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.

HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS
...1835...
A severe cold wave gripped the southeastern U.S. The mercury dipped to 8
above at Jacksonville FL, and to zero at Savannah GA. Orange trees were
killed to the roots. (David Ludlum)
...1936...
The temperature at Denver CO plunged to a record 30 degrees below zero.

...1987...
A powerful storm produced blizzard conditions in the Great Lakes Region.
Winds gusted to 86 mph at Janesville WI and Cleveland OH received 12 inches
of snow. North winds of 50 to 70 mph raised the water level of southern
Lake Michigan two feet, and produced waves 12 to 18 feet high, causing
seven million dollars damage along the Chicago area shoreline. It was the
most damage caused by shoreline flooding and erosion in the history of the
city of Chicago. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)
