WATCH: Saturday Severe Weather Threat

(Click here for severe weather update.) Storms late this afternoon could fire to the west and southwest of Indy, and there’s a chance that storms could produce severe weather from around Indy down to the Ohio River through the evening. Those mint juleps could get watered down at Churchill Downs. Here’s the update, via Interactive […]

Indiana’s Weather For Thursday

Oh look! Some clouds! OK, you gotta go to the Ohio River to get them, but they are there. Those are associated with a cutoff circulation in the upper atmosphere which isn’t really going anywhere today. So if you live in central Indiana and *you’re* not going anywhere today…enjoy the sun show. As that upper […]

The lack of even a chance of scattered storms is courtesy high pressure at the surface, anchored most of today over Illinois. Just some fair weather […]

Coldest January In 32 Years

The average Indy temp in January was 20.1 That’s 8 degrees cooler than average, and the coldest January since 1982. It ties for the 11th coldest January on record. Now – while the memory is fresh – imagine last month with about half as much heat. THAT is why Hoosiers still talk about the (dramatic […]
