A typically steamy summer Sunday is ahead, with just scattered showers and storms. A big-time upper level low is active in Canada and the northern Great Lakes, and it will drag an upper level wave across the state through the morning and midday. That’s when we have the best chance of scattered stuff. Wave bye to the wave this afternoon, and by this evening, there should be no rain on the radar.
There are two storm chances Monday. The first round of rain would be a factor mainly for places north of Indy in the morning. That would be leftovers from a complex of storms that could fire tonight to our northwest.
The second chance comes Monday evening, and then we are into the scattered soup again through Wednesday, and I am still forecasting a spectacular Fourth, with below average temps, lots of sunshine, and not a lot of humidity.
Remember that “typically” in the first paragraph? I meant it. The forecast high today of 85 is also the average high. Two years ago today? Triple digits all over central Indiana, including a record-breaking high of 103 in Indianapolis. Typical is good for people in a parade, and Mister Weatherman would love you to wave back this afternoon at the Fishers Freedom Festival. If a shower happens to pop up – pretend you don’t know me.
INDY ALMANAC:
Today’s average high temperature is 85 and the average low is 65. Records are 103 and 48. The 103 temp was from the long hot Summer of ’12. The sunrise time is 6:20 and the sun sets at 9:17.
PAUL’S PREVIOUS PREDICTION:
Yesterday’s high was 83. My forecast was 84.
