Mostly sunny and mid 80s through the weekend!
Happy April first. So…about March? That “lion” thing was a big lie this year, at least in Indy. The first day of the March came in like a chilly lion, with a third of an inch of rain, a trace of snow, and a peak wind gust of 42 mph. The last day? A third of an inch of rain, and a peak wind gust of 37 mph.
THURSDAY RAINFALL
0.37″ Lafayette
0.34″ Indy
0.21″ Bloomington
0.14″ Muncie
0.04″ Terre Haute
Not as much rainfall as Wednesday. The two-day totals were generally a little over an inch across much of central Indiana.
It appears most of central Indiana was above average on March precipitation. The first couple of events in April will be on the lighter side. Slight chances this afternoon:
Neither produces more than a tenth of an inch. Today’s chance is from an upper air disturbance and tomorrow’s is from a nasty little cold front, whipping up even bigger breezes for Saturday.
