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
Sunday – Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 66, Low 41

AW: Tomorrow – Partly sunny and cooler High 63, Low 45
Sunday – Plenty of sunshine High 67, Low 40

NWS: Tomorrow – Sunny, High 62, Low 44
Sunday – Mostly sunny, High 65, Low 40

WB: Tomorrow – Sunny, High 60, Low 45
Sunday – Mostly sunny, High 64, Low 44

WN: Tomorrow – Mostly sunny, High 62, Low 44
Sunday – Mostly sunny, High 66, Low 40

CLI: Tomorrow – Sunny, High 63, Low 45
Sunday – Partly cloudy, High 66, Low 43

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.

Winter, like it or not, is around the corner

In some parts of the country, the countdown to sub-freezing temperatures is on. There is already snow in the forecast for higher peaks out west. The clock is ticking for people that are still soaking up the last bits of summer like weather. The brief sojourn through autumn only brings us one place: Winter.

Temperatures are usually all over the place, even if there is a general trend to a season. Even on the warmest winters, I only remember the coldest days, for example. What really separates winters is how much snow you get through the chilly season.

The beginning of 2024 remains to be seen, but to conclude the 2023, CPC’ has the outlook for those final three months. ‘s outlook doesn’t suggest anything too out of the ordinary.

If you were here earlier, you’ll remember that the Gulf Coast was in a drought, and a sloppy fall will help that. Don’t expect a lot of major early season systems, but there will be a few, emerging in the high Plains and headed for the Great Lakes. There will be snow, but not blizzards.

This is, of course, a look at October through December. For those that aren’t ready for summer, at least in the eastern two thirds of the country, the end of September and the beginning of October are going to be notably warmer than normal.

A pause for now

Ophelia was a soaker on the East Coast earlier this week, but right now there are two disturbances in the Atlantic basin, and neither are expected to significantly impact American interests. Tropical Storm Phillippe is going to diminish as he winds into the northern Antilles, and the next area that the NHC is monitoring is expected to spiral into the open ocean, bothering nobody.
