SUMMER HEAT IS BACK!

After a very long period of temperatures that felt more like fall over the past several weeks, today was the first day in a long time that is actually felt like summer is supposed to. Official high in Indianapolis reached 86, which is actually a couple degrees above normal.

Tomorrow's forecast literally looks like a carbon repeat of today. Patchy morning fog, mostly sunny skies, with highs in the middle 80's. Humidity will be a bit higher than we saw today however.

Humidity will really be on the rise Wednesday-Friday. With a better flow from the gulf, some summer-time thunderstorms may pop-up with the main storm chances favoring folks in the southeast half of Indiana. Some of you may see locally heavy downpours in a short amount of time, while many areas also stay dry. Highs during this time should run generally in the middle 80's, with the humidity making it feel several degrees warmer.

A ridge out in the Plains will begin to flex its muscles for the upcoming weekend into next week, meaning even hotter stuff may head our way. Highs for the weekend will reach the upper 80's to near 90, then the low/mid 90's are a real possibility for early next week assuming the models are correct. 

If you are a summer weather fan, this is the forecast for you! It will be nice to actually have some summer weather again!! Have a great night and take care!
