Synopsis...

THE HOOSIER STATE SAW A RETURN TO MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES 
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AFTER SEVERAL DAYS BELOW NORMAL. READINGS 
CLIMBED INTO THE LOWER 80S AT MOST LOCATIONS. SKIES WERE MOSTLY 
SUNNY STATEWIDE TOO.

TONIGHT WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL SECTIONS AND 
PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE FAR SOUTH.  A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER 
INDIANA WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD.  HOWEVER IT SHOULD PROVIDE ONE 
MORE DAY OF DRY WEATHER OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SECTIONS ON 
THURSDAY.

LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM 60 TO 65 AND HIGH 
TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE 80S. AN AREA OF LOW 
PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL DRIFT 
TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY NEXT FEW DAYS.  THIS SYSTEM MAY PRODUCE A 
FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE THURSDAY OVER SOUTHWEST SECTIONS OF OUR 
STATE.  THEN WE CAN EXPECT A BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS STATE 
WIDE BY FRIDAY.
