High pressure holds firm Friday, anchored over the Carolinas and sending southerly winds our way. That wind flow helps put central Indiana into the mid 50s today, and 60s this weekend. Come Saturday afternoon the winds will quicken and the clouds will thicken. A weak upper-level weather maker gives us a chance of some light […]
It’s August already! So, where did Summer go? My answer: “into the record books.” The Weather Service confirms we just wrapped the hottest month for *average* temperatures in Indianapolis since they started keeping the books in the late 1800’s. When you average all the lows and highs…you get 84.0 degrees. The old record was 82.8 […]

I try to avoid saying or writing “carbon copy” these days. Isn’t that like a “broken record?’ Well, today’s weather will be a near-carbon copy, and if that’s confusing, go find an older person. Indy highs will be just into the 90s and it will again be very dry. Still no new records in our […]
If you want puddles today, go south. The attached radar analysis shows Sunday’s storm production of precipitation. Did summer construction season include a dome over I-70? Most of the lightest blue represents just a trace amount, which is what the Indianapolis Airport received. Still just .09″ of an inch since June 1st. It should be […]
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the most anticipated cold front in decades! That front started Saturday positioned just south of Milwaukee Wisconsin. The expected high in that city today is 85. The cold front is heading south. So don’t throw in the towel yet. (You’ll need it today to wipe off the sweat.) Just […]
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 […]
It’s not the humidity, it’s the heat. Highs of 100 are likely Thursday, and 90+ days could easily stretch from tomorrow into Independence Day. Typically – when you are talking triple digits in our area – you’re also talking about big humidity. Not this time. Not this dry summer, where we can’t seem to make […]
Back to work, and back to the 80s today, for the first time since Friday. A weak cold front goes through in the morning, bringing an early to mid morning period of some (much needed) showers and storms to central Indiana. Radar will then grow quiet, and you can have lunch outside today, unless you’re […]
Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy weather ride. Showers started the day in parts of central Indiana. It’s possible that the weather woke you at some point. The best morning chances will come north and east of Indianapolis. There should be a break after that batch, then Ma Nature starts cooking […]
