At the risk of sounding like a broken record…we may break a record today. The present Indy high temp record is 78, and my forecast is 75. The record dates back to 1983, which btw was another (1982-1983) El Nino Winter in the US.
The chart below shows the other records in place for March 4th presently.
There is now a marginal risk of severe weather (large hail and damaging wind gusts) west of Lafayette late tonight and overnight.
The system will lose some energy moving into the state Tuesday morning, but morning drive will feature rain and some rumbles of thunder. This is computer modeling for 7am Tuesday.
