No big weather changes today, although the temps should return to the 80s. Yesterday’s high of 77 in Indy gave this year’s Independence Day the distinction of being exactly 25 degrees cooler than last year’s holiday. I had brats on the grill yesterday. The weather menu for the 5th of July has Indiana sandwiched between a Bermuda high pressure system well off the East Coast, and upper level low pressure around Missouri. Between the two systems: plenty of Gulf Of Mexico moisture streaming northward. You’ll feel that today. As far as anything to trigger showers or storms: not much today. A mid-level system (not to be confused with a mid-level manager) will move into the area tomorrow, so I think there might be a little more rain/storm action on radar tomorrow. The chance is smaller again Sunday. Next big event? A cold front arrives Wednesday, with good precipitation chances. INDY ALMANAC: The average high today is 85 and the average low is 66. Records are 103 (from last year) and 49. The sunrise time is 6:23 and the sun sets at 9:16. PAUL’S PREVIOUS PREDICTION: Yesterday’s high was 77. My forecast was 78.
