Saturday/10:48AM

WEATHER CODE: ***No hazardous weather expected, however heat indices will be high***


Thought about raising this to a SLIGHT level due to the expected heat today, but decided to hold off. However, if you are going outside today, temperatures will top out in the lower 90's with heat indices in the middle to upper 90's! Bring the sun tan lotion along if you plan on being outside for a long period of time today...and as always...DRINK LOT'S OF WATER!

Tomorrow will be the hottest day of the summer. Temperatures will easily top 90, with many areas hitting 93 or higher. Heat indices will be near or just above 100! Tomorrow will be a a very dangerous day as far as heat is concerned. IF you HAVE to go outside, drink plenty of water, and don't over exert yourself.

Storms will return Monday. SPC has a 5% severe risk right now (shown below), but I expect some portion of this area to be upgraded to a SLIGHT RISK area tomorrow, probably across Central and South Central Indiana.


On this date in 1882 a August snowstorm was reported by a ship on Lake Michigan. Snow and slush measured up to as much as 6 inches deep. That is unheard of in August...
