After another wet weekend and cooler temperatures to start this week, it may be surprising to hear that conditions will be changing back to warm and dry for the next several weeks. Climate models are strongly favoring above-normal temperature throughout the rest of September with a slight favoring of below-normal precipitation. Abnormally dry conditions continue to persist in counties across northern Indiana, but the spatial extent is gradually shrinking (Figure 1). It is too soon to tell if the upcoming warm and dry outlooks will be strong enough to expand and intensify those drier areas or if a few periodic rain events will be enough to keep conditions relatively stable. Monthly (October) and seasonal (September-October-November) outlooks were released on 15 September 2022.

Cooler weather has arrived as all of the Indiana climate divisions average temperatures were 1-1.8◦F above normal, compared to the 4-6◦F above normal temperature departures from a week ago.

Last week was marked by cooler temperatures and lots of rain.
While Hurricane Ida and her remnants have wreaked havoc down south and in the mid-Atlantic states, she was relatively kind and generous when it came to Indiana. Some southern counties received between 4 and 5 inches from Ida (Figure 1).
The roller coaster ride of Indiana weather continues.
Two weekends ago, Indiana was facing freezing temperatures that broke numerous records across the state.
