The Coldest Day On Record In Indiana

More sub-zero temps look likely for the rest of January, but (so far!) we haven’t gone lower than what happened 20 years ago today. The morning low in Indianapolis on January 19, 1994 was 27 below zero. (We hit -15 a few weeks ago.) Indy’s had over 10 days when the temperature was -20 degrees […]

Indiana’s Weather For Tuesday

When I was a kid I really DID walk to school. (Both ways.) It was a small town. And back in the 1930s, they were walking around in relentless heat. Our triple digits have subsided. We’ve had a couple of milder weeks, but today’s record of 100 from 1936 reminds us how bottomless was that […]

Indiana’s Record Breaking July

It’s August already! So, where did Summer go? My answer: “into the record books.” The Weather Service confirms we just wrapped the hottest month for *average* temperatures in Indianapolis since they started keeping the books in the late 1800’s. When you average all the lows and highs…you get 84.0 degrees. The old record was 82.8 […]

Indiana’s Weather For Thursday

Your Cheap Meteorologist never waters his lawn in the summer. I figure it will always come back, and sure enough, after a few (small) recent showers and storms, it’s sorta kinda green again. It actually had to be mowed this week! If your’s needs trimming, you’re supposed to wait until 6pm. It’s another KnoZone Action […]

Indiana’s Weather For Monday

Monday is staring us in the face, and your weatherman is staring at the maps and the charts. I see a mid-level wave generally north of us, and surface low pressure generally south/southwest of us. Here in central Indiana, little is likely to come from either player on the double feature. Maybe a slight shower […]

Indiana’s Weather For Monday

If you want puddles today, go south. The attached radar analysis shows Sunday’s storm production of precipitation. Did summer construction season include a dome over I-70? Most of the lightest blue represents just a trace amount, which is what the Indianapolis Airport received. Still just .09″ of an inch since June 1st. It should be […]
