It was a DRY heat. Thursday afternoon’s relative humidity at Indianapolis was in the teens. That was lower than Vegas, baby. VEGAS! The city in the desert is going to 103 today. We’re “only” getting to the mid 90s. But it won’t be a dry heat anymore. Higher dew points are pushing in from the […]
Indiana’s Weather For Wednesday
High temperatures today return to the 90s, but it’s just a…warm-up act. A Heat Advisory and Fire Weather Watch are already in place for central Indiana and Indianapolis Thursday. The Heat Advisory specifically rolls from 11am -9pm. The elevated fire danger is sparked (if you will) by the ongoing drought. This year it’s not the […]

Indiana’s Weather For Monday
Two triggers for rain today. A big upper level system grazing mainly the eastern half of the state early, and a cold front at the surface that should move through a little after midnight. That will close the faucet again for the work week, unfortunately. Today’s potential precipitation isn’t impressive: between a tenth and a […]
Indiana’s Weather For Sunday

The relative humidity was down to 28% at one point in Indianapolis Saturday afternoon. That’s pretty low, but we can’t compete with Phoenix, which had a relative humidity of 7% yesterday. The […]
Indiana’s Weather For Thursday
This should be the hottest day of the year so far in Indianapolis. So far, 84 has been the magic number. We hit it on March 21, April 3, and that’s where the thermometer stopped yesterday. It was three degrees shy of the record. (And my forecast.) I think there will be less clouds around […]
Indiana’s Weather For Monday
Wind is the story today and tomorrow, and a Freeze Watch is already in place for Indianapolis late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Today will be similar to Easter Sunday. Expect highs in the mid 60’s, and big breezes whipping around some very dry air. Afternoon relative humidity could fall to around 25 percent. Put the […]
Indiana’s Weather For Thursday
Think of today as a “60s sandwich” in between the 75 degree high of Wednesday and the expected high of 72 Friday. It will be nice again today, but it won’t be as warm or as windy in Indy. The breeze will be about 10mph from the northeast. The peak wind gust yesterday was 38mph […]
