Hottest & Driest Week of the Year on the Way!

Hello! I hope you had a great weekend. It is so quiet out there today I am getting ready to go on an extended run. Before I head out the door here are some of the big weather stories I am working on for 5,6, and 11 p.m.

1) Our driest week in months and perhaps the entire year is on the way.

2) As we dry out we will also heat up with our first heat wave of the year expected.

3) Today is a huge anniversary in Indiana weather history. Do you know what it is?

I will let you think about number 3. The reason for some of our big changes here in the Midwest. Look no further than Bertha. For every big storm that takes place, nature certainly has a reaction force and in this case a building high pressure over the Midwest that will finally end our stormy madness. This big low pressure off in the Atlantic helps to build these tranquil weather makers to help keep equilibrium in the atmosphere. This will help us finally dry out! It also means we are finally going to have some real summer heat! More details on the way tonight. Have a great day! Now off to run!! Remember the Zoo Run Run at Columbian Park Zoo is this Saturday at 8:30 a.m. I cannot wait to see you out there. It should be a whole lot of fun.

Lets see now, the number 3? could that be 3 C's mainly clear, crisp, and cool, since we have had only 1 day of 90* weather? then are we going to be in for the 3 H's
later in the week?

Wonderful to have the windows open to day, no AC! Love it, but I am still ready for the 3 H'S just in time for the fair!
