An upper air disturbance dusted some of central Indiana last night and early this morning. It’s a small reminder of our big winter that is not finished yet. Indianapolis just recorded a trace of snow, but there were reports of around an inch north of Indy. There is still a chance of a few rain […]
Thursday+Friday Morning Rain Totals
Indiana’s Weather For Sunday
expected. A cold front passes through the state this afternoon. That should keep places northwest of Indianapolis around 50, but mid 50s looks possible in the metro area. As the front advances the rain chance will be concentrated in the southeast half of Indiana by evening. The biggest chance for precipitation will be gone by […]
Indiana’s Weather For Wednesday
Sandy’s remnants are fading in Pennsylvania today, but the storm system still haunts the Halloween weather maps. A few showers are possible today, especially in the morning, and especially to the northeast of Indianapolis, enhanced by Lake Michigan. That’s the Lake that saw waves in excess of 20 feet yesterday. There’s over 700 miles between […]

Indiana’s Weather For Saturday
If nothing else, it now won’t be the driest month EVER in Indianapolis – just the driest June. The Indy Airport was brushed by a huffing, puffing wind storm. Google “derecho” and you’ll see plenty of stories about yesterday’s storm complex that marched through several states. I’ve had a few folks on Twitter and Facebook […]
Indiana’s Weather For Thursday
Today’s weather movie: “My Big Fat High Pressure System.” This large high will dominate our forecast for the next week. For today the high is centered over the Great Lakes, and the clockwise flow from out of it will send a dry easterly wind our way. That high will shift tomorrow, and the wind will […]
Indiana’s Weather For Friday
Is your sidewalk still wet? Indy’s official overnight rainfall total was just under two-tenths of an inch. The Eagle Creek Airport was closer to four-tenth of an inch. That’s the most rain recorded since the showers and storms on the night of St. Patrick’s Day last Saturday. I think the morning showers will continue to […]

Snow showers or flurries are possible Monday in central Indiana. A dusting is possible roughly east of a line […]
How Cold Was It?
Mrs. P snapped that shot in the front yard of the Studio B Compound Saturday morning. Frost was everywhere as Indiana got the first Arctic air of December. These lows go to eleven! That was the Saturday morning reading in Peru and South Bend. It got down to 13 in Marion, 14 in Lafayette, 15 […]
