1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Hammer and Nigel Do you believe these characters are weirdos? 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: So it's the Hammer and in Nigel Show, Big Nige's out, 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: Jerry Lopez is filling in. I'm Jason Hammer, and let's 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: go straight to the hotline right now and bring on 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 2: our pal, Marcus Bailey, meteorologists for WISH TV eight. Marcus, 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: it's warm, it's sunny outside, but then I see it's 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: going to be like forty tomorrow, So that tells me 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: something pretty dramatic is about to go down here. 9 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: It's never a good thing when you drop like forty 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: degrees in a matter of about eight hours. You're right, 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: kind of like Sunday, Hammer, if you remember correctly, we 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: hit Sunday afternoon, our warmest March temperature ever here in Indianapolis, 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: and we're obviously very warm again here. It's a little 14 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: humid too if you've been outside. Not crazy humidity, but 15 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: for this time of year, it's elevated. And so the 16 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: combination of all of those in the what you said, 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: that big drop in temperatures, this very sharp cold front 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: that's working in from the north, likely going to bring 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: in a line of storms. So what I've been watching 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: here over the last hour or so, just some development 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: of showers. We don't have anything real nasty currently, but 22 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: there's there's some showers going on northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Lake Michigan, 23 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: southern Michigan. There's a cold front and that's going to 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: be moving our way. The Weather Service is likely going 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: to put a watch out in some shape or form 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: here shortly as well for most of central and northern Indiana. 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: But I think we've still got another a few hours 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: to go, probably more of a mid evening eight, nine, 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: ten o'clock event for the metro area here tonight. 30 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: Okay, so we were kind of talking earlier in the show. 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: It's always this mysterious line of Interstate seventy where if 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: you live above it you might get some more action. 33 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: If you live below it, you might not see as 34 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: severe of weather. Is that the case for tonight? 35 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: It is? And then again no real explanation on why 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: the mountainous terrain of I seventies sometimes holds these storms back. 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: For this case, Hammer, it's it is about timing. By 38 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: the time the line of storms probably makes it to 39 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: the Ice seventy corridor and tries to get south, in 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: the front gets south, it's gonna be much later into 41 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: the overnight, and so you're losing a lot of this 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: eating that we have been benefiting from for much of 43 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: the day. So that's just a timing thing. But again, 44 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: I think northern half of the state's fair game and 45 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: what can be what we need to watch for, and 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: we've we've mentioned that, you know, all modes of severe 47 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: weather are possible. I do think the tornado threat is 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: more of a secondary concern. I think the biggest concern, honestly, 49 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: himmer is going to be hail. And I think you 50 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: could get some really big hail out of this. And 51 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: what do I mean by that two inch diameter hail, 52 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: which is kind of flirting with almost tennis ball size hail. 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: When you're talking the cold that's diving in back behind 54 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: this front that we will be seeing, it is much 55 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: easier for large hill to form in that regard, and 56 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: so I think that's going to be really the biggest concern. Basically, again, 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: I seventy and north and then damaging wind will be 58 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: the next threat that we need to watch out for 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: as those storms start to line out here through the 60 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: mid evening hours. 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: Hey, Marcus, this is Jerry. Tis the season in Indiana 62 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: where you where you wear your coat to the office 63 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: and you carry it on the way out. When can 64 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: we enjoy just a steady eddie summers here? Here comes 65 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: to warm weather? 66 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: Oh sometime in June. Did not want to hear that? 67 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: How about never? 68 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: That's right? I mean the way this spring is going. Man, 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: we're all over the place. It's been very active obviously already. 70 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: We've had several tornadoes, we've had crazy wind, we've had 71 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: up and down temperatures. But you don't really consist I 72 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: mean you go to the old wives sale right of 73 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: you don't plant anything until Mother's Day, which is sold 74 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: several weeks away. Right, it's well over a month away, 75 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: and that's when you finally can start consistently getting some 76 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: warmer temperatures. I'm not saying this is in the forecast guys, 77 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: but we have gotten snow in April before. 