We’re going to celebrate Throwback Thursday by sending the high temperature back to what would be typical…on the first of April. But don’t stress – we are back to around average this weekend and then above average all next week.
BTW, April’s average in Indy is 0.2 inches of snow. We had 0.3. Ta-da! (The average for May is a “trace.” Ta-da!)
Highs yesterday, as expected, were warmer in Richmond and Muncie (65) than Lafayette (57.) The range will narrow today, and most of the state should get to the mid and upper 50s. The best chance for sun today will be in the morning, with clouds filling in at times and some spotty light showers or sprinkles in the afternoon, along with a wind gusting to 30 mph. Radar will go quiet again late tonight until one more shot at skimpy showers Friday afternoon.
Running the Mini Saturday? I’ve been promising nice weather all week, and I still have your back. (But not the rest of you, so feel free to carbo-load today.) Race time temps should move from the upper 40s into the upper 50s, with a southwest wind around 10 mph. The sky will be partly to mostly sunny.
I do suspect we’ll see more clouds Sunday, but I’m keeping that forecast dry for now. Next week: big ridge develops and high temperatures jump to the 70s and 80s all week. Things look quiet until about Friday, when storms could threaten. Here’s good news: the Storm Prediction Center sees no severe weather looming over the next week.
