We are only ever so slightly updating our forecast information from our last one. We are going from one state to the next, and not even changing the name of the town.

At 756PM, ET, Bloomington was reporting cloudy skies with a temperature 76 degrees. Thunderstorms were popping up from Shoals southeast towards Sellersburg, and they were generally moving away from Bloomington. High pressure is building over the Great Lakes, pushing the last vestiges of a cold front south and across the Ohio River. This should lead to some stability and fairly clear skies tomorrow in Bloomington.
The ridge is small in territory, but will be an effective shepherd, pushing any rising moisture around it and to the east, away from Bloomington. The remainder of the week will be dry for this tract of southern Indiana, but heat will start moving back in even behind the cold front.

Not sure why there is rain in the forecast this morning, but there was some south of town late in the evening. I tried to save an image, but it was corrupted, and now there is nothing going on.

It was a very stormy Monday night for northern Illinois, as a derecho swept through, touching nearly every location in the state. Here’s hoping that things return to Normal in the Bloomington area soon.

At 956AM, CT, Bloomington was reporting clear skies and a temperature of 60 degrees, a pleasant morning in the middle of what has been a warm, wet summer. Flow aloft is weak across the country, which will allow things to warm up under the sun, but humidity through the day should remain comfortable.
High pressure will continue to hold through today and to start the weekend on Saturday, however an upper level trough is then expected to rotate in from the Upper Midwest. A mostly disorganized batch of energy will tap into the Gulf of Mexico, pulling in a steady rise in moisture, and contributing to clouds and the potential for a few isolated storms on Sunday evening. These storms won’t match those seen on Monday, instead functioning as weak pop up cells that will end afternoon picnics a bit early.

Look at me, Mr. Negative. I do have warmer temperatures, because it’s July and the sun is out, and I am the only outlet with rain in the forecast. It’s been so wet, why slow down now? Satellite imagery is pretty clear.

Let’s just keep piling on forecasts. Right now, let’s head to the home of my alma mater’s number 1 basketball rival, Bloomington, home of the (barf) Indiana Hoosiers.

At 153AM, ET, Bloomington was reporting fair skies with a temperature of 67 degrees. Indiana was enjoying a quiet night, however a weak warm front was proving active over Lake Michigan, with a cold front dangled through the Plains and touching off a broken line of severe weather west of the Mississippi. Dew points were in the 60s across Indiana, and ahead of any advancing showers or storms, Sunday will be humid.
The actual wet weather is going to take until early Monday morning, perhaps in the predawn, to arrive in Bloomington. The timing suggests storms will be rain producers, but won’t necessarily bear a severe threat. The boundary will be a fair sight weaker than it is showing tonight, and will disorganize before arriving. This means that Bloomington will likely have a threat for a shower or thunderstorm throughout the day as the region becomes modestly destabilized, rather than withstanding the sharp transition of a front.

Monday – Scattered showers and thunderstorms. High 84, Low 69

The weekend looks ok, but the workweek starts dreary. That qualifies as a good forecast, right?