78 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: So I coached travel baseball and for the younger kids, 79 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: season starts in April, and I remember days or like 80 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: twenty degrees and we're like, we should not be playing, 81 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: and it's I'm in. 82 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: The same boat. We had. We had two games last 83 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 1: year and both of them they're early April frozen solid. 84 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: They were the worst experience ever. So yeah, I mean 85 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: it's it's a while before we can actually consistently say, okay, 86 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: we are done with the brutal cold. But that's I mean, 87 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: that's why we're you know, this is severe weather season, 88 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: right because you have so much back and forth warm cold, warm, cold, 89 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: and that it just makes the atmosphere volatile, just like 90 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: we're going to be experiencing here for tonight, and that's 91 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: why we end up being very active for March, April 92 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: and May. 93 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 3: So quick question. I live. You know, most of us 94 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: live in a city. We most for the most part, 95 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 3: I've never seen a tornado in the city, but last 96 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,119 Speaker 3: year we saw one in Carmel downtown. How does that happen? 97 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 3: Is that something like the city people really need to 98 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: be cognizant of this inclement weather or is that more 99 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 3: of a rule thing. 100 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: Well, I mean sometimes when you're talking tornadoes, you know, 101 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: they're not very large tooth scale and it is kind 102 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: of throwing, you know, a dart of the dartboard sometimes 103 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: sometimes you know, every once in a while you are 104 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: going to hit the bull side, you know, and we're 105 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: talking novice players that more often than not you're going 106 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: to be kind of surrounding that and what's surrounding the 107 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: metro rural areas. So that's why a vast majority of 108 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: tornadoes we end up having. But there's no rhyme or 109 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: reason why, you know, cities can avoid tornadoes in that regard. 110 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: I mean, you think back the last ten years, Nashville, 111 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: Tennessee has been hit very hard by a couple of 112 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 1: strong tornadoes. So certainly it's possible that metro areas cities 113 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: in particular, can it hit. So it's something that all 114 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: cities should be prepared for because I hate to be 115 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, sound like this is not a matter of if, 116 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: but when it could hit a city for sure. 117 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: Marcus Bailey, meteorologists for WISH TV, joining us. All right, Marcus, 118 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 2: give me a timeline here, give us a breakdown of 119 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 2: what we can expect. 120 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: So we'll watch these storms that again, they haven't even 121 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: crossed into northern Indiana yet. I would say we're likely 122 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: going to see storms entering Indiana, Northern Indiana up around 123 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: five or six o'clock. I think the window for the 124 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: Indie metro area is probably somewhere in the range of 125 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: seven PM to midnight, maybe seven pm to one am. 126 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: Probably I'm leaning towards the earlier window of this. I 127 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: don't think this is going to be a deep into 128 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: the overnight while everybody's sleeping type of severe weather event. 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: I'm hopeful this is going to be a mid evening, eight, nine, 130 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: ten o'clock in the metro and then we're out. Now, 131 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: I'll say this, that'll be our severe weather window. But 132 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: you heard my colleague Stephen Deanna mentioned that there was 133 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: gonna be some heavy rain that probably fills in overnight. 134 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: You may hear some rumbles overnight. I don't think we're 135 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna get anything severe out of that, but look, guys, 136 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: we could get an extra one, two, maybe extreme three 137 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: inches of rainfall by the time you wake up early 138 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. 139 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: So that's a lot of rain. That's a heavy rain maker, 140 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: it is. 141 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, that is very very every Now, thankfully 142 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: we've kind of wrung out from some of the heavy 143 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: rain that we had several weeks ago. But again, that's 144 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot in a short amount of time. To watch 145 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: out for standing water. If you're in an area that 146 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: kind of prones the flooding or standing water, just be 147 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: cognizant of that before you know, you get up early 148 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. But like I said, once we get past 149 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: ten or eleven o'clock tonight, I think the severe weather 150 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: threat is done. You'll just have some garden variety showers 151 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: and storms during the overnight hours. 152 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: Where can we get the latest coverage, Marcus H. 153 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: Of course, we're CVWISTV dot com. And then on social media. 154 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: I'll be pretty active through the night, mostly on Facebook. 155 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: Marcus Bailey Weather on. 156 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: Facebook, Marcus, my man. We appreciate you all right, Thanks Llows.
