Back to work and school…and heat and humidity. The heat index could reach the mid 90s today and the mid to upper 90s tomorrow. Here’s a chart of forecast heat index numbers for 5pm eastern today. A couple of isolated showers or storms could fire either this afternoon or Wednesday afternoon. Scattered showers and storms are possible Thursday and likely Friday. A few (unpredicted) showers moved across the state Monday afternoon, dropping 0.05″ on the Airport, for the first few drops of the month. The weather for the rest of the week will feature temps above average, but certainly not unprecedented. In fact, just last September there were 7 days of 90+ in Indy. Of course, that followed an August with NO days of 90, quite unlike what we just completed. If we get to 90 today in Indy, it will be the 28th time this year. We only made it 30 times in the years of 2013, 2014 and 2015 combined. PAUL’S PREVIOUS PREDICTION Yesterday’s high was 89 in Indy. My forecast was 87.
