Sticky weather sticks around for the rest of the week, and the only weather drama revolves around the day’s top temperatures. Is *this* the day Indy crosses the line, and has its first 90 degree day? We’d been above 100 several times already last year. Shelbyville made it 90 yesterday. Valparaiso made it to 90. Goshen got to 92. Indy, however, stalled at 88. The highs were 89 in Lafayette and Muncie, and 88 in Terre Haute and Bloomington. I’m going generally about two degrees warmer with the forecast today, based on the upper air bubble of high pressure inching closer toward us. Computer models are insisting on pop up afternoon storms, but near the same area of high pressure yesterday the radar stayed quiet. So this human will overrule those computers. The high’s grip should weaken a bit by Thursday, so perhaps some precipitation in the afternoon on a scattered basis. The best chance still doesn’t arrive until Friday night and Saturday with a cold front. The front is expected to sink southward enough for a nice Sunday, but stay tuned for stalling. A Sunday shower chance could still happen. Indy is running about an inch behind on precip for the month, and 1.8 degrees behind on average temperatures.
