Evansville, Indiana

Hey, look, it’s a forecast! After a lengthy time away from the site forecasts, let’s see if we still remember how to do this.

At 1154AM, CT, Evansville was reporting clear skies with a temperature of 72 degrees. The region was in some clear, dry air in the wake of a rainy cold front that moved through yesterday afternoon. Low pressure continued to spiral over Michigan, and it will be pressed northward as Tropical Storm Philippe heads towards New England. The thermal trough will swing south today and overnight, with tomorrow morning landing as the chilliest morning of the season, with Sunday being even chillier.
Philippe will merge with the Great Lakes low and start to occlude and retrograde. The persistent northwest winds will keep temperatures down, and the moisture continuing to wrap between the two features and slowly into Indiana. This will lead to some overcast throughout the weekend, and temperatures closer to autumnal.
Tomorrow – Mostly sunny, High 63, Low 44
Sunday – Mostly cloudy, High 64, Low 42

TWC: Tomorrow – Sunny. High 63, Low 45

This is what I believe many in the US would call football weather. There is a nice swath of sunny skies over southern Indiana today.

We made it through the most stressful month of hurricane season, and are moving into at a breakneck pace towards winter. I think autumn and the beginning part to winter are the hardest seasons to forecast for. Those first snow storms are impossible to get right. Wish us all luck

Enjoy the heat!

It’s one last blast of summer for the Central Plains, with record heat cancelling the Twin Cities Marathon yesterday, hours before it was scheduled to start. This incredible warmth is only hear for a little bit longer though. By the end of the week, places like Great Falls and Bismarck are going to be playing footsie with the freezing line in the mornings.

September Forecaster of the Month

We were light on formal forecasts in September, but that doesn’t take away from how big a weather time it was, from flooding rains to tropical storms, we covered a lot of ground. Of course, not much for the verified forecasts, but that’s fine, and it worked out well for Clime, who took the top spot for the month.
