Hello, high! A cold front pushed south through the state late Monday and now we yield to high pressure that will be large and in charge into the weekend. Temperatures will be averaging about ten degrees below normal the next few days. Not much widespread rain fell from that front. Lafayette was the luckiest, with .48″ of an inch. Terre Haute managed .01″ and there was nothing reported in Muncie, Indy, and just a trace fell in Bloomington. The latest rain puts Lafayette at 1.73″ for the month, and a little above average. Most other places are drier than normal. Muncie’s seen 1.18″ this month and Indy’s logged only .85″ of an inch. The observation site just northwest of Richmond has measured 1.93″ for August so far. Whatever you got is what you get through at least Saturday. We might see some showers by Sunday if upper level low pressure spins into the area and sets up shop. Meanwhile, enjoy the break, and some night time lows in the 40s tonight and tomorrow night in the northern half of the state. INDY ALMANAC: The average high today is 84 and the average low is 65.
