Another tricky day for you, if you’re trying to time the thunder. The best chance appears to again be Indy southward, meaning Lafayette and Muncie may stay quieter than Bloomington and Terre Haute. I do think the approach of upper level low pressure today means the coverage will be wider and the clouds thicker this afternoon. That means high temps will be a few degrees lower, but generally above average numbers will continue until at least next Wednesday. Humidity will be up this weekend. That means mugginess at the Broad Ripple Art Fair. Headed to Speedway? Scattered showers and storms still possible on Pole Day. The threat should diminish by late afternoon or early evening. The threat should be gone by Bump Day, and high temperatures will respond by returning to the low 80s. Speaking of the track, VERY EARLY projections for Race Day look great, with sunshine and highs in the low or mid 70s. The threat of any organized severe weather still looks think until maybe the middle of next week. INDY ALMANAC: The average high today is 73 and the average low is 53. Records are 90 and 36. The sunrise time is 6:29 and the sun sets at 8:55. PAUL’S PREVIOUS PREDICTION: Yesterday’s high was 79. My forecast was 81.
