I don’t know about the stock market but I can promise temperatures will rebound today. All of central Indiana should be above average, and then close to it Saturday, and then – below it on Sunday. March Madness in the Tournament Of Temperatures.
Highs today hit the mid to upper 50s north and east of Indy, including 58 in Lafayette, 56 in Muncie, and 57 in Richmond. It will get to the low to mid 60s from Terre Haute over to Columbus. The wind will be gusting to 35 mph this afternoon.
Clouds will increase later this afternoon as cold front number one approaches. Some computer modeling scenarios point to a few sprinkles popping during the tail end of afternoon rush hour and the start of the evening. Don’t cancel your run.
Behind that front, a little lower on the temps Saturday, but still a nice day. Cold front number two arrives Saturday night. Combine that front with circulation around a big system of low pressure to our south Sunday, and you get clouds, highs in the mid 30s, and a few rain and/or snow showers. The best chances remain from Indy southward.
I still think the Parade will be dry and cold Monday. Rain is a good bet by Tuesday night into Wednesday. Spring is even a safer bet Thursday, at least on the calendar. That first day will be uneventful – and a little below average. One outta two ain’t bad.
