.Short Term...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Aug 18 2022
* Quiet and seasonably pleasant weather continues through Friday
night
High pressure at the surface remains the dominant feature across the
area today, with scattered to broken fair weather cumulus owing to a
deep and fairly well-mixed boundary layer underneath a stout
midlevel subsidence inversion.
Light and variable winds along with the fair weather cloud cover
will continue through the afternoon into the early evening under the
influence of the high. Clouds will clear tonight as the boundary
layer decouples, leading to mostly clear skies overnight. Winds will
be calm to light and variable, trending somewhat more consistently
southerly as the surface high moves to the east. Conditions do not
look quite as favorable for fog as last night, and thus expect that
any patchy fog that may form will be light and mostly confined to
favored areas like stream valleys and other low-lying areas.
Friday looks to be a carbon copy of today for the most part, aside
from likely being slightly warmer as low level thicknesses and 850
mb temperatures increase a bit. Convective temperatures will again
be reached, and a low level moist layer atop the well-mixed boundary
layer will again produce cumulus cloud cover - likely trending even
more toward broken tomorrow. The continued presence of the ample
midlevel subsidence inversion will prevent anything more than a
layer of cumulus during the daytime hours.
Friday night will be partly to mostly clear early, becoming cloudier
with time as a closed upper level low slowly approaches.
Precipitation near and just ahead of this slow moving system will
likely hold off until the long term period, and will continue with
the dry forecast through 11Z Saturday, although depending on
convective evolution it is not entirely out of the question for some
weak showers to make their way into the northwestern portion of
central Indiana in the predawn hours Saturday.

to such an extent that many had to leave their farms in search of other
work. It was one of the worst hailstorms of record for the nation. (The
