Weekend Outlook. The Cold Returns By Monday!

Well, the weather pattern has been a little out of whack the past few days! With temperatures above average and rain instead of snow. Well, I'm here to tell you all that this is about to change once again. However not before we see some more rainfall in our forecast.

Yesterdays high was 38° degrees. And our average highs is only around 33° degrees. This means we were a good 5° degrees above our average high. Now our lows have been running around 33° degrees which is the average high for this time of year. The average low is around 17° degrees. So we have been running a good 16° degrees above our average low. We need to get things back in order. The more things get pulled out of whack the harder they snap back. And that could be the case starting next week temperature - wise. Just take a look at this map I have put together for you below.
As you can see we will look for the middle 40s to set in over the next few days. Then starting Monday we will start to see temperatures fall back around normal to slightly below average. By late next week we could be looking for highs in the upper teens with lows falling around 10° degrees possible! However this is looking into late next week.

Also we will be seeing some more rain enter the forecast before some snow to start the work week. Yes, rain is on the way starting later on this evening into Sunday. Today I don't look for an all day rain as it would start later on this evening however Sunday will be a wet one for much of the day. So between This evening and Sunday I look for rainfall between a half inch and three quarters of an inch possible. The rain could be heavy at times so a few locally higher amounts are possible in areas. Now lets take a look at the Weekend forecast below.
Yes, the weather watchers will be watching some rainfall as we get ready to cheer on the Colts in the AFC Championship and also to the Superbowl!! It's a good thing we have a dome in Indianapolis so the game won't be a wash out! However I really don't think fans would mind a bit lol. I know I would be out there in the rain cheering them on! I look for highs to be in the middle to upper 40s on Sunday for the game along with some scattered rain showers. Lows will be in the lower 30s and falling! Yes, it will be cold! Then heading into the work week we may see some of this scattered rain change over to some scattered snow showers. However I don't look for it to add up to much.

So good bye rain and we will welcome the snow and cold back with open arms!! :D Well, some more then others as I know a lot of you would like Spring already ;)

Anyway, Stay warm starting Monday and also stay dry! Enjoy your weekend and I'll check back soon...

GO COLTS!!

For those of you waiting on spring, my mother-in-law lives just east of Pensacola and she says the robins are back. So it shouldn't be long. Sounds like an early spring since they don't usually return until mid-February.

Happy Saturday!
