: Around 10 or 11 P.M.

OK, now for our weather...

I hope everyone enjoyed the weather today, because showers and thunderstorms will move back into the region tomorrow night. Most of tomorrow should be dry, and the warmer weather will continue. Temperatures before the rain arrives will range from middle 60's (in Southern Indiana) to upper 60's (Kentucky). So all in all, if you have plans in the morning and afternoon, only an isolated shower is possible. The heavier rain and possibly a thunderstorm will arrive between 6 and 8 tomorrow evening. The rain should last through most of tomorrow night.

On Wednesday, temperatures will be cooler, but not bitterly cold. We will only see temps drop about 10 degrees into the upper 50's, which is below normal for this time of year.

On Thursday a more vigorous system will make it's way toward Kentuckiana. Right now it looks to bring non-severe thunderstorms to the area, but IF a more westward and northward track can be realized...the severe weather threat will increase. The 4-8 day SPC outlook map is below...right now they are forecasting the severe weather to stay south of us...
