The monthly rain total at the Indy Airport is now up to 6.60 inches. That total would be the eighth highest on record for an August. And there is more possible this afternoon. The ongoing, tropical air mass could contribute to heavy rain with any thunderstorms that develop today. That tropical air mass will also contribute to a heat index in the mid 90s this afternoon. What will it take to change all this? A cold front should push through Wednesday, and dew point temperatures should drop to comfortable levels Thursday through at least Saturday of Labor Day Weekend.
