Look at this map of rain yesterday and tell me I-74 is just an innocent interstate. Radar indicates as much as 3 inches of rain in between I-74 and I-65 northwest of Indy. Over an inch of rain generally fell near I-74 from up in Boone County down to Shelby County. Heavy rain also fell […]

Indiana’s Weather For Tuesday
Toto, I don’t think we’re in Indiana anymore. I think we’re in Texas–you know, everything’s BIGGER now. The Drought, the thunderstorm clouds, the temperatures… First, the Fahrenheit: Triple digits are do-able today. Let’s do some IF,THEN programming, keeping in mind my forecast high for Indy is 99.

June 2008’s Nasty Indiana Weather
I think it was the great 70s weather philosopher Roseanne Roseannadanna who said: “it’s always something.” At the moment we’re worried about air quality and grass fires.

Indiana’s Weather For Saturday
A break today from severe weather, although scattered showers and storms are still possible, mainly in the afternoon. We’re recovering today from a parade of watches, warnings, and the biggest one-day rain total in almost five months. What kind of weather closes roads? Your first guess is probably snow or ice or flash flooding. Friday […]
