Yesterday marked the 16th day & 9th consecutive day this month with a high temperature 80+. We have not hit 90s yet this year. We are getting there but we are coming up short especially with these storm chances around. We hit 88° on June 12th & 21st but went as high as 89° on June 22nd & 25th. Its been 304 days since our last 90 when we hit 92° on August 25th last year. The average date for our first 90 is June 19th. Here's a look at first 90° dates for other years along with a look back at first 70° & 80° dates since 2003.

There's been 10 (out of 25) days this month with either a trace or measurable precipitation recorded. The month's total rainfall through June 25th is up to 3.15". The normal amount is 3.54", so the month is running 0.39" below normal. With 1.43", we did have our wettest day on Sunday since mid April when 2.29" was recorded on April 18th. The second to that was 1.08" back on May 8th. Here's a look at total precipitation numbers around the state. Most areas are still doing well for the year. Need to watch Shelbyville area. They need a lot of rain. They are over 7" behind on rain this year.

I'll start today's weather forecast off with a look at the Day 1 Convective Outlook where SPC has placed all of Indiana under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.
The greatest threat for these storm will be damaging winds and large hail. You can also expect to see plenty of lighting and flash flooding from heavy downpours. Though the chance is low, we can't rule out the possibility of tornadoes.
How quickly will the atmosphere recover?
We did have storms last night lingering into early this morning so the atmosphere is rather stabilized. We'll need to get rid of the clouds and get some sunshine going. This will lead to hotter temperatures and the heat will rise creating an unstable environment. The greater the instability then the stronger storms will be. Again this will all be dependent on clouds. The more of it we have today then the cooler the day will be, and severe weather chances will be limited. Highs will be anywhere in between 85-90 degrees.
A dip in the jet stream will usher in cooler air. This will eliminate the severe weather but it won't necessarily get rid of the rain chances. We'll still have them around over the weekend into early next week. The cool off will be brief as we get back into some warmer temperatures just in time for the 4th of July festivities.
