70 Terre Haute, Lafayette
Cold front number one arrives from the northwest this afternoon. A few showers and storms will be around. These charts represent 3pm and 9pm. (Graphics via WeatherBell.)
Still gonna be windy today. The breeze will ease tonight, and temperatures will start coming back to earth behind the cold front.

35 mph Indy, Terre Haute
33 mph Muncie
32 mph Lafayette
31 mph Bloomington
BTW: Record highs were tied yesterday in Lafayette (82) and broken (by one degree) in Muncie, where it reached 83. Cold front number two arrives tomorrow evening. This chart shows it approaching from the northwest at 8pm, while cold front number one is stalled just to the southeast. This all means plenty of rain and maybe some thunder. Chances begin Wednesday afternoon, and peak Wednesday night and Thursday.On this date in Indiana weather history: in 1989, the earliest measurable snowfall occurs at #Indy when 0.2" falls. #INwx
