Temperatures continue a slow upward creep today. Since Sunday the Indy high has gone from 69 to 72 to 77, and it should hit the upper 70s today. Richmond and Muncie will see the mid 70s. Highs will be around 80 in Lafayette, Terre Haute and Bloomington. An area of mid/upper level low pressure still spins just to our south. Before it moves away this afternoon it will do some cloud-creating in the morning. Showers are possible from around Bloomington southward. High pressure from Canada will then get a grip on our weather from tonight through Saturday. The story will be sunshine! And above average temperatures. Our Sunday visitor is a cold front, and the chances for rain from that front are looking stronger at any point during the day Sunday. It would be our first really rainy weekend day in some time. Even behind that front temperatures will only fall to average levels. All indications point to normal, or above normal temperatures continuing through the middle of October. If you like cold weather (this reporter famously doesn’t) you’ll be happy to note that Christmas is only three months away today. And the average first date of 32 degree weather is less than a month away. That day in Indianapolis is October 16. It’s October 9 in Lafayette, and October 12 in Muncie and Richmond. Meanwhile, Mister Weatherman can always escape to Bloomington, where the average first 32 degree temp holds off until October 24. INDY ALMANAC: The average high today is 74 and the average low is 52.
