The main contents of this week’s forecast are as follows:
– oppressive humidity
-Storm time
-Time goes back to the mid-1990s
While today's high temperature won't be the highest we'll see all week, the rapid rise in humidity will make it feel oppressive. Monday's high will rise to 84 degrees, which feels like 90 degrees.
There is a large group of storms in Illinois this morning that will bring scattered storms to our area between 3 and 8 p.m. There is a marginal risk of severe storms across the viewing area, with “slight risk” in western areas. This includes the potential for damaging wind gusts, large hail and isolated tornadoes.
We should see another round of showers and storms develop overnight. Whenever storms break out near Indianapolis around 8-10 PM, we are in for a stormy night. The threat of severe weather will continue, along with heavy rainfall for some.
The best time for rain on Tuesday will be early morning, with most of the day being dry. The rain should stop before driving during the morning rush hour. The high temperature climbed to 90 and the heat index was 96 degrees. The oppressive humidity is immediately apparent when you step outside. Dew point is rising into the mid 70s!
Temperatures will rise into the 90s on Wednesday and Thursday, with the heat index exceeding 100 degrees. Likewise, the humidity can be so high it can feel like there's a “wall of water” outside!
