Heat Advisory Friday
Posted ByHighs today will hit the low to mid 90s, but it will feel much warmer thanks to the humidity. A Heat Advisory is in effect for all of Central Indiana. It will feel like 100-110 degrees because of the humidity. There’s a slight chance for an isolated storm this afternoon, but most spots stay dry.
Saturday, more heat, but a little relief is on the way. Highs will hit the low 90s, and as a cold front approaches the state in the afternoon/evening our chance for t-storms increases. Some may be strong to severe with heavy rain and damaging wind.
For Race Day, it is a little “cooler.” Highs hit the mid 80s, but there’s a 30% chance of t-storms until midday. We’ll be watching the radar closely, so tune in from 6am-noon for your complete Brickyard coverage.
Hot, Humid, Storms Building
Posted ByHighs today will hit the upper 80s with a mix of sun and clouds and t-storms building during the heat of the day. Some storms could be strong to severe, and they will be hit or miss as we’ve seen over the past week or so. Again, very heavy rain and damaging wind is possible from some t-storms that develop. Is this Groundhog Day or what?
Overnight lows only drop to the mid 70s, but the chance for storms goes down drastically as we lose daytime heating. I can’t rule out an isolated storm, but at this point, I don’t see widespread storms overnight.
Friday, whew! The weekend is almost here! Highs will hit the low to mid 90s and with the heat index it’s going to feel closer to 100-105 or so. yikes! We’ll keep the chance for an isolated storm in there.
Saturday, the heat continues, and so does our chance for isolated storms.
Now for the Brickyard Sunday! We cool off to the mid 80s, but a 30% chance of a t-storm still sticks around. We’ll be on the air from 6am to noon with the latest weather and traffic info. Plus, give you a look at the race!
I’m going to come clean, I’m addicted to my BlackBerry.
I never thought this would happen to me. I’ve only had it for about 2 months. Before that, I just had a regular old cell phone. But, now, I’m always connected, with the internet at my fingertips. The little red light blinking means I have a new e-mail, and I must… check… it!
Twitpic-ing has become easier, and even more tweets are flying from my fingers when I’m on the run. I am a total believer in social media, and I guess that fuels my BlackBerry addiction even more.
The worst part of my addiction, is leaving my BlackBerry by my bedside. I have to, in case I get called in for work. I need to be able to answer my phone. But, it’s turned into me waking up in the middle of the night, and grabbing out in darkness to check my e-mail, or even check the radar if t-storms are supposed to be on the way.
Throughout the day it’s always by my side. My husband’s even “yelled” at me to put it down while watching TV.
How many of you are doing the same thing… or am I just crazy?
