:facepalm: When will it end?!?!?!? :lmao:

I read Larry Cosgrove's blog from this past weekend (http://www.examiner.com/weather-in-houston/weatheramerica-newsletter-part-2-saturday-july-30-2011-at-5-40-p-m-ct) and his thought is that is this pattern could last until Labor Day.. :yikes:

Ugh. I like hot weather just as much as the next person but even this is a little too much. We could use the rain as well. With the airport only receiving 0.47 inches last month most of the yards around here are desperate for anything. Last time I checked models aren't showing much in the way of significant rain for the next couple of days around here.

Yeah the short term looks like nada for Indy. Euro keeps pimping Saturday night/early Sunday as the next best chance of rain for central Indiana (widespread amounts of at least 0.75"). I'll believe it when I see it though...

September?

For real though, most of the guidance seems to be retrograding the ridge west (and flattening it south) in the extended. Have to think our rainfall chances go up and the real heat (our relative real heat) stays confined to well southwest of here. I think the 90 streak breaks soon, but the record looks like toast.

I think they are a little too warm. I'll still be surprised if it survives until Friday. I give it a 25% chance of ending on Wednesday and 60% chance on Thursday.

I guess it's possible. Though the dry ground thing in the AFD makes sense...no rain of consequence down there with this next front.

Lastest point and click for the airport keeping "hope" alive...

Wednesday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 8am. Partly sunny and hot, with a high near 91. West southwest wind 8 to 13 mph becoming north northwest.

Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 90. Northeast wind around 8 mph.

Friday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 90.

Beyond that, it's close enough to watch...

Saturday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 89.

Sunday: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 89.

Monday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 87.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 88.

The typical blowtorch UKMET would barely support 90 on Thursday if that. I believe in the dry ground idea but I'm skeptical it will be enough to overcome the relatively cool air aloft (relatively being the key word) and lack of better mixing.

Maybe they'll pull out another intra hour 92º like the other day, despite no hourly obs in the 90's. :guitar:

I personally think we will have no problem making it today and feel pretty confident we should make it tomorrow. Temperature is already 80 at IND.

Today is a lock. I tend to agree with you about tomorrow, but it'll be pretty close.

Latest point and click for the airport, building drama...

Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. North northeast wind around 5 mph.

Off the 12z runs...MAV has 84 and MET 82 for tomorrow. Should be lots of sun tomorrow but I really don't think it's going to be that close. I feel like most of the afternoon will be in the mid 80's with maybe a brief spike to 87 or so.

Atleast we made 90 so far today with no sun whatsoever. May reach 91-92. Tomorrow Im just going to cross my fingers. According to my thermo. at home today is the 19th day we've hit 90 but obviously not official :arrowhead:

Per IND NWS Chat- "Just an FYI, since we have been getting a lot of calls, we did reach 90 today."

EDIT: From afternoon disco: " THE CLOUDS PLUS COOLER AIR ALOFT MOVING IN MEANS THAT THE 90 DEGREE STREAK AT INDIANAPOLIS WILL END."

Looks like Cincy's streak of 90+ ended today at 17. It was close, but temps didn't make it out of the upper 80s due to all of the cloud cover. That ties 1901 for the longest streak.

Louisville's streak continues... up to 18 in a row now. The record is 22 (though I don't remember the year(s), and NWS LMK removed the headline from its page).

As long as there's not a 3 degree intrahour bump to push it over the top. I'd start thinking the fix is in. :whistle:

I was actually thinking we'll probably see the magic intrahour bump today. Might want to see if any mets from IND are holding a lighter to the thermometer as we speak. :lol:

88 at 2PM. Going to go ahead and say they'll make it, but barely.

Well, I guess I shouldn't have been so bold in my discussion yesterday saying we wouldn't hit the 90 mark today. D'oh!!!
