Tonight: Much of tonight will feel more humid and muggy as Southerly winds continue to bring in more moist air and warmer temperatures. Our dew points from early midday Monday into tonight will remain in the low 60’s, making it feel more humid. The warm temperature/moist air combo creates for a more muggy warm air feeling. Surface winds will be assisted with stronger wind gusts as isobars tighten and a low-pressure system from the West shifts North. Much of tonight’s weather will stay North of us as low pressure remains in Northern Wisconsin/ Northern Michigan. Besides that, much of tonight will remain quiet for our area.
Tomorrow: Most of Tuesday will remain warm and humid with above average temperatures in the afternoon to early evening hours. Towards the afternoon, a small line of storms will come through, then retreat. A lot of the ingredients needed for severe weather will be present tomorrow as we see a surplus in moisture, instability, lift, and wind shear. Strong upper-level jet will increasingly get stronger throughout the day as well as supporting convective development. Muncie is in a level 1/5 (Marginal risk) for severe weather indicating that any of the storms that do form in our area are capable of producing hail, damaging winds, and a possible tornado. But the severe weather threat is higher towards Northwestern Indiana as a frontal boundary from up North moves in. Northern Indiana is in a level 2/5 for severe weather (Slight risk) with higher confidence in damaging winds, severe hail and even a tornado touchdown. As of right now, the leading threat from these storms will be damaging winds, but all hazards are still possible. Models show more confidence in severe storms moving through up North. For our area models show more confidence in rain showers and winds into Wednesday morning. No matter what though, always stay weather aware…
