Jackstraw

Scorcher here today at 93/68. Need that dew line to move about 40 miles NE so can get in on some cooling action. That gradient has been stubbornly fixed the last couple of days.

Hit 92 today. Pop ups all around, nice time for one to pop right on top and give us a quick 10-15 degree cool down!

Now that you say that I have noticed they've been warmer than the other airports around them. Maybe they're working on it now because Muncie is reporting 70 and Marion 84 at 11am lol.

Heat Island special

Central Indiana just got transferred to Hades in like 72 hours. The foot of the oppressive dome is bearing down. We're still at 89 at 8pm (really 7pm in my book lol). Edit: Muncie 25 miles east still reporting 91!

Hit 90 here for the first time this year today.

Decent hail core on it also

Nice day today after the drizzle moved out. Finally a P&C forecast with less than 30 to 40% chance of rain over the next 7 days (still 20%) and more seasonable temps (not like I'm complaining lol). Seen this forecast before over the last month only to get that pesky boundary to set back up. Hopefully more of a summer pattern setting in minus the humidity.

Yep 73 here w/70 dews at 10pm. Feels warmer than it did at 1pm when it was 82.

From the latest SPC meso discussion, perfect timing, and a case where the local NWS re-instituted the watch perhaps? DISCUSSION...The intensity of convection across WW 433 has decreased over the last 30-60 minutes in some area from western TN into eastern AR. Other areas, mainly western KY/southern IL and portions of southern AR, have increased in intensity. In the short term, WFOs PAH, MEG and LZK have addressed the continued strong wind threat will local aerial extensions as needed.... Further north, across western KY/southern IL, the line has been intensifying and surging eastward. This is likely being driven by the expansive cold pool across AR/MO as well as stronger deep flow in the vicinity of stronger forcing occurring with a weak shortwave impulse migrating across the mid-MS Valley region. This portion of the line may continue to produce damaging wind gusts and PAH has addressed this by expanding WW 433. A line of storms moved across parts of western/central KY early today, but recent observations show conditions have likely recovered somewhat across western portions of WFO LMK. This may require an additional watch later this evening depending on trends as the line approaches this previously disturbed airmass.

That warned line around Paducha has some wicked QLCS hooks along it

Hope it doesn't out run the instability as it moves NE of Indy.

Thank goodness the 21st has passed. DST just flippin' sucks. Still daylight at 9:30 and twilight after 10? DST wasn't so bad down south but when I moved back here it blew my mind. Especially since IN was a holdout. I don't give a crap about the advantages they spout out. If I wanted to live in the land of the midnight sun I'd be there. Stop f%^&ing with my clock!

Indy still has a shot at a record June rain fall total, but yeah southern IN. can't handle much if any, more rain. I think they could plant this Frankencorn they have now days on the 4th and still harvest it by the end of October. That little 3 or 4 day window prior to the 10th allowed a lot of farmers around here to get a crop in and those fields are already 6-8 inches tall with some damn near a foot.

Depends on your interpretation of worse lol. I'll take it

Good news is they don't look like they're going to settle in for any extended time over the next couple weeks. May have some decent breaks. But that also probably means more of this wet pattern

These storms are crawling. Maybe 10mph. Whole state is under a flood watch now.

If some of the models are to be believed over the next 10 days KIND could be bumping up to '98 (10.26") and 1875 (12.22") for the wettest June on record. Pretty impressive with none of this coming from a tropical system.

Days like yesterday make you appreciate the power of the sun when directly overhead. While cooling down most of the day the sun finally popped out around 5 and those few hours of sunlight made a very noticeable difference, jumped about 5 degrees in an hour or so. Pretty wild pressure jumps too from 1018 down to 1005 back up to 1017 in 24-30 hours.
