Getting FOGGY out there in several hometowns. Conditions are perfect for fog development, especially in areas south of Indianapolis, which have received more recent rains than most. Expect this to gradually mix out as the morning progresses. #INwx FOX59 News


A line of storms in IL/IA will race SE into central Indiana today. Timeframe: 2-8 PM with from west to east. Heaviest rain likely in a 1-2 hr window per spot. Peak coverage ~60% by 4PM. Main threats: damaging winds & localized flooding, especially south of #Indy. #INwx FOX59 News 🌩️


A threat for heavy rain and localized flash floods also exists with today's storms. The latter will especially be the case in areas that received ample 2-5+" rains in recent days. Spots in that range are south of #Indianapolis. #INwx FOX59 News


Dew points in the 60s kick off the next work week but it won't last. Another HOT DOME builds late Tuesday and that's when dew points rise again. They could get 80° in spots. Oppressive humidity + highs in the 90s = heat index over 100° on a widespread basis. #INwx FOX59 News 🥵 🌡️


One lone storm in Putnam County just before 8:00 AM Sunday. Otherwise, all is quiet ahead of more rain in Illinois that moves in later this morning. Expect more widespread rain compared to yesterday. Coverage increases later this morning. #INwx FOX59 News

Flood WATCH kicks in today at 1:00 PM. Numerous showers and isolated storms will be around late morning and continue through the day. Downpours and flash flooding are the biggest threats along with an isolated higher wind threat. Remember, turn around, don't drown! #INwx FOX59 News


A cluster of storms in Illinois is moving into the NW portions of our viewing area. Winds around 40 MPH are possible in portions of Fountain, Tippecanoe and Warren Counties in addition to frequent thunder, lightning and downpours. #INwx FOX59 News

HOT DOME is taking shape. It's MUGGY across most of the Midwest with our western counties seeing the brunt of the humidity today. The 100°+ heat indices extend eastward on Thursday, with a Heat Advisory taking effect for the remainder of the state at that time. #INwx FOX59 News🥵 🌡️


An 80° DEW POINT being recorded just after 5PM in #TerreHaute. That high of a dew point is rare for an Indiana summer and is tough for states like Florida to reach at times. The last time #Indianapolis had an 80° dew point was on August 25, 2023. #INwx 🌡️💦 FOX59 News


Wednesday marked the 15th 90° day this season in #Indianapolis. We'll be adding PLENTY more to this graphic in the days ahead. Another hot dome is moving in and puts the entire Hoosier State under its belt Thursday. #INwx FOX59 News


Expect heat index values across the board tomorrow 100-110°. That puts central Indiana under the "Major" heat risk. Through early next week, central Indiana under "major" heat risk each day. Take this heat seriously as it looks to have some staying power. #INwx FOX59 News


"Welcome to the JUNGLE" is an accurate description of Central Indiana's weather today, as Guns N' Roses says. Dew points in the 70s to near 80° with 100-110° Heat Indices as Heat Advisories continue. Feels more like Central America with the humidity this afternoon. #INwx FOX59 News


This downpour impacting portions of Madison, Hancock and Henry Counties provides BRIEF relief from the humidity. If you receive a shower today, you're very lucky. However, storms like this have frequent thunder, lightning, small hail and higher wind gusts. #INwx FOX59 News


Most of central Indiana seeing heat indices between 100°-110° today. But plenty of spots saw HIGHER numbers. Fortville and Mount Comfort (both Hancock Co) had peak heat indices of 114° 🥵 Castleton (Marion Co) peaked at 112°. FOX59 News studio and #Indy airport peaked at 105°. #INwx
