A big moon and some patchy fog. That’s our early sky story Tuesday. Today could be the warmest day of the month. Temperatures keep hitting a brick wall at 86. It’s happened twice this month, including yesterday. Expect today to be virtually identical (for older readers: “a carbon copy”) to yesterday, with a bit of a bump in heat and humidity. Our max this month in Indy has been 86, but we did make it to 93 last month. Last year’s top temp was 105. How do other cities stack up? HOTTEST 2013 VS HOTTEST 2012 SO FAR Lafayette 103 vs 93 Muncie 106 vs 92 Richmond 104 vs 92 Bloomington 106 vs 93 Don’t stop watering your flowers, but I do have a few rain chances to discuss. One comes late tonight and Wednesday, and is the product of an upper level low pressure system developing early morning today in western Illinois. It will slide southeast into Southern Indiana tonight, exiting off to the east tomorrow. Chances are slight, with the biggest chance south of Indy tonight, and east of Indy Wednesday. Our next – better – rain chance comes with an approaching front Thursday. The showers and storms could linger into the first part of Friday. After that system: a small drop in temps and humidity heading into yet another nice weekend! INDY ALMANAC: The average high today is 84 and the average low is 64. Records are 99 and 50.
