It’s a Big Ten weather day. Today is the tenth consecutive day of big temps at or above average in Indy. The trend won’t end until the day after St. Patrick’s Day. You’ll have a Spring hangover Friday.
Rain returns today, with the biggest chances from around 8am to 7pm. Another quarter to a third of an inch of rain is possible.
Add that to these totals since last Wednesday:
2.19″ Muncie
1.37″ Bloomington
1.34″ Indy
1.10″ Lafayette
1.06″ Terre Haute
And add it to precip that will arrive with thunderstorms that could be severe Tuesday evening. The biggest threat is from damaging wind.
