I love the 90's don't you?

Today's high will be 91 degrees in Bloomington. Please remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated if you are outside.




Oddly enough though, the air quality is going to be pretty good today.




Grass and tree pollen are at high levels so if you have allergies, you might want to stay in.





Here is the NWS analysis for the long term: (PS: There's good news at the end if you hate the 90's!)

.NEAR TERM /Today/...
Issued at 313 AM EDT Sat Jun 6 2020

A front is just to our north this morning, and this will slide
southward through the area early today. No convection is expected
along it, as convective temperatures appear unreachable and a
strengthening subsidence inversion centered around 825 mb will
keep the overall profile stable.

Ample sunshine is expected across the area, and highs should be in
the 80s across the area, with potential to hit the 90 degree mark
across the far southern portion of the area. Blend handled this
well and required no significant adjustment.

.SHORT TERM /Tonight through Monday Night/...
Issued at 313 AM EDT Sat Jun 6 2020

Surface high pressure over the Great Lakes will be the dominant
force across the area throughout the short term, and the strong
subsidence inversion will remain in place, along with a
significantly less humid airmass, making for ample sunshine and
fairly pleasant conditions.

Blend temperatures appeared reasonable throughout. Temperatures
will still be in the 80s across the area Sunday, with the 90
degree mark potentially sneaking back into our west on Monday.

.LONG TERM /Tuesday through Friday/...
Issued at 341 AM EDT Sat Jun 6 2020

Much of the extended period will see a transition from hot weather
on Tuesday to a cooler and drier regime by late next week as the
remnants of Cristobal interact with an expanding upper trough to
aid in the shift in the overall pattern.

The ridge aloft in place over the Ohio Valley to begin the week
will be shifting to the east on Tuesday as the Cristobal remnants
lift north through the Ozarks. Model guidance remains consistent
in a predominantly due north track to the remnants that will keep
the widespread heavy rainfall west of the forecast area with the
remnant low in Wisconsin by Tuesday night and near the south end
of James Bay by Wednesday afternoon.

Scattered convection will become increasingly likely from west to
east over central Indiana on Tuesday with the greatest risk for
convection Tuesday night and Wednesday morning as a strong low
level jet associated with the remnants lift through the region.
Locally heavy rainfall continues as the primary threat with PWATs
climbing above 2 inches. Remain concerned that potential for low
topped convection in an environment with deeper BL shear and storm
relative helicity may produce a conditional severe weather
risk...but the timing late Tuesday night into early Wednesday
morning is likely to rob available instability.

A large upper level trough over the northern Plains will help to
kick out the Cristobal remnants to the N/NE Wednesday while
ushering in a cooler and much drier airmass for later next week.
Chances for rain will end by Wednesday evening as a cold front
sweeps east. An amplified upper level flow will develop across the
country with the ridge centered over Texas and the deep trough
over Ontario. This will place central Indiana within a dry
northwest flow regime as high temperatures slip back into the mid
and upper 70s by next Friday and Saturday.
