They hit 90! The record has been broken.

Quote: "nwsind-hmt: All: We hit 90 degrees at 5:08 PM at Indy International. A break developed in the cloud deck and brought us up from 88 to 90 within a few minutes. We sat at 90 for 4 minutes before dropping back. Currently at 5:15 we are 89."

90º ended up being the high. 4 very crucial minutes apparently. :lol:

Anyways, tomorrow and Sunday look like locks to reach 90. Monday, eh don't know. But one would think it ends sometime early next week. Though it is IND...won't go down without a fight...

I think tomorrow is going to be close again due to cloud cover. Sunday is a lock. I predict Monday won't even be close. If you can slide by tomorrow, I think your 22 prediction is a winner.

Have to say I like it too. Totally random guess, but hey it may be right.

Amazing though that on an otherwise overcast day down there today, the skies lighten up for a brief period to get the bounce to 90º.

Yeah, I'd call 4 minutes kinda weak. Impressive accomplishment nonetheless.

They still have to beat LAF's 23 straight days (July 9-31, 1983) to be crowned kings of central Indiana. :guitar:

Next 1936 heat streak to try to beat one day is the 100 degree streak, although that might as well be Cy Young's win total.

Yeah I'd say so. :lol:

For the LAF area, it's 13 at the WL COOP. In modern times at LAF, it's 4 (July 20-23, 1983).

Another record that IND has broken this year, 85º+ streak. Seemingly no end in sight for this one...

Looks like 93º for the high today.

Latest point and click for the airport for tomorrow...

Monday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2pm. Areas of fog before 8am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 89. Light west northwest wind.

Also IND finally picked up some rain in the last hour...0.26" total. Much needed.
