It's been snowing here for hours, but temperatures are around 32. Snowfall rate isn't great either. The result is melting is faster than any accumulation.

Hey Indy just measured 0.4", making it the 2nd snowiest day this month.

Indy's 79 is also the record for warmest so late in the season. I believe the previous 79's were also on November 1, where the record high was 81 that day.

Didn't see anything where I was at the time. More Information at: https://www.weather.gov/ind/june2_1990tor

I don't know anything behind ILX's discussion, but from my own experience, if I agree with SPC I'm going to refer you to it. It saves me time and allows me to focus on other things that need to be done. Now, if I disagree, I might spend more time discussing it. Either way some people are more verbose than others. (There was a time when AFDs had a 30 line limit, max.)

IND reached 67 degrees today, destroying the previous record of 62. The old record of 62 was last reached in 2019.

Could be, or multiple servers. Too common these days. Wasn't in the office so I don't know for sure what's going on.

Ok at the moment here at home. I noticed problems with the wx story last night. More than likely another problem with the servers. Hopefully it's fixed now.

Yes, this. The event is happening over a 36 hour period. Also, when issuing a warning (ignoring impacts for a moment) the average has to be 6". So 4-6" is an average of 5" which would be advisory. (Of course impacts could change things).

Indy made it to 91 today, breaking another daily record

Indy has broken the daily record of 89 with a high of 90 so far.

Not at work today, but there was a flash flood warning in effect for Madison Co due to parts of the county getting >2" in less than hour. Warnings often cover larger areas due to anticipated storm movement, so it could've weakened or something like that.

Agree. It was an event, not a big one, but still severe wx... https://www.weather.gov/ind/may192019severe

Indy's peak wind of 66 mph was the strongest non-thunderstorm gust since April 1988

Indy tied the record of 62 today (last reached 1992)

Indy tied the record low for today of -11

3.8" southwest of Indy. Not sure how much more we will get.

At the time of the evening update, it appeared that sleet would keep ice amounts in check. However, the warm air did win out and the next shift appropriately upgraded to an ice storm warning.

I remember the June 17/18 squall line event well. It was clear skies all day at my house, and then the squall line hit after dark. It was pretty intense. And yes, I am old, since I was in college that year.
