You know it's officially fall when the 'stink bugs' try to come inside.

 




In short: 
"Homeowners often find stink bugs inside during the late summer months as well as autumn, when temperatures outside start to drop. Finding large numbers of live or dead stink bugs is a telltale sign of an infestation. Stink bugs will turn up on sunny sides of homes where they warm themselves. Growers often detect an infestation by the damage they cause to their crops."



Today is the last day of Summer!

I know that makes some of you happy and others of you sad. Fall starts tomorrow. Well, officially it starts while you are sleeping tonight on Saturday, September 23, 2023 at 2:50 AM. Is that why we have to change our clocks at 2:00am for DST? Oh well, enjoy the nice days ahead. High temperature will be in the 70's for a long time. No other notable changes to report. 

I have noticed that the leaves change colors much earlier nowadays. It seems to start in late August. Just about anyone can find leaves changing color right now.

Enjoy!

Summer heat is still possible!

Summer will try to make a comeback during the last week of September. After that,  it's over until next year. Who wants 90 degrees on September 30? Check this out:



Will there be a big snow storm for Indiana in 2024?

Ryan Hall says it all Y'all!



One week of heat?

One week from today the heat will try and make one last stand with temperatures near 90 degrees. September 17-24 might be the last time we hit 90 degrees until next summer.

In the meantime, enjoy the 49 degree night time temperatures next Wednesday and Thursday nights. Fall is really close by. 



A world of caution on celebrity meteorologists and their upcoming winter weather forecasts.

There are winter forecasts out. If you're a weather nerd like me you've probably already heard the rumor by now that two famous internet meteorologist are saying that this will be a severe winter just like 1977 and 1978. The ocean and atmospheric patterns are the same but come on, we haven't even made it to the end of summer yet. It's still to early to talk about winter. Am I excited about the pattern? Yes! But's it's too early to tell. My analysis is telling me that we are warm until January and then February and March will be the coldest and snowiest month but let's wait and see. Things can change a lot between now and then. So, here what's being said:

Good news! A nice cool down is coming.

Cold air is building in the northeastern part of Canada and some of it is sliding down far enough to push the 90 degree heat out of our area. Low temperatures will be in the upper 50's and 60's for a while. High temperatures will be in the upper 70's and 80's. We are not out of the woods yet. Summer will try and make a comeback during the last week of September.
