Mother Nature is dirty dealing…dealing from a deck of low clouds that will slowly erode from south to north today. Those stratocumulus clouds are tied to a cold pool of air anchored to our northeast.
Best thing about today? The wind should stay at or around 10 mph.
Were you able to hang on to your packages yesterday? The breeze outside was as pushy as the crowds inside.

46 mph Indianapolis

West winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph will combine with temperatures 20 to 25 degrees above seasonal averages and relative humidities of 10 to 18 percent to create critical fire weather conditions across portions of southeast Wyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle on Saturday.
