Last Week After recording 3 consecutives days in the 90s temps began to pull back to 80s for Tuesday, seasonal mid 70s for Wednesday and Thursday, then fall-like temps Friday in 50s, and May-like temps Saturday in low 70s. I will note that Friday we hit our high of 61° at midnight. At one point in the day it got up to 60 but most of the days temps remained fairly steady in the mid to upper 50s. This more typical for Halloween or April Fools Day.

| High Temp | 91 | 92 | 81 | 76 | 76 | 61 | 72 |

Yesterday we hit 80° around 4pm with trace amounts of precipitation (later in the evening). The low dipped to 51° between 5AM and 6AM yesterday morning. We are off to a cool start to the month, averaging more than 10° below normal. We'll have cool starts to the day in the mid to upper 50s this week but next week temps will trend higher. This morning though our morning low was a bit warmer than the past few mornings and whats expected this week. The thermometer read our morning low at 63° shortly before 4AM. As we approach the 8AM hour our temps are now in the mid 60s at 66° making our way towards upper 70s possibly topping 80° once again.

**June 20 marks the beginning of the summer solstice. This is also when we hit peak in terms of length of daylight hours, 15 hours occur on this day. From here, daylight hours will begin to decrease. The sun will begin to rise later as the summer goes on. Sunset times remain fairly stable at 9:17PM until the beginning of July and then begin to set sooner.
This Week
We are going into an Omega Blocking Pattern. What this means is the center of the U.S. will be under high pressure resulting in sunny skies. This is in between a ridge of low pressure to the East and one off to the West. The way its set up, NW U.S. will see cool temps with snow possible and off to the NE cool temps with rain. You get down to Southern California West and The Carolinians East temps will fall into the 60s and 70s. For us in Indiana our temps will be fairly seasonal and on repeat with highs in the mid to upper 70s with little to no chance of rain. While we will stay relatively dry its possible for either side of the country to be under clouds and receive some precipitation. As the dry weather pattern will be locked in this week (and most of the month), this will continue to add to our Rainfall Deficit in Indiana as the number below normal will continue to grow. We are more than 2" below normal in Indianapolis, -3+" in Lafeyette, -4+" in Muncie,
-5+" in Columbus, -6.50+" in Terre Haute, and more than 8" below normal in Bloomington just to name a few. In the image below (valid for last week) it indicates parts of the state are under a moderate drought (15% of the state), and half of the state is abnormally dry which excludes Central Indiana for now but a deficit is a negative value and ALL 92 counties in Indiana could use whatever raindrop the clouds can squeeze out. Looks like Today could be our next and only best shot for the week I'm ignoring the possibility for a few sprinkles Wednesday and Thursday at the moment as they look highly weak and highly probable to not occur.
What's Ahead
Looking beyond the next 5 days it looks lke the heat will return next weekend. Temps will climb from the low to mid to upper 80s as the weekend progresses. Typically during the 2nd week of June, the high temp avgs at 81° so temps looks to trend above normal in the 8-14 day outlook. We could be talking 90s again by around June 12th. The pattern might change mid next week and bring in a few shots of rain. Will continue to monitor and update in the coming days.
