Record Heat Followed By a Huge Cool-Down!!

NEAR RECORD HEAT... Officially 93° in Indianapolis today, and the heat index topped out at 100 around 4pm. We won't even see much relief overnight with lows slowly falling in the 70's. Tomorrow has real potential to tie (or even break) the record high of 95. I am forecasting 95 for Indianapolis. Keep in mind it will "feel" several degrees warmer than what you are seeing on the thermometers due to the very high levels of humidity. Heat indices will likely top out as high as 100-103 tomorrow afternoon. We can copy that forecast for Wednesday as well. I think this *could* be our last heat wave for the summer, so if you aren't digging this stuff just be patient! :)

STORM CHANCES!? We NEED RAIN!! Much of central Indiana has been stuck in this drier than normal pattern since July, and it seems relentless. A cold front approaching the area Wednesday night and Thursday will be our only hope for getting some rain. A few days ago this was looking like a good shot of decent rainfall, but the models have trended drier and drier with this system. PERHAPS .25-.50" of rain, but some areas will probably never get a drop of rain with this. 

BLAST OF CRISP - FALL AIR!! This is what we are all

waiting for, right?!! Once that cold front moves through late Thursday, we say good-bye to that heat and humidity, and hello to a true taste of FALL! Highs on Friday and Saturday could struggle to get out of the 60's in some areas, with lows falling in the 40's for a few mornings. Parts of northeast Indiana could even get down as low as the upper 30's. Talk about PERFECT weather for outdoor activities. Perfect camping and bonfire weather. :) 

Thanks for stopping by the blog. Have a great night and an awesome Tuesday! Stay cool!
