If you can’t stand the heat, get out before the next sentence. I think above average temperatures will continue through the weekend. Storms also return to our forecast by the evening. Highs today will be around 90 all over central Indiana. Indianapolis and Richmond were the “coolest” of the larger reporting stations yesterday.
HIGHS TUESDAY:
91 Terre Haute
90 Muncie, Bloomington, South Bend
89 Lafayette
88 Indianapolis, Richmond
The Storm Prediction Center has much of central Indiana under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms later today. The risk starts in northern Indiana during the afternoon around Lafayette over to Muncie and slowly slips southward toward the rest of central Indiana by this evening.
If none of *those* storms gain traction, another upper level wave moves through overnight and early morning Thursday, so: there’s another storm chance. Scattered storms are possible at any time Thursday or Friday, but it won’t be constant.
The chance for storms is looking pretty slim Saturday, but it increases again Sunday. By Tuesday we should be done with the steamy/stormy pattern.
