Rain’s the main thing in our Friday and weekend weather story. Chances are highest from two waves: today and tonight…and then again Sunday. It won’t be as warm as it was last weekend, but temperatures will still be above average through Sunday. Cooler air wins the battle Monday morning and that will trigger a few […]
Indiana’s Weather For Tuesday
During this week of Thanksgiving I give thanks for my years of working alongside legendary television meteorologist Bob McLain. One habit of Bob’s I noticed early was that he would actually walk outside and look up and around before a broadcast. SEEMS obvious, right? It’s very easy to spend all your time staring at monitors […]
Indiana’s Weather For Friday
Friday fog at first, but give the windshield wipers the day off. You shouldn’t need them again until next Thursday. Thursday? Yep. Not that we need it. September will go into books with twelve days of measurable precipitation, and three of those featured over an inch of rain. This is now the fifth wettest September […]
Indiana’s Weather For Friday
The Summer of 2012 is notable for a blistering stretch in June and July that brought triple digit temperatures again and again… and weeks upon weeks with no precipitation. August was a turning point. Since the first of last month Indianapolis has seen four days where the daily rainfall total exceeded an inch. We could […]
Indiana’s Weather For Wednesday
It’s been exactly two weeks since Indianapolis was in the 90s. Won’t happen today, but it will be a little warmer than yesterday. At 2am this morning the national weather charts showed the center of high pressure camped out over Angola, Indiana. And who could blame it? Nice lakes, close to Amish Country… The morning […]
Indiana’s Weather For Monday
Six of the first eight days of August in Indianapolis featured highs in the 90s. It hasn’t been above 90 again since then. (There’s something I always like to add right about now: “SHHH!”) Of course, that particular streak ended with a bang. The high August 8 was 98 degrees. It was the 49th time […]
Indiana’s Weather For Thursday
Time passages. The signs are everywhere. The sunrise doesn’t come until exactly 7am tomorrow, school buses are back on my street, and the Colts are back on TV. Our immediate weather news is the passage of a cold front that will happen sometime this evening. In front of the front: another warm day. In fact, […]
Indiana’s Weather For Tuesday
Tuesday morning fog is connected to good news. More recent rain. (Combined with a light wind and a clearing sky above the cloud at ground level.) As promised, yesterday’s makes August the (TA DA!) wettest month of 2012, so far! The .28″ of an inch at the Airport gives us a 4.20″ total for August. […]
Indiana’s Weather For Monday
Halfway through the month, and halfway to passing the record of 90+ degree days in Indianapolis. The record is 58, from 1983. Today will be the 30th day this summer. BTW: That’s 30 more than the Summer of of 2004. It should also be the 14th day of 95+ weather. We’re going to flirting with […]
Indiana’s Weather For Wednesday
Missed it by THAT much! Yesterday’s high of 93 was one degree off my prediction and one degree off the hottest day of the year so far. If at first you don’t succeed…. I’m forecasting 94 again today. And “again” is the key for today’s forecast. Again there will be a breeze, again it won’t […]
Indiana’s Weather For Monday
Summer comes to the calendar this week, and Mister Weatherman is in sync! Even when the highs “dip” Friday and Saturday—they’ll still be above average. Speaking of heat, Indy hit the highest mark of the year so far on Saturday, at 93 degrees. That record will stand. For about another day. It also rained this […]
Indiana’s Weather For Friday
Hot (if you will) off the press! A chance of showers in the middle of the heat! The last few days I’ve gazed with envy at all that white on the satellite loop. It’s spinning away in the Plains but melts as it runs into a ridge over us. That blocking high pressure ridge *may* […]
