Looks like 93º for the high today.

Latest point and click for the airport for tomorrow...

Monday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2pm. Areas of fog before 8am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 89. Light west northwest wind.

Also IND finally picked up some rain in the last hour...0.26" total. Much needed.

VERY much needed indeed. It's already half of what we received for the entire month of July! We could use a good soaking but at this point, I am willing to take anything. Looks like tomorrow could be the last day of the streak. Im not exactly holding my breath for Tuesday.

IND thought so too. Insert from afternoon AFD

ONLY OTHER ISSUE IS WHETHER KIND CAN MAKE IT TO 90 DEGREES FOR THE

23RD CONSECUTIVE DAY. ORIGINAL THINKING WAS THAT THEY MAY END UP

JUST SHY OF 90 DEGREES WITH INCREASED CHANCES FOR CLOUDS AND

PRECIP THIS AFTERNOON. QUICK WARMUP THIS MORNING TO 84 AS OF 15Z AND

850MB TEMPS TO AROUND 19C THIS AFTERNOON HAS ME THINKING 90 MAY BE

REACHED BEFORE THE MORE EXTENSIVE CLOUDS AND PRECIP CHANCES COME

BY 18-20Z.

Tomorrow is like last Thursday where you look at the soundings and say "well, this is a bit marginal"...check the MOS and it's several degrees below 90. Then tomorrow arrives and it turns into another close call. Tomorrow will need to be reevaluated tomorrow. Lot more faith in Wednesday at this point.

12z NAM has 850 temps around 12C for Wednesday. You'd think that would do the trick...

89º at 1PM. Highest in the state currently.

Unless the clouds move in quickly, looks like Day #23 is a given.

Up to 89 at 1pm..

Is it normal for IND to be the warmest locale in the state?

Lately it seems so, but I don't have the facts in front of me at the moment. Usually EVV is the warmest, of course they are the furthest south of the "quality controlled" sites in Indiana.

Agreed. Of course lately, IND has been the warmest on some days or they have been close in comparison. But typically, EVV is the warmest between the two.

Past 5 days:

(8/7) IND: 94 EVV: 93

(8/6) IND: 90 EVV: 89

(8/5) IND: 90 EVV: 90

(8/4) IND: 91 EVV: 90

(8/3) IND: 91 EVV: 95

Random sampling:

(6/12) IND: 83 EVV: 88

(6/11) IND: 91 EVV: 92

(6/10) IND: 88 EVV: 93

(6/9) IND: 92 EVV: 94

(6/8) IND: 91 EVV: 94

I think the 85 degree streak will be over on Wednesday.

That streak is pretty impressive as well, though that list has vanished from this page: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=71025&source=0

Nice stats.

I was also curious on average low temperatures for this August. Here's the rankings across Indiana...

EVV...72.7

IND...71.3

EYE...71.1

LAF...69.3

HUF...69.0

FWA...68.4

SBN...68.4

BMG...67.7

MIE...67.1

GEZ...67.0

850 mb temps on Wednesday are around 12C on the warmest models. Even adding a very generous 16C would only yield low 80's at the surface. Actually, if the cooler runs with 850 mb temps of 10-11C were to verify, you could make a case that it struggles to get to 80, but let's not go that extreme yet. :lol:

73º at 10AM. Coolest it's been at that hour in the past couple of days.

10AM temps:

Yesterday: 81º

Sunday: 77º

Saturday: 78º

Latest point and click for IND calling for a high near 87º.

Today: A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 87. West northwest wind around 11 mph.

Needless to say, if they hit 90º today, it will be the last day of the streak. Tomorrow has little to no chance. I think... :lol::unsure:

79º at noon. Struggling...

Past 3 days at noon

Yesterday: 86º

Sunday: 86º

Saturday: 84º

Update from IND NWS:

TWEAKED HIGH TEMPS JUST A BIT FOR THE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH THE

CLOUDS HAVE FINALLY THINNED AT KIND...TEMPS ARE RUNNING SEVERAL

DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS TIME MONDAY. EVEN THOUGH SOME TEMP

POOLING THROUGH THE LOWEST LEVELS SEEMS PROBABLE IMMEDIATELY

AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON...KIND MAY HAVE

TOO MUCH GROUND TO MAKE UP TO GET TO 90 FROM 15Z READINGS. WILL

FORECAST MID AND UPPER 80S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...88 AT KIND.

It will be close. Clouds are extremely sparse just south of Indy but I am just not sure if temps can rebound in time. Should've voted as I called the end of the streak for today. Oh well. It was an impressive new record regardless.

82º at 1PM. Going to be tough at this point. But yes, a very impressive streak.

Can't kill them off yet, I agree. Maybe a last gasp 3 degree intrahour bump is in the offing... :scooter:

Gonna have to make up for lost time. RUC has 900 mb temps of 22C which would support highs approaching 90 with enough mixing. Point forecast has 82 at IND at 2 PM but it will probably be a little warmer than that.
