Areas of abnormally dry conditions are spreading farther east, now into Central Indiana.
While we are not in a “drought” at this time, this is a good indicator that we could be slip into one this summer, if we don’t get some much needed rainfall.
We’ll have a few chances for rain over the next few days but it will be spotty to scattered in nature.
We’ve received only about 30% of our average rainfall since mid-April.
Not only are brown lawns arriving early this year, but so are 90° temperatures.
Keep in mind, our average high in Indianapolis tops out at 85° during the summer.
But 90’s are normal.
By the end of the weekend, we should be at six 90° days for the year, so far.
It will be a hot one today.
If you’re going to be mowing the lawn later this afternoon, temperatures will be at or near 90°.
