100 Degree Heat Today, Changes For The Labor Day Weekend!

Good morning! We are starting the month of September with record heat! Yesterday marked the warmest start to september since 1953, with a high of 99! More records will fall today!

Highs today will top 100, with lots of sunshine. HEAT ADVISORY in effect, because heat illnesses can occur if you don't take the heat seriously. It's not often you say 100 degrees in Indiana!

Another warm, muggy night ahead. Lows in the upper 70s.

It looks like our Saturday will be much like today, sunny & hot! Highs will hit the middle-upper 90s. Storm chances begin to move in Saturday night, and the best chance comes Sunday. It will not be a washout Sunday, but expect a few rounds of storms during the day. Sunday will be cooler, in the low 80s. The cold front FINALLY moves through late Sunday-early Monday, and skies should begin to clear out for our Labor Day. Highs will only hit the low-mid 70s!!! Basically if you have cookouts planned, Sunday will be the worse of the 3 days. Monday will be the best day, because it will feel SO much better!

The forecast really goes up in the air for next week, as we watch the track of Lee. This system could bring days of rain and very cool temps late next week. Right now, Tuesday and Wednesday look gorgeous! I will add a chance of rain next Thursday-Friday. Again, this thing could miss us completely, so don't count on it yet. What is certain is that we will only be in the middle 70s each day next week. Wouldn't be surprised to drop in the 40s Tuesday & Wednesday mornings! From 100 today to 40s for lows next week! That's a change!

Here is the track of Lee through the middle of next week. This will be a very slow moving storm. Over 20" of rain likely in Louisiana from Lee!























Drought Status: The drought continues to get worse across the state of Indiana! A part of Morgan & Johnson counties have been upgraded to SEVERE drought. The rest of central & most of southern Indiana remain in a MODERATE drought. Here is the latest drought monitor map:


This is why we need Lee to track our way next week! We desperately need rain!!!

Have a great day, and please stay cool!!
