Leap Day Recap & Outlook

Good Evening! Just as I thought, the storm system that moved through Indiana late Tuesday Night, Early Wednesday Morning was not all that significant here in Indianapolis. We received about a half inch of rain here. This system as a whole, however, tallied up a dozen fatalities & tornadoes in the Midwest. The eye of this storm impacted Missouri, Southern Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennesse the most. Gusty Winds was also a big issue. We had winds near 30mph and Gusts to 36mph Today.
Also we got a big boost in temps well into the upper 60s. 5pm high of 69°. Still pretty shy of the 30 yr record in the mid 70s on this leap day. These temps are more typical for the beginning of May.

Storm System #1 has now pushed its way to the East Coast currently impacting Virginians and Carolinians.


We have a another, suspectingly, powerful storm system coming. This Storm Sytem #2 will sweep by on Friday. Temps once again could rise up into the 60s.

Behind this, we have yet another weekend cool down but not as cold as last Saturday. Low in upper 20s and Highs in Low 40s and upper 30s for Saturday and Sunday, respectively. There is a small chance for some flurries Sunday and Monday Morning. Temps will warm back to 50s on Tuesday and perhaps mid 60s again for next Wednesday. We are looking at spring warmth for next weekend into Mid March.
