UPDATE: Sun’s winning the battle today, so “partly cloudy” is fine for the forecast. I credit the Colts. Every home game this season seems to bring out the sun. PP NETWORK TODAY: Partly cloudy. High of 40 in South Bend (will anyone be talking about weather today in South Bend?) The high will be 42 […]
There’s a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in the southern half of the state until midnight, with the biggest threats coming from large hail and damaging wind. A line of storms is moving into southwest Indiana, the area of the state still suffering the most from the Drought. Up to two inches of rain had already fallen […]
Storms Thursday night in southern Indiana racked up big precipitation totals. Click here for the full size radar rain analysis.. Evansville’s Airport measured 2.31 inches. Most of that came in one hour. That’s the biggest one-day total in Evansville this year. It was almost as much as the city got the entire month of July, […]
If you look up “feast or famine” in the dictionary you might get the attached chart that indicates Saturday rainfall. Up to five inches fell in Warren county, which is just west of Lafayette. Lafayette itself only picked up .15″ of an inch, but that’s .15″ more than *I* got. “Da Region” got a good […]
Summer comes to the calendar this week, and Mister Weatherman is in sync! Even when the highs “dip” Friday and Saturday—they’ll still be above average. Speaking of heat, Indy hit the highest mark of the year so far on Saturday, at 93 degrees. That record will stand. For about another day. It also rained this […]
Hot (if you will) off the press! A chance of showers in the middle of the heat! The last few days I’ve gazed with envy at all that white on the satellite loop. It’s spinning away in the Plains but melts as it runs into a ridge over us. That blocking high pressure ridge *may* […]
Beautiful blue sky again today, with the biggest difference being a cooler start. Think “50s” instead of “60s.” Relative humidity levels are WAY down again. With the expected afternoon heat, and deepening drought, small fires will again be a concern. The Indy rain total for the month so far? Are you ready? Drumroll! Five-one-hundredths of […]
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 […]
Patchy fog at first for Tuesday. Credit yesterday’s rain, combined with skies that started to clear overnight. Not a bad day otherwise. Biggest difference you’ll notice is the drop in humidity behind yesterday’s rain-making cold front. That front produced about half an inch of rain later in Indianapolis, and another day in the 80s. All […]
The wicked wind of April is back today, but it will be tamed. Gusts up to around 25mph are expected. The peak gust in Indy yesterday was 44mph. Today will be the fourth consecutive day of below normal temperatures in Indianapolis. We haven’t seen that since the first half of February. We will get *closer* […]
