More southern storms, and – as of Tuesday morning – another 60 tornado reports had come into the Storm Prediction Center. Here in Indiana the biggest factor so far has been rain. Here are the precipitation totals from Monday:
1.46″ Bloomington
1.03″ Terre Haute
1.00″ Shelbyville
0.87″ Muncie
0.64″ Indianapolis
0.32″ Lafayette
Showers are storms should rotate into central Indiana again by the afternoon rush hours today. We will see more sunshine today, and get to our high temperature faster. The breeze will increase this afternoon and the sunshine will self-destruct. The biggest threat is from damaging winds. Tornadoes could break out again today in the Deep South.
Things settle down tomorrow through Friday, with lots of clouds and cooler than average highs. A few stray showers are possible. I still think the Track will be dry for Mini Marathon participants Saturday, with temps warming through the 50s.
WIKI-POTEETIA: Today will be the sixth (and last) consecutive day of above average temperatures this year, and that’s our longest streak so far.
INDY ALMANAC:
The average high today is 68 and the average low is 47. Records are 86 and 31. The sun rises at 6:48 and sets at 8:37.
